The Guardians of Prophecy.
Okay, my favourite scene in the story might just be the Doctor arguing his way out of the "Forbidden Zone" problem. Follow me on this journey. It is stated unilaterally, in the law, that anyone who is found within this area is to be executed. No exceptions. Following the chain of evidence, it is established that the Doctor is found in said zone by the arresting officer, who... was in the zone when he made the discovery. No excuses, as the law says, anyone found is to be killed. So, the Doctor points out, if he's to die, then the Commander must die as well. What makes it truly great is, among the flustered backpedaling, some of the Elect actually go for it and ponder the idea of executing them both.
The kicker is the Doctor's remark at the decision for a tie-breaker: The Lost Stories are filled with unexpected zingers. Often there's a real joy in the dialogue for the Doctor and Peri especially.

The Acheron Pulse (Rick Briggs)
I’ve said before and I’ll say it again, this really is an underrated piece.

Now you have What did you think? Regards mark687 I have heard the 2nd and 3rd, but in the wrong order.. I am a good 25 mins into the 3rd and re-remembering everything. I have to say there is a LOT going on in these 3 stories.

Time Apart Totally unnecessary to the Fifth Doctor’s ongoing arc, but they’re still four pretty good stories, so that makes up for it overall I think. I still might have preferred a few more reminders that, y’know, the Doctor’s basically abandoned his friends and he should be feeling pretty guilty about doing so but it’s not a total dealbreaker. My favorite stories were the first two - Ghost Station and The Bridge Master. I also listened to The Glorious Revolution last night. It’s not one of my favorites like it is for some, but I’d still call it one of the highlights of perhaps Big Finish’s most underrated ranges.

The Tyrants of Logic (Marc Platt)
A really solid Cyberman story for the Third Doctor. Discounting the admittedly excellent Companion Chronicle for the moment, this is actually a very good introduction when it comes to Third Doctor/Cybermen stories.

The Toy (Nigel Fairs)
I find this a particularly odd story. Even for a Short Trips.

Trap for Fools (Stephen Fewell)
Very entertaining. And I’m surprised at how good a narrator Mark Strickson makes.

I started Year of The Pig. One of the oddest stories in the Main Range.

Prisoners of the Lake (Justin Richards)
Controversial opinion, maybe, but I wouldn’t mind had they kept the narration for future Third Doctor Adventures going forward.
