Yes, they mention recording season 8 in the extras. Awesome. Have not made it to the extras yet. Have they said anything about the angle they will do next time?
No just some recoding had bad been done already due to scheduling around Alex's availability. Regards mark687

Well roll on set 8 but to cheer me up in the meantime those shiny little discs just arrived this morning in their individual covers-Bet you next set will go the way of the War Master and others -which am not complaining in least as long as the quality of story telling remains high

But for some reason having the discs with all individual cases and covers will be to expensive to continue...

River Song meets K9, Kamelion, Handles & the robot Master from Scream of the Shalka. Well hopefully fandom will be satisfied with her appearance in his range. I hope there’s no SQUEE moments in the next set but a straightforward Alex with more dramatic/ comedic moments. I think she does glam so well, Hollywood is a must ,Sunset Boulevard style.Cambridge spies stuff.Trans-Siberian trains,Orient Express,The Nile...River is glamourous,sophisticated stylish Professor/slightly psycho /detective loads of room to manoeuvre But like we said before keep the Doctors away...the Daleks (more metal)

I agree that the barrister story was the most fun of the set, and the first two had their moments, but the final angels story was deeply disappointing.
I understand that they are a problematic monster to portray on audio, but Big Finish have already proved with their first story with the Fifth Doctor that they can work and work really well on audio.
Overall I would rate this set the least enjoyable Diary of River Song set for me.

Just finished the set including interviews today. It was lots of fun and I am looking forward to hearing more. I was slightly disappointed that the 4 stories were only related in type (mysteries) and had no story connections, but it was still thoroughly enjoyable.

I listened to this a day or two ago.
Colony of Strangers was an interesting story, though it did take a while for me to follow what was going on, and the accent of the policeman was so forced and grating it took me right out of the story.
Abby of Heretics was a good story with a nice twist at the end.
I found Barrister to the Stars amusing.
Carnival of Angels was a good story, but again the bad accents were distracting.
Overall, I really enjoyed the set, in spite of the bad accents.
