Does the Curator actually add anything to this story or is it just more Stranded-style vague portentousness? He has much more of a bigger role in the UNIT Story and is better used here than in Stranded He even has a sword fight with The 11 Sold.

I’m so happy UNIT is back. Of all the Nu Series spin-offs, UNIT has always struck me as the strongest because it is the most ensemble based. Adding in Harry & Naomi just increases the character options. Having The Curator present makes much more sense as opposed to his appearances in Stranded. Added points for a sword fight inside a painting. And every time I see Mark Bonnar appearing as the Eleven I roll my eyes but then I listen to the story and I’m okay with it. Anyway, a good start to a new cycle of stories.

Started on this. Very enjoyable. Engaging story, the Eleven is used well. I also liked the Ice Warriors in Australia bit, however, I think that story would have even been better if it had more room to breathe and had been longer, maybe a two parter.

Are these new 4 box sets going to be linked to each other or is each box set a 4 part self contained story?

Finished listening to this release. I really liked it. More so than several of the previous UNIT stories. UNIT has always been pretty much hit and miss with me. But this one? We have some really great ideas and real spark of creativity. The Eleven is used perfectly, he is a intimitating threat, clever, uncontrollable, deadly. He never slips into annoying territory, like he sometimes did in other releases. The pacing is great, sound design and effects are great. There is just one hickup that broke immersion for me, but it is something that could not have been done another way just by the nature of the recording.
{Spoiler}
And that was the sword fight scene between the Curator and the Eleven. It just did not sound like the Curator was even in the fight, just himself watching on, while someone else was doing the sword noises. Which was pretty much exactly what was going on- Tom Baker performing his lines, but not jumping about wielding a sword-stick. Mark Bonnar did put some effort in his fight lines, and his half of it was kind of sold, but hearing Tom... recorded while being seated.... gave the game away. It just sounded flat and not like the usual BF action sequence. It broke immersion for me. But I am aware there was no other way of doing this of course.
Otherwise, some clever ideas, great pacing, perfect performances. Kate and Osgood were fantastic. I loved the last story, featuring the Undergallery, the hidden traps, harking back to the Time Lord paintings we see in Day of The Doctor. I also really liked the Curator in this, and yes! that epic fight between him and the Eleven, the idea is pure gold. The Curator is used well, he keeps his mystique, not even Osgood suspects anything (I bet he is wearing a perception filter! It is Osgood, after all, she otherwise would have him figured out in no time).
Very good release, I am very much looking forward to the next one. Curious to find out more about where this is going and who the adversary is.
EDIT: How to use the Spoiler tags on this forum just drives me bananas.
