Ok, so what I infer from the various answers to my inquiry is that series 1 and 2 are well worth a listen, 3 is ok but a bit ponderous, and 4 is either take it or leave it. Thanks for input. I'll take into consideration.

But that's only our opinions. Best approach is to listen to them all and make your own mind up. 4 isn't bad - it just doesn't fit in with 1-3, which make up one huge story arc.

There's one thing definitely in 3's favour. It features a pretty good performance from some young Scots lad. Not sure what ever happened to him. Name of Dave Tunnet, or something like that.

You and me both. Great episode with Tom B. on top form.

The Start [cover art ONLY] original with alternate strip

Could I ask what people's favourite Classic Who serials are?
I should really start on them in proper because otherwise I might never get to them (on the account that I can't seem to stop listening to LC/reading le books).


Green Death is often overlooked in these lists IMHO. It's Pertwee at his best! Great cliffhangers, meaningful story and a sentimental ending. Love it!

I recommend Pyramids of Mars, Talons of Weng-Chiang, the War Games, the Daemons, the Sea Devils (that fencing scene!) and Time and the Rani in addition to all those already mentioned :)

In Doctor Order: Aztecs, Web of Fear, Three Docs, Talons, Caves, Vengeance, Fenric. Daleks: Genesis. Cybs: Earthshock. Best of all, though: Caves, no contest.

TheDoctor911 that's a nice piece of art, but you've spelled the writer's name wrong. It's Marc. Other than that, it's very good.

Enlightenment, Snakedance, Kinda, Frontios, Web of Fear, The Seeds of Doom and City of Death rank highly in my favorite Doctor Who's. But there are far too many to list :)

I'd recommend The Keys of Marinus, The Tenth Planet, Tomb of the Cybermen, Invasion, War Games, Spearheads from Space, Mind of Evil, Claws of Axos, The two Peladon stories, Planet of the Spiders, The Ark in Space, Genesis, The Hand of Fear, The Deadly Assassin, City of Death, Visistation, Mawdryn Undead, Planet of Fire, Caves of Androzoni, Attack of the Cybermen, Time and the Rani, Trial of a Timelord (parts 1 and 3), Dragonsfire, Curse of Fenric, and Battlefield.

I can't truly weigh in on any favorites as of yet, since I've only recently begun watching all "50 years" - in order - from the first (un-aired) episode.
At present, I'm hip-deep on medic # 2, having just thoroughly enjoyed "€nemy 0f the W0rld" & "Web 0f Fe@r". Now on last episode of "Fury fr0m the D€€p".

Of course, I was watching the 4th medic when I was a lad, but then lost touch since "Medic WHAT" wasn't played in the USA... (except Medic 8's "movie") until Medic 9.
And I've been hooked again ever since!

I could probably pull together a list of my faves up to the moment, but it would be just of first 2 Medics, since I no longer recall specifics of the 4th Medics episodes from my youth.

TheDoctor911 that's a nice piece of art, but you've spelled the writer's name wrong. It's Marc. Other than that, it's very good.

thanx, i never would've noticed that...fixed it.

I never used to watch the medic as a youth, it wasn't until the introduction of Video and I watched Dea'rth to the Delaks and I was hooked. And to this day it is still on of my favourite episodes.

I listened to the LC adaptation of the NA novel Love and War last night and I'd have to say that it was absolute rubbish. The pacing was too slow and, despite being the introduction of Bernice Summerfield, the overall story was weak and unexciting. It wasn't nearly as bad as that other alterniverse story Death cms 2 Time but very nearly. It reminded me why I never really got into the NA novels back in the day. The characterization never seemed quite right.

I take it you hadn't read the novel beforehand. I haven't listened to the adaptation, but I didn't find the pacing to be a problem. I have in the past found audio pacing to be wildly at variance with my reading experience.

Indeed - I've read all the novels, and found L&W to be very entertaining (& I've listened twice!). Looking foward to the Old Roberts books they're doing soon, and hope they do more...

thanx, i never would've noticed that...fixed it.

