MR: Medicinal Purposes. I'm about half way through and I'm not quite sure I like it...or dislike it. It has the Robert Ross signature though, where the various characters talk..and talk..and talk. I'm still not sure why the Doctor is so curious about William Burke or what mystery he is pursuing, I must have missed something.
I was going to tackle Pier Pressure again later (which I do quite like in a very slow kind of way) but I'm not sure my brain can take it.

Now on to Pathfinder Legends: 1.1. Burnt Offerings. This isn't exactly deep stuff and I'm not convinced lengthy sword fights translate too well on audio, but as I've bought series 1 and 2 I'm determined to give them a go. I thought I'd guessed who the baddie was but that seems to have gone out the window, so there is that.

I may be on a minority list with his three tales but I really enjoyed them Medicinal perhaps a bit of Scottish bias and my last listen of it was indeed on a week break in Edinburgh walking the empty streets in the rain...now talk about atmosphere lol...I had never seen Edinburgh so empty a bit like my trip to Venice (where I didn’t listen to Stones of Venice 😂)

I've been tending to listen to Audiobooks on long (1 hour +) bus journeys but, because of Covid I've being using less public transport so have fallen behind. Time to start catching up

Well, I've finally listened to the last of the Jago & Litefoot stories. Over the long weekend, I finished off listening to Jago & Litefoot Forever and The Jago & Litefoot Revival.
I'm not crying, you're crying.
(I still do have Benjamin & Baxter to listen to, so one last bit of their voices together.)

I've been putting off finishing the series for a while now, but I think it's finally time. Sounds like I might need a tissue or two on standby though...

A very good political thriller.

I finished my listen through with Regeneration Impossible for both 11 and 12. Now listening to UNIT: Dominion. I love this one, and it's been years since I've heard it. Too bad we never got more Raine. It's a shame.

Over the weekend I listened to 'Relative Dimensions' and 'Prisoner Of The Sun', which I both enjoyed (though, even at 48-odd minutes, I will say that 'Prisoner' did feel to drag slightly in the second half...).

Over the last 2 days it's been UNIT: Dominion. It's been way too long since I've heard this one. It really is one of the best, most surreal things BF has ever done. {Spoiler} Can anything surpass The Master pretending to be the Doctor, riding a giant flying baby head and blowing away giant lava spiders with hurricane force winds? I say no! The behind the scenes content was very good. A few thoughts/questions that popped into my head while listening. - I've said this many times over the past few years, but boy do I miss Alex McQueen as the Master! Yes, we've been spoiled for Master material, but I still miss hearing that silky voice saying "Hello, you." -Jason Arnopp is the co-writer of this. Has he written anything else for BF? And if not, why not??? This is an amazing story! I would love to hear more from him. -Raine, Raine go away, come again another day! But she didn't! Nick talks about having the opportunity for more Raine stories and it's too bad it didn't happen. I know that there is some talk about Cartmel not releasing the character for more stories, but that doesn't change the fact that it was a missed opportunity. - Tracey Childs pines for more UNIT stories. I wish they would use Klein in at least one modern day UNIT release. It could be wonderful.

I wish they would use Klein in at least one modern day UNIT release. It could be wonderful. Jason did Army Of Death part of the Mary Shelley 8th Doctor Trilogy,Demons of Red Lodge for the 5th Doc and The Lions of Trafalgar for the Short Trips So he has his credentials.Not releasing Raine haven’t heard that but since they are using a similar character in Lady Christina they might not want to spoil that(though I haven’t succumbed)...I had trouble with the River/Bennie but they managed that successfully all of new who seemed to rip off old who (IMO) paternoster-Jago Litefoot .Christina-Raine Torchwood-Unit/countermeasures etc etc. As for more Klein-I have to relisten to Warlock but I would say was a tremendous waste of the Character given how much I love UNIT Dominion and her other inclusions
