I’ve already got s2 So anything anyone would recommend? Series 3 (all of)
Series 4
Requiem of the Rocket Men / Death Match
Suburban Hell
Cloisters of Terror
Series 5 is my least favourite Series but it does have
Labyrinth of Buda Castle
(Great Doctor and Villain set pieces)
The Trouble with Drax
(A brilliantly fun release)
As you've got Series 2
Causalities of Time/ Pursuit of History would be worth getting.
Regards

Well then,
I guess I do need Labrynth of Buda Castle & The Trouble with Drax.
Two downloads won't break the bank, especially as they piqued my interest upon release.

My thoughts on the 4DAs on sale, which includes the box sets as well.
I like Nick Briggs as a writer and he has written a lot of fantastic stuff, but for some reason his 4DA stories are amongst the weakest of the range in seasons 1-5. However the range itself is so strong that even the weaker ones are still good.
There is only one story of all the ones on sale that is out and out bad and to be avoided - 3.7 The Abandoned

First you go for weeks where everything on sale is everything you already own. Then you get a week with three purchasing opportunities all in one week. Bought the last 4 series 5 Fourth Doctor Adventures I needed in order to complete my collection. At least it was the least expensive of the purchases I made this week.

I need all stories from Zygon Hunt onwards so I should be able to make a decent dent in series 4.
Pay day today = Added bonus

Finally! Bought the whole Series 5 download bundle - now I've got the first 5 series to listen to! That's some backlog! Query: Is there a Bundle option for Series 5? I am looking for it but cannot find one. Edit: Found it! £21 - a £3 saving. Will probably stick with the aforementioned 2 choices as I still have half of series 2-4 still to get through, being one for re-listens even when there are fresh purchases awaiting.

It’s always good plugging the gaps in collections

So.. When I bought my 12.. I did a comparison with Book Depository. Big Finish with the multiple postage and handling charges $149 AUST Book Depository with free postage and handling $171 AUST I went with Big Finish for this one.. $22 is $22 in my pocket Plus the downloads at no extra cost.

Are the 4th Doctor Short Trips on sale as well? That is about the only thing 4 related that I don't have a complete set of.

True. I also wish Tom had come on board a couple of years earlier so we could have gotten a series or 3 with Elisabeth Sladen. Or Tom with Nick Courtney.

I'm sure he probably does. Every now & then I think about what BF would have looked liked if Tom were there at the beginning. A Main Range featuring Doctors 4, 5, 6, 7 and eventually 8.

I wonder would we through have had Sarah reintroduced to the same effect though in Tennants Stories?If she had been part of Tom and Big Finish.

They want more of what they love.
I certainly don't look at Tim Treloar as the fake 3rd Doctor and I find that a very limiting viewpoint. He is the 3rd Doctor on audio. The ranges has gotten stronger & stronger.

I have found Toms range getting better and better too there’s the dramatic edge to his voice now less Little Britain less Tom Baker the person and more Tom Baker THE Doctor
