Don't think it's been mentioned much if at all but I loved the casting of Nina Toussaint-White as The Second Brook. When it's revealed she's genetically based on River, how clever to cast the woman who of course played River's previous self, Mels in Let's Kill Hitler.

Do you have any other such recommendations with him? I haven't listened to a lot with him yet, still relatively new to the whole audio thing.  AND YOU WILL OBEY ME: A nice little story that requires no context other than the knowledge that the doc is meeting an incarnation of the Master out of sequence (Beevers.) CLASSIC DOCTORS NEW MONSTERS VOL. 1: Fallen Angels is another fun romp you can jump right into, and it features one of the better appearences of the Angels. The entire box-set is worth it. THE PETERLOO MASSACRE: Historical. Nuff said! THE EMERALD TIGER: Personal favorite of mine that takes place in India. Great atmosphere. I have the Classic Doctors, new monsters.  Awesome idea, to mix the old with the new, and it's just generally cool to see other incarnations meeting up with the new aliens, it makes the whole DW universe more immersive! ^^ Liked the Weeping angel story, just wonder how strong the angels really are - easily surviving a fall from the top of the Sixtus chapel? I thought they would break. :!
But by far my favourite was Eight with the sontarans - which was a really nice surprise, the sontarans being one of my least favourite races (and even though that hasn't really changed with this story, the Time War setting made it awesome).
Going to check out the rest too. ^^

T his was a great box set not a bad story in it.I think this will be the one to persuade my sisters to succumb to big finish . |

This is one of those ranges where the latest release is an improvement over the one before it. Let's hope next month's box set continues the trend.

Agree with you there, I’ve loved the range since it started, but it just gets better and better. Can’t wait for Series 4!

Hmmm.... I somehow liked the second box set best so far, I thought Six and River were great together. But I am certainly looking forward to this one, even more so after the trailer...

I mostly listen to the trailers when I am looking forward to the release (I am not known for my patience)... although, in a few cases, the trailer made me buy something I first was not interested in (the Eleventh Doctor Chronicles comes to mind, went from not interested to actually really enjoying it). |

Well thats how they are designed.I just think I may listen and decide not to get it so i go by instinct of what the episode blurb tells me. |

I finally got around to this. Boy oh boy. The first two parts barely captured me at all but the last half? Two of the best hours of Big Finish I can remember hearing.

Loved hearing this set recently. It's fun and timey whimey, but then it hits you with the emotional stuff that is surprisingly complex and weighty. The most emotionally satisfying of River's team ups with the Doctor at Big Finish.

MY DINNER WITH ANDREW- what can I say definitely my favourite along with James Goss Story Colony of Strangers from Vol 7
The Maitre’D and Davison’s comic turn in it just a delight to hear I like a story that I know I can get fun out of amongst the Doctors more serious exploits ...it has it all really River,Doctor,Kovarian not overly used but to have so many great characterisations in one story is lovely and even River is as ruthless as she can be .Kovarian,Frances Barber really has a voice made for audio too and no reason she shouldn’t be in more stories now that we are at season 8 it would be nice to hear more from her and River
