........which is weird because in the podcast it was Jago and Litefoot Series 2. Possibly next week's (as they record multiple podcasts at once). I just tried it out and it IS Jago and Litefoot Volume 2.

Haven't heard the Smoke and Mirrors story, so may check it out at some point. I have generally quite liked Lyons' work for BF (Warlock's Cross being the exception that proves the rule), so I am hoping that this is to a good standard. The Fires of Vulcan, Colditz and his contribution to the first Klein trilogy were quite good IMHO. Lyon's work 'Killing Ground' for the Missing Adventures Range in the 1990s was also quite good and that was a Sixth Doctor adventure (one that I wish BF would adapt). Hopefully, this will bode well. Definitely recommended. He was one of my favourite authors when I was first starting out. I think The Stealers of Dreams was among the first, if not the first, NDA I read. A planet that has outlawed fiction with all the consequences you'd expect (and a few more that catch you by surprise). The 2012 series Psycho-Pass reminds me a lot of it, now that I think about it. I've a great fondness for Killing Ground. It has this extraordinarily raw depiction of the Cybermen and their impact. On everything. The establishment of Agora as essentially this farm for organic components... The Bronze Knights created to rebel against them... Hegelia's obsession with them as these almost divine supermen... The retelling of The Tomb of the Cybermen as a children's picture book... The Doctor's own powerlessness and uncertainty in himself and the events on Agora... Boost his involvement as Johnny Morris did for Seven with Damaged Goods and you'd have a fantastic BF adaptation on your hands. A Cyber-story that explores firsthand what conversion feels like. If you'd like to hear more of his stuff, I highly recommend the Crossfire boxsets for Blake's 7. I could've been bluffed into thinking the scripts were recovered from the series's production office while it was still running. Would be interesting if Titan did an adapt of Killing Ground as a comic

I am disappointed that it is UK residents only. Especially since I *can't* attend Big Finish day in person. Didn't they used to mail CD's to podcast competition winners outside the UK sometimes?
