| | Looks like this one is out now, but reviews over at Outpost Gallifrey are not terribly encouraging so far...has anybody heard this yet? What do you think? |

| Yes, I have it and have listened to it. Some interesting moments but all and all, one of the worst BF has put out.
I almost feel they should be paying us back for this one. |

| Sorry to dash your hopes.
Perhaps if you go in listening with real, real, real low expectations, you will come out of it so much the better.
This release is even more of an awful choice since it is the supposed start to a relaunch. |

| | I liked it; I think it is a great idea in it, and I just wonder how much they removed that Bidmead didn't want to be named the writer... |

| This one was OK if you saw it as a farce or just a runaround. I imagine Bidmead came up with the technical junk and a lot of the characters and such shoehorned in to spread the story out to four episodes with some flavor instead of two episodes of technobabble.
Davison is incredible - despite the shaky stories, he's giving a better performance on audio than he did on TV! |

| I think Colin Baker really comes off so much better on audio then video.
Both he and Davison, especially with the outfits they had to wear, that very visual obstruction is out of the way. |

| | When listening to it, I imagined what would have happened if this story was produced for tv. Imagine what kids with their dalek toys would be doing after watching it.... that would have been classic! |

| | Just listened to it, and you're right- lower expectations def. helped. I didn't hate it (I think the toy Dalek idea is kinda fun) but all the sci fi talk was pretty pointless. And those horrible American accents! Yikes. |

Has anyone seen anywhere exactly why Bidmead wanted his name off? |
