Listened this week for the first time. Really good - I love this series. And I like the way it is starting to tie into the 4DA Sons of Kaldor. 3 excellent but very different episodes.
The 3rd and 4rth volumes can't come fast enough!
Minor pedantic points - David Richardson says in the extras that this was the first time Salem and Collings had reprised Toos and Poul. Not true - Collings appeared as Poul in Magic Bullet's Kaldor City series. (BF seem to have blind spot for the other Kaldor City series, their press release announcing the Further Adventures of Lucie Miller said that was the firs time the Fendahl had returned).
Also, as I said in my comments on vol 1, they have re-invented the Company as a Robotics company whereas I think in the original TV episodes it was mainly a mining company.

I LOVE this, I can't wait for series 3. It’s a series that has got progressively better am sure the climax will be an absolute belter.Just revisiting 2 just now. Given what we know of series 3 I thought I should go back over the previous episodes what has struck me listening to episode 2 there are so many distinctive vocal and a lot that have not been in BF before clicking on a name in the website sure helps with that lol i noticed I hadn’t made a comment lol...it was my time away from divergent |

The Magic Bullet Kaldor City series were quite interesting. It is unfortunate that they are largely ignored. When I started listening to "Do No Harm", I was thinking it was going to be about one of the robots in The Robots 1, but it quickly turned into something else. I was surprised by the Toos and Poul story, but it was quite enjoyable. I'll start Robots 3 later, but I see that is 2 Liv and Tula stories and 1 Toos and Poul. I guess they might try to do that with the other volumes. |

I found the first two stories very enjoyable, but it was only the final one that really knocked it out of the park and equalled the greatness of Set One. Just in case that sounds in any way negative, it isn't supposed to - The Robots is one of the best things BF are currently producing 'and may my bones rot' for not buying it sooner!
My favourite style of stories are those slow-burners that put a robot's viewpoint into a very human environment, and vice versa - but I realise not *every* story will wish to do that. That's fine: there has to be some variety, and it's never not a pleasure to hear from returnees Pamela Salem and David Collings.
Exceptional!

One of the BBC audios I bought in that big sale was the Corpse Marker audiobook read by David Collings. It will be interesting to see how that diverges with both Kaldor City and this Robots series. |

Finished listening to this tonight. Great selection of stories. As to Liv becoming a lawyer (of sorts) in one night, I'm beginning to think she can do anything.  |
