there is something cosy about Bernice and Warner’s Doctor it was defintely one of the highlights during the time away from the forums and being on the first story they just gel together these two with the loss of Jago and Litefoot they are a definite go to team
the last few moments between Bernice and the Doctor-i felt as if someone had been peeking into my life for the last year hahah.Great first story to kick off the box set

Well two stories in and this is already a great start and from reading it was from one of the Divergents own....Congratulations mate

I am laughing as listening to the extras they congratulate an actress on it being her FIRST big finish.....because i was feeling a lot on listening before i left if you are related or married or connected some way you will definitely get a role in the future🤭🤭

Story 3 it may be my fave quote yet ‘are you talking to your yeast?”
Inertia most fun I have had in months cheers Mr Goss. Well I will stop on the Cliffhanger of Episode 3 most enjoyable BF listen through in months tbh....
The banter between the two regulars is just brilliant and looking back now to 8DA- Stranded....it needed banter like this to save it

Just came home, downloading now. If this is even half as good as I hope it is, it will be my release of the year. I just absolutely LOVE this range.

Just finished listening to J.A. Prentice 's The Undying Truth... loved it. Absolutely loved it. Truly one of the best Benny/Unbound Doctor audios I've ever heard. With that said, I already have my fingers crossed for BF to add the script and original submission into our accounts! Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Thanks! (And welcome back!) I was supposed to be on the extras but the scheduling didn't work out, which is a shame for me, though the listeners were all spared me stumbling to put together a coherent sentence.

Just started with this and finished the first story.
What I really love about this range is the variety, the interesting, different and clever plots and settings. Every single one of the Benny + Unbound Doctor stories was very intelligent and had a deeper message to it. Some of these stories even drift off into the philosophical.
This is why I really loved "have I told you lately". It was a very philosophical take on language and communication. What is said, what is not said, how is it said... Plus, it was a fun story, with lots of humor and some creepy atmosphere. THIS is why I listen to Big Finish. THIS is the type of story I am after.
There is no "Dalek go boom!" in this. And to be honest, I am tired and over that type of story. Luckily, with this range we got something else.
Plus, I just love the characters of Benny and the grumpy Doctor. They work fantastically together and are played perfectly by Lisa and David Warner.

I'm just blown away by the production on my story. Everything (acting, music, sound design) really elevated my script. I was hoping it would sound as good as it did in my head and it ended up sounding better.

(And a very gentle reminder to listeners that, if you like his stuff here, be sure to check out his short stories on Divergent Wordsmiths. He's good no matter the medium. )

A sign of a good box set...am itching for the last episode that hasn’t happened since Ravenous sets.Do not know why I was left truly uninspired by Stranded 1. I like the way episode 3 ended...but I shall be true to myself and hold off for the weekend listen down the gym .
Team these guys up put the, on the telly...I know I would definitely watch them both in action and spin them off out of THIS universe where we can start afresh

Poll added ! Just finished Have I Told You Lately, congrats to Tim Foley. I thought it was excellent, probably my favorite since Asking for a Friend. By the way, welcome back causality, it's good to have you back.

Well this has been a reinvigorating box set for me and a worthy finale to a very fine set of stories...yes I know I promised I wouldn’t listen to the whole last episode but once it started I was hooked and every story in this set had that same effect...there was no “I will leave it to later on “ story among them.No spoilers to the inspired who brought These two characters together,my gratitude this is Bernice/Doctor Who my style...where do we go from here?Who cares....just hurry up and write them lol

The Undying Truth was nice. Nothing groundbreaking, but quite an enjoyable Base Under Siege. As per usual, the chemistry between Bowerman et Warner truly elevates the script.

Finished the Undying. Again, very interesting story. I thought it was very clever and the use of the „Big Bad“ was not as heavy handed as it was in the recent Torchwood Soho. Definitely a different species. Loved how this started out as a creepy horror tale and even through a few twists in there with a nice subversion of expectations. Also, the interaction of the characters was great and we get another great exploration of the relationship between Benny and the Unbound Doctor. So yes, very well done. Plus, it managed to get my mind off thing for a bit, so added bonus.
So half-way in, and my expectations have not been disappointed. This really is one of my favorite BF ranges. Just because of the great writing, the clever and deep stories and the wonderful characterization. Plus Benny and the Unbound Doctor are perfect as the old bickering couple.
