Roy Hudd has sadly passed away, may have another listed to Pier Pressure tonight. Yes, it is a bit slow, but I'm developing a soft spot for Pier Pressure.

To be honest I forgot how terrible this was.

Huh... Apparently I voted this as 2/5 at some point, but I don't remember disliking it so much. Might have to go back and give it a re-listen shortly...

Yeah, it's really not good. I rated it as a 2/5 as well and try to avoid listening to it.

I’m in the “quite liked the first two episodes, actually” camp. When Sixie and Evelyn just chat like that, I could listen to it all day. They’re just that good, they really are. It’s not so much the story, it’s the atmosphere of being with them. Wonderful stuff.
I have to agree though with some of the comments above about things going a bit awry in parts 3 & 4. Still, on balance I’ll have fond memories of the best parts of this one. Not a classic perhaps, but I definitely will listen to it again at some point.

I don't have much to say about this one, after listening... it just kind of feels like a "generic Big Finish audio," if that makes sense. Enjoyable to listen to, but not a whole lot of depth to it. A decent adventure, but no more, with no real standout scenes or characters.
That said, I did find the villain kind of refreshing. I liked how, evil ghosts aside, he never really seemed like much of a bad guy.
But on the production end of things, I have to say: I really hated how this story starts with a bunch of previews for other stories. That crap should be left off at the end, where it can be safely ignored!

Well, I liked this one a lot more than most people, I suppose, probably due to Roy being in it as his favourite comedian. The plot was almost irrelevant other than being a vehicle for the actors. So glad I've got it so I can listen to him doing his thing whenever I want!
