This is a bit of a weird one for me. I liked the (as has been described perfectly earlier in this thread) Roger Moore 007/evil Emma Peel vibe of the series, I thought the sound design was spot-on, that theme song is amazing, and I thought all the actors did quite well (seriously, bring Michelle Ryan back any time, she's a natural at this)....but the series as a whole fell kind of flat for me. It may well just be down to the Christina character, but there's a certain smug self-satisfaction vibe cutting through this entire boxset that put me off a bit. And hey, maybe that's just down to the writers really nailing the character and me not being overly fond of her, I'm honestly not sure.
It's very similar to the reaction I have to the Vienna sets, and going forward, I expect my reaction will likely be the same: I'll give future releases a shot, but I'll be looking for them on sale rather than rushing to preorder.

I'm planning some order before the April 1st jump in price, and I wanted to know how much Sam Bishop(Warren Brown) is in this. He is my favourite character from UNIT and I love Warren Brown's work, such as Luther and Strike Back, so if he is in more than one episode, I'll definitely have this at the front of my queue.

I think he is in them all, to varying degrees. From memory he has a larger presence in the 3rd & 4rth stories.

Dammit. The Lady Christina theme tune is stuck in my head. Mine too since this morning. This really is quite a fun set, I had a feeling I'd like it. Certainly didn't want to pay £35.00 for it, so was patient and waited and have just picked it up for £8.00

This was the most surprising release of 2018 for me. I loved it, and that was completely unexpected.

Am all for fun in my audios but dramatic fun . But is it a set that requires a sequel. I do remember ,even with the TV SHOW annoyed that they used the Flying Bus (Iris) just as i was annoyed they used an archeologist when we already had one. Although Michelle was great in the role I do not remember thinking “geez I need more of LadyC”.Thats another thing why are always these thieves Lady something or other lol. Carolyn Seymour for instance in Counter Measures?Though i have to say i do love Carolyns lady and remember thinking after first listen-I hope they have more with her.

As with all these things it's down to personal taste. I thought the first story was very much 'The Persuaders' in tone and setting, all with a touch of SciFi. The second has a kind of 10th Doctor Adipose vibe, IMO they are all kind of 'fluffy fun' which is a nice change from the usual who audio stuff. Having Sam Bishop involved is also a great touch. The 200 is IMO is a bit of a clunky form of transport buy hey ho. Odd that I wanted this set from day one where as Jenny has never interested me.
