I have no interest in Dorian Grey or Dark Shadows.
I already have This Is Colin Baker and it's fantastic.
I might get The Avengers. I enjoyed the free excerpt I listened to. What's the regular price for those releases?

What's the regular price for those releases? The Avengers boxsets are £30 for CD and £25 for download, so there's a ten pound discount there. While I absolutely appreciate that you have no interest in Dark Shadows, I would just point out that The House by the Sea is more a spooky version of The Colin Baker Show than anything steeped in DS continuity - which is a good thing, by the way

I have no interest in Dorian Grey or Dark Shadows. Not even at those prices to try? What doesn't appeal about them?

You know guys Mayfair Monster is excellent too and it's only $4.00. I dare you to listen to it and not fall in love with Colin Baker's Tom.

I got all the free sample Eps of Dorian last year and I found the charterer to be the guy at the party that everyone else likes but you see has a vain contempt for everybody and everything even Dark Forces (I did enjoy the performances though).

There are plenty of Doctor Who sales during the year, so a sale showcasing some of Colin's other work for BF isn't a bad way of celebrating his birthday... and if it gets some people interested in other Big Finish ranges, even better.
As they are on sale I'd definitely recommend The Mayfair Monster and The House by the Sea. They are well worth a listen at those prices.
Oh, and Happy Birthday Colin Baker.

This is Colin Baker was brilliant, his moment with Grade is a great little bit of apotheosis. It's about time I got round to buying The House by the Sea. Maybe even one of The Avengers boxsets... Hmm...
Happy birthday, Colin Baker! Thank you for your tireless effort at bringing all these characters -- including our foremost calico cat who walks through time -- to life. May there be many more.

I'll consider it. Go on, you know you want to hear it! The trailer does sound good. Colin's voice gets me every time.

I've got all of these and I agree that the Dark Shadows and Dorian releases are the pick of the bunch for 'Colin heavy' releases (the interview is also good). The Avengers is great (but Colin's role is less central).
As no one else has spoken up for it, I'd also recommend the Drama Showcase release, although I have to confess I didn't even realise Colin is in it - it's not a big role really - but it's a Louise Jameson tour de force which is no bad thing.
