Another Happy New Year of great BF audios beckons and it's a time for resolutions, so which titles have you resolved to buy in January? Kamelion takes shape in a misty MR mystery with the Fifth Doctor, Tegan and Turlough: Devil in the MistAnd there's a Short Trip to Geneva for two of the Doctor's favourite warriors in The Revisionists |

I'm getting everything but the audiobook version of Uprising... It's an expensive month! I couldn't choose what I'm looking forward to most, there's just too much good stuff on offer  |

Everything but the novel/e-book version of Uprising. A very exciting month!

First Doc Volume 3-The cast has established itself and the stories are taking off in quality so far (plus who is Carole Ann Ford playing?)
The Revisionists-A second year of Short Trips subscription
The Diary of River Song Series 5-Past two volumes have been of good quality, and the return of Michelle Gomez and Eric Roberts should be fun

Getting all the DW titles, and fortunately some have been pre-ordered for a long time which helps cushion the immediate financial impact at least! Most anticipated? A few stood out for various reasons: River 5 - I'm already impressed for the occasion  and I haven't even heard the trailer. When egos collide! And River doesn't have all the Doctor's strict morals so the gloves will no doubt be off! The 1DAs - I'm a big fan of the classic TV historicals and Marc Platt's superb BF historicals, so 'The Phoenicians' is a top highlight for me. And 'surely it's Susan' - twice? Surely??
The New Counter-Measures: The Hollow King - Ian Potter's 'Troubled Waters' was the outstanding episode of TNCM1+2 for me, so I'm thrilled we'll get the chance to hear his new story after all. And in the 4DAs, 'The Enchantress of Numbers' because of Ada Lovelace and because it's by Simon Barnard and Paul Morris.
But I could happily cop out and say 'all of them' and it would be true - what a month in prospect, every range doing something special* in one way or another. (*Even more special than usual, that is!  ) |

First Doctor Adventures and River 5 are my big ones for January.
Despite my vocal disdain for recasts, I find the use of the Adventure in Space & Time cast for the 1DAs to be inspired, and the stories themselves have been absolutely terrific. I have no idea how well this range sells, but I'm hoping it sells well because I would like for it to go on and on.
And River meets the Masters? Heck yeah!

The only things that I'm not getting are the Blake's 7 releases, so I'm looking forward to anything else - especially River (The return of Missy and the Roberts Master is my main excitement for the set), and 4DAs (a new companion for Four, how could that not be exciting?!).

I've interpreted "resolved to buy" loosely, since I've pre-ordered.

I've interpreted "resolved to buy" loosely, since I've pre-ordered. Good. I didn't specify whether (this being a DW site) the cause had necessarily to precede the effect...
I've actually done this. Thinks: Oooh I must pre-order X before it's released...
Checks account, finds that I did pre-order X a while earlier...
Now people may think that's just my memory playing up but I put it down to temporal anomalies surrounding my credit card after spending so much on 'Doctor Who' with it.

Diary of River Song, The Fourth Doctor Adventures and the final The New Counter-Measures lead the back for me with the January Main Range coming up right behind.

River mostly, but also looking forward to the 4DA's and the 1DA's.
Countermeasure, it's never been my favourite range, rather it's a peaks and valleys thing for me. But I'm still really disappointed to see it go.

River Song is the top choice for me for this month. Partly I just love the range, but the debut of Missy and the Roberts Master at Big Finish is just too awesome. I'm excited to hear Four's new companion in the 4DAs, as well. More K-9 is *always* welcome, too. I really love the First Doctor Adventures, so that's a big one for me, too, especially with Carol Anne Ford in a mysterious role. The seldom used Kamelion making a splash this month should be interesting, and I'm delighted to see a Short Trip with the Brig front and center. What a month!
I hope we'll hear Eight get a rematch with the Roberts Master in the future . . .

4DA Season 8 Part 1 (New Companion, potential Old Enemy Recast and some enticing Guest Casts)
Diary of River Vol 5 (3 stories I'm excited for, 1 I'm cautious of)
1DA Vol 3 (The pervious 2 were surprisingly impressive, particularly the Historical's)
DW MR The Devil in the Mist (It will good to hear Mark Strickson back and intrigued as to how fleshed out John Culshaw can make Kamelion)
DW ST The Revisionists (The Brig's new steward finally makes an entry for in Show cannon)
Regards

So, Doctor Who releases this week?

and I haven't even heard the trailer. When egos collide! And River doesn't have all the Doctor's strict morals so the gloves will no doubt be off!
