Point of Entry
It was about halfway through this one when I realized how amazing it was. I was able to visualize everything so well, like Peri and the Doctor's clothes, the astral plane part of the story takes place on, the rain on the curfewed (apparently that's not a word) streets...Peri as Queen Elizabeth was hilarious, but the rest of the audio was serious and a bit scary. The sound of those flies buzzing around....ugh.
On a weirder and slightly fetish-y note, I really liked the visual of an unconscious Peri and Six being carried out of the burning house. It was really sweet how Tom wouldn't leave them to burn alive and insisted he and Kit get them out of there. When I finished the audio I was just like, "Wow. That was incredible." I've heard other people say this is a good one, which I doubted until I heard it. Fantastic job, Big Finish, and of course to Nicola and Colin.
Night's Black Agents
Jamie is my second-favorite companion (Sarah Jane being the first) and Six is my favorite Doctor, so it's no surprise that I loved this audio. I haven't heard the trilogy this is set in the middle of yet, but I can't wait to.
About two minutes into this one I practically threw my headphones across the room--or on the ground, at least. I just want to see (or at least hear) Jamie and the Doctor together, and I loved that it was ingrained in Jamie's subconscious to trust and care about this weird man. I also love Frazer's voice, and hearing him impersonate Colin was a real treat. Great story, great acting, but it won't make sense unless you've already heard or know what happens in The City of Spires.
Voyage to Venus
I'm not sure if I'd even seen The Talons of Weng-Chiang before pre-ordering this audio. I don't think I had. All I knew was that the Jago & Litefoot audios were really good, and here were two for a dollar each. When I did get the audio, I listened to it on a night when I was really tired, and taking a break from all the homework I had. It instantly cheered me up and left me with a smile on my face. Funny, clever, and visually stimulating (you can see the colours and everything!) this is a good jumping-on point for Jago & Litefoot. At least, it is if you're cheap like me and don't want to wait for a Big Finish sale to buy the box sets.
(Yes, I own three of the box sets now, plus The Mahogany Murderers and Voyage to the New World. You could say this was the start of my obsession with Professor George Litefoot. Enough on that coming up.)
