1.1 The Enemy Beyond by Andrew Smith
Ok so interesting first story i enjoyed having it set in Edinburgh it has a good pace ,yes Arches that are gateways are an old set up.Someone though at BF should start keeping track of how close together old Foes show up so close together as they kind of lose novelty value especially after having The Eleven so close to it.Not that its not Nice to have more of Mark(you know me-Less Is More )and you would never know it was a Lockdown recording.Am engaged with the story and now proceed to the next

1.2 Fire and Ice by John Dorney When Kate needs Harry Sullivan’s help with a threat from the Eleven, she and Osgood travel to Australia to meet him. He’s there with Naomi Cross, investigating footage of an apparent UFO crash that turned up on social media. They find themselves caught in the middle of a conflict between Ice Warriors. And one Ice Warrior isn’t so icy - in fact, he's red hot. And getting hotter...
No messing about with these tales....straight of the mark and into the action

Enjoying this. I've found past UNIT box sets to be a bit slow

Well that was quite an action packed tale and The Curator not mishandled and actually plays a significant part in the tale .Is it the best of UNIT who knows but it has relistenable value which is money i consider well spent.So will give it another spin at weekend.first thoughts though- Harry was so so,but i can live with it .Tracey Wiles (Jacqui McGee) comes off very very strongly so hopefully much more of her in the future sets.The Ice warriors on the other hand am not sure i didn’t get an oh wow vibe with them but like i said first listen.The Unit Team are good and for now in safe hands

He was supposed to be a little easter egg in the 50th NOT a recurring character. BF cannot help themselves can they.

Nope i like him in this & he was supposed to be retired! 11th Doc: "I'd be great at curating, I'd be "The Great Curator" ha-ha. I could...I could retire and be the curator of this place." BF: "I don't think so!"

BF: "I don't think so!"How does this imply the Curator is retired? The whole point is it's 11 saying he could eventually retire from saving the universe and become the Curator (which he eventually does). The Undergallery is still UNIT though, so if the Curator works there he still works for UNIT.

Well by the simple fact that 11 posited the idea that as the great curator he could retire and be the curator of this place, as he said...

They have, actually, in the Subscriber Short Trips story Tuesday, which is set in 2001, although it's only a line or two... where Harry mentions that some of his research has been misused to create some appalling weapons. Ah I see. I must admit the idea of Sullivan’s Gas never quite sat right with me. He might have had his faults but Harry Sullivan never struck me as the sort who would concoct such a weapon. Yes such a disrespectful way for Moffat to treat the character. Then again he did turn the Brigader's corpse into a cyberman.

Why spend my money on something that includes an idea I have no interest in. You must have too much spare cash to suggest such a thing. Go & buy all the Torchwood stuff!
