The epic prequel to the Dalek Universe saga arrives in April! Explore the full range of adventures here. I must admit I'm finding it difficult to get excited about Dalek Universe. Well I can see why people would be excited as it’s a three part continuing series for the tenth doctor with a big finish created companions rather than a returning tv companion so it feels like it’s something new for the tenth doctor I mean yeah it does have returning monsters such as Daleks, Movellans and Davros but I think that’s naturally going to be a selling point Daleks are marketable Despite the fact they have been overdone at big finish lately but I think it’s likely due to lockdown options for monsters

If people continue to enjoy these Dalek releases, then that's genuinely great; but for me, this is way beyond overkill. To think, Terry Nation was running out of things for the Daleks to do with The Chase in 1965! Thank you. If you get bored just looking at the box because they do nothing but shake their egg whisks and shout "Exterminate!", then that's genuinely great too, lol, but for me this hopes to be the return of and upgrade to the epic Dalek Empire, and the triumphant return for David Tennant to a Doctor Who audio range he is known for even before he became The Doctor. I also greatly enjoyed Dalek Empire for the wonderful guest cast, and Dalek Universe will be no exception, and probably the same concerning some great character work I imagine. Jane Slavin is a bit awesome, too. I don't happen to think there are a lot of people who weren't TV companions who could do two box sets with Tom Baker and get away with it, but those were really good.. I too really enjoyed Dalek Empire, and for reasons that went way beyond the Daleks shaking their egg whisks and shouting "Exterminate!" I love the Daleks, but simply feel overwhelmed by so many stories that continue to be released. For example, I am really enjoying audios like Colony of Death, Plight of the Pimpernel and The Grey Man of the Mountain partly because they are the kind of standalone adventures featuring original characters and situations that don't feature Daleks or massive story arcs. There's absolutely a place for that kind of adventure, but it just isn't for me at the moment.

At the time of posting they have forgotten to include Ravenous!
Also, and admittedly one could be pedantic and argue the other way, but should releases featuring the Nine and the Twelve not be in this Collection?

I’d say so myself. But maybe they’re waiting until more incarnations of the Eleven are properly introduced and then they’ll all be put under the same banner?

Wait...is Connie...smitten with the Eighth Doctor? Clearly she’s a fan of the Wild Bill Hickok look.

The end approaches Atleast we know who the companions are now Charley, Turlough and Constance Sadly they have the one off companion from the love craft invasion in it though Wonder if the 7th Doctor has a companion in this fingers crossed for Benny

This should really be a story for old friends, reunited. Every moment should be loaded with fond memories. Of all the releases in the 274, I'm amazed that was one of those they wanted to reconnect with at the end (of the Beginning.)
And I can't say I warmed to a money-grubbing bounty hunter as even a temporary companion. As a villain, maybe. But even then there have been much better, similarly amoral gun-toting characters in the MR before who I did like - Vienna or (better still imo) Sable, for example.
On the plus side, yay Charley, Turlough and that's Mrs. Clarke to us! 'Over-familiarity would not be appropriate.'
