Good point regarding Banks casting, especially when you consider Nick got a bit hot under the collar about Caroline Morris playing Erimem. I agree it was quite unbelievable even at the time. And if I recall correctly (and it's very possible I don't) Briggs made those comments about Morris around then; it was also when Sophie Aldred was cast as Chinese girl Lila in The Avengers ( Brought to Book released in January 2014) which also stood out as a extraordinary decision. It wouldn't have been an issue if Erimem had been a white Eqyptian, who, according to experts, where around in the time of the Pharaohs. However its pretty clear in the stories she is a POC. As for the Aldred casting, yes it was pretty ridiculous considering the amount of young Asian actors available.

Hello. I've purchased 'Classic Doctors, New Monsters' - Volume 2 today. Would it surprise anyone that I have all of the Fifth Doctor audios on offer via the 'Doctor Who Returns' sale? Tim.

Only one that kind of stuck out to me was Brood of Erys. So I went with that.

A Town Called Fortune.....a CC I don't have digitally! I apparently also didn't have it. Also didn't have Beyond The Ultimate Adventure. So I bought that, too, for better or worse.

I am a HUGE fan of Colin. But even I do not dare to go there. I have not even dared going near the Ultimate Adventure since it comes with a warning sign about "Caution, HOT 80s cheese".

I bought The Ultimate Adventure on a serious discount, so figured I might as well go "Beyond" The Ultimate Adventure.

There is a gap at the top end of my Monthly Adventures collection just waiting to be filled by A Life of Crime, Fiesta of the Damned and Maker of Demons, so they are all definites. Just have to see if I can scrape together enough pennies for the New Adventures Vol 1 before Sunday..

How's that New Adventures set? I have the novel adaptations with that crew but haven't got round to listening yet.

The second story is dreadful. The other three are all enjoyable if a little unremarkable.

Alright, thanks all! Seems pretty positive on the NA set. I'll see what I can find in the couch cushions, then.
