She was in Zagreus with Eight. She’s also met Two in Dumb Waiter and (briefly) interacted with Ten in Collision Course. Thank you, I thought I had forgotten some stories. So she still has meetings with the First and the Seventh Doctors to complete her classic Who collection. Surely she met all Eight in Collision Course? |

Query regarding Leela I know she has had adventures with the Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Doctors. Plus the War Doctor Has she had any stories with the Seventh Doctor and the Eighth Doctor? I feel like I am forgetting something!? Probably easier to ask what she hasn't been in, talk about over kill ! |

Life is strange. You speculate one day over the lack of a second Fifth Doctor boxset and Big Finish's intent to release one..and the very next day an announcement for a second Fifth Doctor boxset appears.
Anyhow...Wicked Sisters. While it's presence on my ridiculously long wish list is assured, I may need to refresh my memory about Abby and Zara first before I add it to the backlog. Pretty sure I have all of the Key 2 Time trilogy on file somewhere, so probably a good place to start.
Of course, if someone in Big Finish towers (hi Sue!) feels the need to put the Graceless boxsets in a sale at any point between now and November I'm sure I could be persuaded to take a look at those as well....😊

I feel like I am forgetting something!? Probably easier to ask what she hasn't been in, talk about over kill ! That's how I feel about Leela - no problem with character or actress per se - but bored to tears and wish BF could start using a different companion as their go-to guest star. Every time Leela is overused it means another companion/character is underused and underdeveloped. They seem determined to crowbar Leela in to every range with every Doctor.
I wouldn't want to say anything negative about Leela or Louise, but it is possible to have too much of a good thing. Especially when it comes at the expense of other good characters and actors who end up underused.
Would it really have killed them to use another character like Romana, Rasmus, Padrac, Narvin, Vansell, etc? As I said on the future of the 3DA thread yesterday, a change is as good as a rest.
It's hard to avoid the conclusion that BF's creative decisions are based around who they want to work with over and above any other criteria - a sort of cronyism in other words.
That aside, I am looking forward to this release and will definitely be getting it

I think they could pair up Leela with David Bradley's First Doctor.
"What you need young girl is a jolly good smacked......aaaaggghhhh! Susan! Barbara! Ian! .....help!!"
(voice-over) "..and now, Introducing Reece Shearsmith in the 'Second Doctor Adventures' with BF, following that unexpected and somewhat premature regeneration of the First Doctor."

(And while she hasn't crossed paths with Sylvester on audio, Lungbarrow includes a meeting between the Seventh Doctor and Leela.) |

You broadly hint that a sale on the Graceless boxsets would be rather nice..and the very next day an announcement for a sale featuring the Graceless boxsets appears. So purely on the basis of this level of coincidence, the temptation to start a thread with my personal choices for tomorrow night's Euromillions draw is now really, really high....😋 |

Re-listened to Graceless I - IV in readiness for this. The closing dialogue in the last 5 mins of IV really sets up this boxset - with hindsight it was a very obvious and explicit pointer to a further meeting with the Doctor that we all either missed at the time or had forgotten about
I don't think its a spoiler if I say that a character gives the girls a prophecy that they will meet the Dr again - and basically describes the premise of this new box set.

I just did not enjoy the Graceless sets at all I really struggled with them I just could not engage at all so am thinking unless it gets rave reviews I just will not be buying and am running out of wall space too lol |

I have not listened to Graceless and I found the Main Range releases with the Sister to be underwhelming to say the least. On the plus side- this new box set cannot feasibly get any worse than that because we would be reaching Exile levels of bad by then...  |

I've been sitting on the Graceless series (and Vienna) since a warehouse sale 2 or 3 years ago but not worked up the enthusiasm for them yet! Guess I should get them out the way before this comes out...

Oh I love the Graceless sets, they're such a departure from anything Who-ey. Really interested to see how Wicked Sisters strikes a balance between the very airy light tone of the original Monthly Range trilogy and the really bleak world of their spin-off series.

Which reminds me I really must locate those 'Key2Time' CDs and visit that part of my backlog in the next few weeks.
Now, where are they hiding...? The strange statue of the Taran Wood Beast? The sausage sandwich? Whatever it is that makes the squelching sound under the boggy patch at the bottom of the garden? The quest starts here...
