I didn't even know Return Of the Krotons existed. A nice little surprise for me since I thought I had heard all of the Six and Charley stories.

I'd have bought these, but of course I've just splashed out on that Prisoner box so no sale for me lol. Cheers Tony |

Actually, I apparently don't own Return of the Krotons. I'll consider whether I want it or not.

Actually probably more than the 2nd Doctor episode (although admittedly that's not very hard) And I'l be contrary to that  It's really quite poor. Technobabble, very dull sci-fi tropes, an ending stolen from a classic novel and for no real reason, random references to Tom Baker stories. One of the worst Bonus Releases for me. |

I haven't been in a hurry to get it because I'm not a fan of the Krotons. But I'm sure I'll get it eventually, even if it isn't this weekend.

Well opinions will vary as they say but it's not like this is maligned like Dark Husband. Not saying it's my favorite release ever but I paid full price for it (because it wasn't included with the last 6/Charley sale) and didn't feel I was wasting my money. www.goodreads.com/book/show/6673301-doctor-who |

Ooh, I've gone and bought it on the basis of this - I love all the things you're quoting as reasons for disliking it. |

If you're going to buy something so mediocre, may as well do it when its cheap.  |

I have no regrets about having recently purchased the Six and Charley stories (including Return of the Krotons - I probably rather like random references to Tom Baker stories) :-) along with the first Charley box set at regular price. Don't know how anyone could go wrong on this sale.

Have to give this a miss. Spent too much already on bf this pay sadly. The main range ones I'm planning to get on a subscription anyway. The only thing I would get if I had the cash is series 1 and its not at a sale price so I can happily skip that

Got Condemned, Brotherhood of the Daleks, Raincloud Man and Return of the Krotons CDs. I got Patient Zero-Blue Forgotten Planet in a CD subscription end of 2014 and Doomwood Curse in the season 9 sale for Woman Who Lived.

It hasn't been been mentioned yet, but I believe the great Philip Madoc is the main participant during its retrospective interview. The price is right for completists to have a reason to strike. And like anything, you'll never know taste wise until trying it yourself. |
