Surprised there are no posts here about last night's premiere. Did no one listen to it?
Don't like ot be a doom and gloom merchant, but it doesn't bode well for the sales figures if even us DUers aren't very enthusiastic . . . .
I'm getting it myself, but I won't listen until the CDs arrive so I didn't listen last night

I have no interest in this at all. Have never seen the original show & the cover art is awful. Looks really cheap & amateur.

It seemed reasonably popular on Twitter. I imagine given the fact there was a live Tweetalong, the majority of posts will have been there.

Still in the 'intrigued but undecided' camp, so have downloaded part 1 for a listen this weekend as I was working during the livestreaming yesterday.

Hello again.
Well, I watched the groovy graphics and listened to episode 1 of Timeslip on YouTube. I loved the Big Finish spin on the old ATV logo.
Timeslip is a programme of its time. It was concerned with real scientific worries like Doomwatch. It also had that mistrust of government ministeries and scientists up to no good. The fun bit was that the time travel element was even more unreliable than the TARDIS.
Andrew Smith has recreated the earnest nature of the original and bringing in two younger time travellers is a good idea. For a first episode it was fine. Also glad they kept the original creepy theme music.

Listened to the first two eps this morning. I enjoyed a good deal.
I have no background in the series at all, so there is no nostalgia aspect for me (although tone wise you can see its roots as a kids series).

As someone with 0 experience with this series before, this might be one of the best BF releases ever. Everything about this was just outstanding. Do we have to wait a month for number 2?

Heard the whole story in one sitting, absolutely brilliant. There's something to be said for having more longer, 3 hour stories at Big Finish. Explored complex issues with depth (though I think there could've been perhaps a bit more of a look of the future society, though understandably they had to spend time establishing the characters etc). Hope there's more after next months!

I finally made a start on the TV version a week ago and have just reached the halfway point. It's a surprisingly captivating children's drama with some quite adult moments and interesting concepts with regards to the future. 1990 wasn't going to be a bed of roses by any means! The first two stories are quite pacey and the regular cast all get plenty to do. It's interesting the synchronicity one sometimes gets in one's entertainment. I listened to Scorched Earth and watched The Wrong End of Time simultaneously; two 'Germans weren't all bad' stories released fifty years apart!
Three episodes into The Year of the Burn Up and it's looking like another cracker. If you're a fan of archive television of this decade it sits quite happily with The Tomorrow People and Children of the Stones and more than deserves to be remembered fondly.
The Big Finish sets are an inevitability I imagine...

im not sure what to make of this, i don't want to be negative but struggling to find too many positives......
it should work, all the elements for it too are there, but it doesn't
certainly not up to big finish's usual quality the whole thing feels like a Fan made production, the story was uninspired and did little to grab me and pull me in, Sarah Sutton who we know can act gave a performance that felt wooden and life less, i think from listening to the extras that the leads hadn't acted in a while and sorry but it showed.
and its too long for the story to tell, it needed to grab me and whirl me along instead it plodded.
i want to give some positives setting in crystal palace was inspired......(but trouble with that was i wanted them to stay there and not venture into some dreary future London lol) its a great concept and deserves to continue but faster paced please until ep 2 is out and listened too i will hold the jurys decesion........but on first one not looking good
