Is this in two CD jewel cases or a double CD case, i need to know to space out my collection. It says on the technical details page that it's 4-disc CD Jewel case, so I'd imagine it'll be like the other six disc releases like Masters of Luxor and Lords of the Red Planet, or the Bloodlust CD cases for Dark Shadows.

I like those cases but they dont always slot in the CD racks, so I'll have to incorporate a bit of jiggery pokery.

Well that was particularly good.
Pacey but at the same time detailed, Tom's on fire (particularly in EP 4). Louise Jameson back with a straight forward but at the same time rich and enthused performance which I've been missing from the companion in the 4DA's this year .
Jon Culshaw dose his John Major, the energy of Veron Dobtcheff stunning in fact all the guest cast do a great job.
The relationship sub-plots work and their not too slushy.
Hurry up Vol 3
Regards

This is certainly on my top priority "to listen list" ... as soon as I get chance to listen to anything that is.
Cheers

I was not prepared for how crowded this story was, especially for a six-parter. I confess, I lost track of the plot and characters by the middle. It might be my own fault - I was listening to it between my morning routine and walking to classes, so I'm planning on giving this another listen when I have three hours to kill - that'll probably be the end of the week.
Still, Tom was great as usual and there was some pretty nice bits of dialogue for both Leela and the Doctor. The music suite was nice as well - not quite as gorgeous as Benny Unbound's, but there were several moments throughout the story where I think the music stood out as particularly great.

I am listening to the first Philip Hinchcliffe set at the moment and having the same trouble.

After those first couple of listens, it was really easy and enjoyable to listen to.

I'll need to give it another listen myself even though I tried to pick a time to listen when I could give it a reasonable amount of attention - indeed, it is quite an eventful story. Very well written, directed, engineered and performed obviously. I'm still surprised that the story seemed to succeed so well at making some of the supporting characters seem important, and focusing on affections without seeming gratuitous, even while also being an interesting science fiction story and a riveting drama. I'm sure the performers deserve some credit for that also. Nice to see it proved again how fresh a classic sort of tale can still be.

Man, I loved this. It was packed full of story and nothing felt superficial. I sometime feel that the frivolous nature of Tom's Doctor is too heavy-handed in his own range, but here it was balance nicely with his seriousness and you could really feel the gravity of the situation. Every character was used extremely well and the relationships and history of the colony were well established. This is my favorite of the Hinchcliffe stories and one of my favorite BF, or any, 4th Doctor stories.

I have the very same issue, so looking forward to hearing this if it's toned down a bit. Cheers Tony

Hello,
This post is for those that might wonder if this is just another story or if it is a "Story."
The Genesis Chamber is smart! It is smart as classic Doctor Who can be, but even more so, it tastes of something new.
The story is dense. This is what I want to bring to the forefront. If you just want a nice by the numbers epic sci-fi alien invasion story you have it.
Yet, that isn't what the story is about. The story is all about a study of various relationships: love, forbidden friends, aliens, aliens among aliens, family secrets, father and son, tale of two cities, eugenics, utopia/dystopia, ecology dependency, technological dependency, god...
Genesis is more then just a nod to a classic Doctor story, but a metaphor to a new creation story, with the Doctor involved in a new trinity playing old myths. The fallen. The wayward. The faithful. The deceiver. The creator. The...
Good stuff!
