The Star Men
After a lively first half I found this story loses its focus a little in the latter, but its a consistently entertaining ride and gives Adric some nice material.

Today's one of them "celebratory" days for me, so a good time to treat myself... which means digging through my backlog for something I've been specifically saving for a special occassion.
Which usually just means something with David Warner or Paul McGann.
So: do I listen to one of the recent 8DAs, the last 8DTW, or am I finally ready to tackle Blood and Steel? Or do I revel in my weakness and indecision and just relisten to one of my old favorites, like Asking For A Friend or The Red Lady or Planet of Dust?

The most I rather enjoyed the e most recent EDA, but I think Cass was the stronger set. I’ve yet to listen beyond the first story of Blood and Steel, it was very good, quite dark. It honestly, I’m not sure I’m quite ready to let the unbound doctor go yet.

Listened to The Sixth Doctor and Peri Volume 1 (2020) a few days ago. Fun stories.

Just listened to Phobos, not a big fan. For what had so many intresting ideas, it didn't play around with any of them particularly the villain.

Finally got round to Buried Threats. Three nice, varied stories that would fare better with a more appropriate characterisation of the Doctor. A Theatre of Cruelty could be Nine’s Vincent and the Doctor if it wasn’t for the Doctor’s levity. The Running Men should be the perfect type of story for Nine, with the setting and we get positive glimmers with the poetry recital, digs at Cromwell, etc. but that doesn’t reflect overall. Ancient History has Benny get further with the Doctor than the Brigadier did, somewhat surprisingly, but with Eccleston reluctant to portray the role as he does on screen, these reunions are pointless affairs. Especially as Eccleston doesn’t portray it with any sort of familiarity, given he’s not a fan.

Been listening to some Counter-Measures: The Movellan Manoeuvre and The Dalek Gambit. That was quite a surprise ending. ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/6343532/images/ZBDvOFPmQgNwxFXLpuoD.gif)

Had a busy few days listening wise:
8DA: Phobos, No More Lies, Human Resources Parts 1 and 2.
Short trips: The Monkey house, Soul Music.
Subscriber specials: The Five companions.
The Five Companions was awful, felt like a first draft.
Phobos was bad, it needed its villian to be fleshed out more because the twist had little build up.
No More Lies was fine, but a bit dull.
Human Resources was amazing.
Monkeyhouse was a really fun little short trip.
Soul music was fine, but not something I can see myself wanting to go back to.

The Lives of Captain Jack Volume 2. I inadvertantly started with Volume 2 even though I haven't listened to Volume 1 yet. I suspect it doesn't matter.
Have listened to the first story so far, Piece of Mind. Took me a bit to get into it, but enjoyed it in the end.

Goth Opera and Torchwood Soho : Ascension since I can't listen to Operation Werewolf. Both box sets were really good.
