I thought they were really sneaky with the tease of Eleven in the trailer. That one line is the only one where it sounds like it could be Matt; the rest is great, but more clearly Dudman!

This one summed up the whole series for me - noisy story-less running around, but with some nice speeches and flashes of warmth from Doctor reuniting with his companions. Fun, but entirely disposable.
Maureen O Brien though, fantastic.
I find myself longing for a story without any nostalgia or returning elements that does things in a way that is unexpected and new. Shame the Companion Chronicles would seem to be no more.

Am I missing something? Not really sure there was anything controversial or of note, to be honest. I’d be expecting the same level of discussion we’ve had for the previous episodes, which is not a lot! The Worse Ep in the run is the most relevant Regards mark687 {Spoiler} I think I can take a guess as to what "The Union" is in reference to...

Found the series fine as a whole. Fun stuff throughout with a few pacing issues. Just wanted to something to enjoy & BF passed that goal & then some. To each their own.

Oh yesssssssssss......... A lottttt of discussion !!
Am I missing something? Not really sure there was anything controversial or of note, to be honest. I’d be expecting the same level of discussion we’ve had for the previous episodes, which is not a lot! More so, at least for me, the cast list that was given compared to who was in the story..

Problem with Dudman for me is he can't do words beginning with B completely misplaces tone and can't get it back. Regards mark687

It works fine if was the usual Anniversary large story Boxset but its a somewhat small scale pay off the for a monthly release Arc
I would like to know which parts were in the original 6 story plan though (arguably only 4 were crucial and one of those was a bonus/ not originally as intended.)
Regards

Well that was an audio product which I listened to. Some nice moments (mainly courtesy of Susan’s involvement), but it just didn’t do anything really interesting for me. The villain’s grander plan is unravelled fairly early and then she just rants in a variety of ways after that point whilst brandishing the least effective weapon of all time (aside from flitting between bodies there’s still no sense of actual jeopardy associated with this degeneration). It just felt generally uninvolving.
At least it makes clear where to put this in my Time War order. So that’s neat.
Anyway only 13 months till the Coda to tie up…what exactly. There’s no plot threads left really, so can only assume it’s purpose is to work in cameos they didn’t manage to fit in already.

The character called the Union, if you really need to know, is {Spoiler} the Collective/the Renegade, presumably the Thirteen

Seems like I dodged a bullet with this range, & saved money. Only a year to wait folks for The Final Act! Just in time for the 61st anniversary! So let me get this straight, you have been moaning and complaining about these releases since April and you haven’t even bothered to listen to any of them? Go away and stop wasting our time. Anyways. I enjoyed this one, it’s always a pleasure heading Carole Ann Ford, and Maureen O’Brien never fails to leave me with a smile. Paul McGann and Tom Baker are delightful as always. This story utilizes the degeneration in a way I expected the entire range to do, but it works out really well in this story I’m curious as to what’s left for the Coda to set up, but unless Big Finish pulls it ahead, there won’t be any momentum left for this to pick up on. The entire range has been a mixed bag, but unlike certain users on this forum, who haven’t even heard this range, would have you believe, it’s far from the worst thing Big Finish has produced. It’s a bit of light fun for the anniversary.
