(Thanks for the thread. I do like a poll!)

The best month was the first: January.

I loved the first volume of 'Adam Adamant Lives!'

'The Diary of River Song 7' is still my favourite volume in her series.

'Torchwood: The Sins of Captain John' was unique, very funny and left the fourth wall in ruins!

And the 4DAs Vol 9.1 was the Fourth Doctor Adventures on top form with two great stories and the feel of S18 absolutely nailed.

Four amazing box sets and I liked MR 'Dark Universe' too - one day we'll maybe even get the explanations...

'Number 13' is a classic ghost story by M.R.James, known to his many fans as - The Master!

For me looking back, it would be February. My purchases included:

Dracula’s Guest - an excellent set-up for the trilogy.

Doctor Who: The Psychic Circus - liked the story, loved the Master. What a pity we probably won't be hearing much more from this incarnation.

Doctor Who: Planet of the Witches & The Quest of the Engineer - the least and best of the wondrous second Fourth Doctor adventure series set in E-Space.

Torchwood: Dissected - Freema's long-awaited debut at BF, and it doesn't disappoint.

Blake’s 7: Restoration Part 3 - the end of the end of the Blake's 7 full casts. That final episode in particular, is a corker.

tough choice as each month seems roughly equally good
Finally decided on April with February and July very closely behind

(so hard to choose between them I ultimately picked the one no-one else had yet voted for)
