Are the 4th Doctor Short Trips on sale as well? That is about the only thing 4 related that I don't have a complete set of. Not unfortunately but I would think there would be an ST Sale in a few weeks

I'm sure he probably does. Every now & then I think about what BF would have looked liked if Tom were there at the beginning. A Main Range featuring Doctors 4, 5, 6, 7 and eventually 8. I wonder would we through have had Sarah reintroduced to the same effect though in Tennants Stories?If she had been part of Tom and Big Finish. It's a bittersweet thing that Liz Sladen was on-board at a time that she had no Doctor to spar alongside at BF towers. Granted we got the very good Sarah Jane Smith series, but it was an added poignancy to her premature passing that it coincided with Tom Baker coming in from the cold at the same time. I gather it was hoped and indeed planned that she would be alongside him in the first series of Fourth Doctor Adventures. For all the joy of seeing a childhood hero (Sarah) return on TV after 30 years unchanged, it was very sad (in a selfish way i suppose, her demise makes such things a trifle insignificant) that the quintessential Doctor & Companion pairing (Jamie was essentially of a trio) was never recaptured on Audio. She had a longer run than most TV Doctors and is perhaps more fondly remembered by many of a certain age.

Oh never forgotten remember the day she left the Tardis and thought oh my there goes another wee part of my comfort zone another part of my life.

I believe the first Tom Baker season would have featured Lis, Nick, Louise and Mary. It was going to go from era to era, unlike what we're used to from the Tom Baker seasons as actually happened.

Interesting idea. I had assumed that it would have been the pair of them. Nick is another tantalising reunion we never heard. Seeing Tom turn up to an Interview with an ailing Nick Courtney on one of the DVD releases was very touching, given that Nick found Tom rather distant working on Terror of the Zygons, from his debut. They clearly became good friends, and Nick had one of the most convivial narrative voices to come close to Tom Baker himself. So much of what could have been, but missed for good.

If any of you have been skipping the Philip Hinchcliffe release due to its price, this is a great chance to pick it up. Solid stories, and sales prices don't get much better than this. you can get the download cheaper on humble bundle right now. 15 bucks

oh man so many i want. i think we should start a class action against big finish to make them stop with all the sales.
i am definitely getting the well mannered war because my darling is in it.
i was looking at a few that looked like might be good scary stories. the last colophon has that creepy nurse on the cover i have to get it. how spooky are the cloisters of terror? the labyrinth of buda castle? the darkness of
glass?

I think Buda Castle is the best of the bunch and I do remember liking The Cloisters of Terror.

Deffo getting trouble with drax, wanted that since it was first announced way back when. Also think i will get death match as i already have listend to requiuem (which was really good from what i remember). After that i want to get a gothic story, torn between the same three kurumais mentioned. Leaning towards darkness of glass though because of leela.

I don't know why I get cheap when it comes to that range.

I think Buda Castle is the best of the bunch and I do remember liking The Cloisters of Terror.Seconded. Very good spooky first half, the inevitable 'scientific explanation' second half was also good and exciting too.
I also like 'The Darkness of Glass' very much, a classics-inspired ghost story with excellent sound design and great Leela action scenes. Listen in the dark for full effect...

I liked both Last of the Colophon and Darkness of Glass and Buda is good .Darkness of Glass is a great story on a wet windy evening.Am a sucker for islolated siege stories.
