Four new adventures featuring the Fifth Doctor and Turlough! The Memory Bank by Chris Chapman The Doctor and Turlough arrive on a planet where to be forgotten is to cease to exist. But the Forgotten leave a gap in the world – and that’s where the monsters are hiding. The Last Fairy Tale by Paul Magrs Deep in the heart of old Europe, the village of Vadhoc awaits the coming of a mythical teller of magical tales – but not all such stories end happily, the TARDIS travellers discover. Repeat Offender by Eddie Robson The Doctor has tracked the deadly Bratanian Shroud to 22nd century Reykjavík – where he’s about to become the victim of a serial criminal. Again. The Becoming by Ian Potter A young woman climbs a perilous mountain in search of her destiny. The Doctor and Turlough save her from the monsters on her trail – but what awaits them in the Cavern of Becoming is stranger, even, than the ravening Hungerers outside. Written By: Chris Chapman, Paul Magrs, Eddie Robson, Ian Potter Directed By: Helen Goldwyn CAST Peter Davison (The Doctor), Mark Strickson (Turlough), Suzann McLean (Max/Autumn Voice), Ian Brooker (Archivist/Computer/Elder), Mandi Symonds (Alitha/Inspector Jill Sveinsbottir) Duncan Wisbey (Grayling Frimlish/Shiri/Zounds), Kae Alexander (Waywalker) TBR October 2016

And yes, I am aware of the typo in the thread title. That's all the characters I'm allowed.

Four fun stories, I do like 5 + Turlough And after Chris Chapman's 'The Memory Bank', I'm looking forward to 'Rulebook', by another new BF writer, later this month Tony.

PDFs of the Scripts available for Subscribers
Good mix of stories and good pacey direction.
I particularly liked The Last Fairy Tale and Repeat Offender.

Just finished it. My favorite was between The Last Fairy Tale and Repeat Offender - The Last Fairy Tale had a lot of fun character moments, while I really loved the twist in Repeat Offender - but I also really enjoyed The Becoming.

I'm in the middle of The Last Fairy Tale and did Big Finish just canonize Killers in the Dark/The Killer Cats of Ghen Singh/whatever you call the story that The Invasion of Time replaced? I heard something about Ghen Singh and cats in there. Other than that, The Memory of Bank left me cold but I'm loving The Last Fairy Tale.

I heard something about Ghen Singh and cats in there. Really? Huh, that's rather neat. That was one of my favourite lost stories as a kid, I always liked the idea of humanoid cats native to Gallifrey who were one of the original aboriginal species. The other one was Fires of the Starmind which had a sentient star attempting to take over Gallifrey through their light-sensitive tomes hidden deep in the Capitol's libraries.

mmm...well, Memory Bank didn't do much for me.
Poll option not available: I run a continuous subscription to the MR, so, it was inevitable that I receive it....

So isn't there a bit of a problem with "Repeat Offender"? If future-Doctor goes back and defeats The Whatsit, changing history such that he doesn't die AND it doesn't do the things it does during the visit shown in the episode, then the Doctor will have interfered in his own past.
It's that one of the Prime No-Nos? (When future-him undoes the events that past-him went through and which we heard, that means the Whatsit is defeated, cannot frame past-him and cannot kill all the other people, therefore removing the reason for past-him to resolve to, once he becomes future-him, to go back and defeat the Whatsit......basic causal paradox).
It was the most interesting one thus far, but also the most flawed plot-wise. It's almost a new series grade error, unless I missed something obvious.
I guess the Fair Tale one was allright but not particularly compelling.

I haven't really dug into this yet, other than I listened to half of the first story and decided it was excellent and that I'm very glad I got it. Being I have some distractions at the minute it's hard to sit down to more of it, and meanwhile I'm kicking around the idea that if I could limit myself to one story a month, there could be new 5th Doctor & Turlough stories to listen to every month into next year. Dunno, that might be too much on top of pacing myself with Dark Shadows stories too but we'll see how it all works out.

I've only listened to Chris Chapman's Memory Bank so far and really enjoyed it. Lovely score, one of the most beautiful I've heard from BF in a long while. I liked the premise which felt like the kind of story that the audios told in the early days more than now. I was kinda hoping there wouldn't be a monster behind things but hey, can't have it all. Wonderful to hear Mark Strickson back - he really still manages to sound so young as Turlough.

My thoughts exactly really loved how the concept of memory of others was used here I just wish there wasn't a monster reveal at the end. Otherwise this was quite a powerful little story. And I am looking forward to more 5 & Turlough. As for the score just wait till you hear the latest Dorian release its beautiful.
