promising early start The very first big finish story has the fifth sixth and seventh doctors all facing similar threats on their own, and then brought together at the end to deal with as it gets bigger.Each gets an episode to themselves. Some are better than others. The seventh’s doesn’t engage, the fifth’s is quite good although his companions are written out of it in a contrived manner, and the sixth’s is involving due to the quality of colin baker’s acting.On their own those episodes would rate three stars, but this story as a whole gets up to a four as it’s a great listen when the doctors come together. Sylvester Mccoy and Colin Baker are a great double act, and Peter Davison is superb in the elder statesman of the trio role.The rest of the plot is nothing special, but this is still a pretty good listen
Sirens of Time This is the first in the Big Finish range of Classic Doctor Who audio stories, and great things were to follow.Dr. Who works superbly well as an audio production, mainly because the production team are no longer hamstrung by cheap visual effects. The monsters are so much better when you cannot see them! Also, as no sets are needed it allows for a much wider and imaginative selection of location, and is able to produce stories with epic, sweeping qualities that just cannot be made for TV.Following the format of the classic show, adventures are usually 4 part with 25 minutes per episode. In this adventure we are presented with one episode each starring Peter Davison, Colin Baker and Sylvester McCoy, in their individual dealings with the main villain of the piece. Then finally in the fourth episode the three come together to battle it out with their foe. This is where it gets really interesting, and the interaction between the three leads is excellent.Cast and production crew were still finding their feet, but nonetheless this is good start. The three leads slip back into their roles easily, and after a few minutes it is as if they had never been away. Great stuff.