You also spelt Carole Ann Ford wrong! Molloy plays Stoyn, not Stoy. And they're "Original" stories, not "Orginal"...

No, I haven't. As I recall I only ever read three of the NA novels - Parts One and Three of the TimeWorym story and one of the Cat's Cradle entries. I wasn't particularly impressed by any of them and more or less avoided any of the NA's from that point on. I did read and enjoy a number of the Missing Adventures though, as they seemed to capture the flavor of the TV series in the way that the NAs never manage to do. If the NAs had managed to stay truer to the spirit of the TV series I might have read more of them.

Wow - LC Podcast Favourite Paul Spragg is dead - that's a shock and a shame...

I know what you mean, CelestialTeaBoy. I went onto the website for my daily perusing and saw the news. Damn shame. When he read the e-mail I sent out to them in December 2012, I punched the air when he said my surname correctly. I had debated whether or not to put a little suggestion in the e-mail on how to say it, as some people think it's a bit more complicated than it actually is. I ultimately opted not to because I wanted to be able to maintain some dignity as a fan of their work.

Lotty Bollard series 1 anybody....


is it necessary to have finished Miss Bollard's arc with 6 before starting the new box set?

Bloody Hell - that's awful. I'd just read his latest Vortex editorial, too. RIP Paul Spragg - way too young...

thanks redskutter

No, I haven't. As I recall I only ever read three of the NA novels - Parts One and Three of the TimeWorym story and one of the Cat's Cradle entries. I wasn't particularly impressed by any of them and more or less avoided any of the NA's from that point on.

If the NAs had managed to stay truer to the spirit of the TV series I might have read more of them.

The first few VNAs were, I think, not particularly representative of the body.
The best of them were similar in tone to the Seventh Doctor PDAs.

There's a logical progression of character development that continues where the TV series left off: Seven becoming the chessmaster, taking on the big boys; the inevitable repercussions wherein his interpersonal relationships take a hit as his companions object to being used as, and apparently considered no more than, pawns; the situation reaching a tragic, possibly avoidable tipping point; the fallout (in more ways than one); the reconsideration of priorities and modus operandi; the eventual redemption of forgiveness but incomplete trust thereafter.

There's the lovely arc that explores the Doctor's origins, a continual exploration of what constitutes life and self-determination, and Benny, Roz, and Chris.

It's definitely worth reading them, just bearing in mind that they do diverge somewhat from the canon of NuWho.

As ever, thanks Red and dwst4!

Bellow will get you up to date.



Millions of years ago a space station held the universes worst viruses. Time travelling Daleks blew it up, and the viruses were flung through space and time. 8 foot tall bipedal unstoppable armoured things called Vyrons spent the next millions of years collecting and sterilizing those viruses before any one of them could wipe out all life in the universe and covering up any evidence of their presence by altering minds. Through a stunning twist of chance the Vyrons took Charlie as their assistant upon threat of death, and then they altered the 6th Doctors memories to have no recollection that they had ever travelled together.

Very tidy.



But seriously, just send a weekend listing to the original media. :)

It's not that the story doesn't make sense, because it's really quite straight forward, but without the earlier works, you don't have a reason to care a lick about what's going on in this boxset.

Stunned about PS to the point that I can't really believe it.

When i press download to my computer on MEGA it just says starting but nothing then happens....any ideas,please?!

First check that it's not just that specific link, but your browser is probably blocking it somehow.

Do you have a secondary browser?

Chrome works fine, firefox not so much, but if you want something out there... "comodo icedragon".

Or there is always Jdownloader...

JDownloader.org - Official Homepage (http://www.jdownloader.org/download/index)

What browser are you using, and how are you trying to download?

iirc with Chrome you can right-click the link and choose to download, but sometimes it doesn't grab the entire link. I'm just using IE11 and the easiest way I've found is just to copy and paste the link into the address bar of a new tab. So far I've never had a problem downloading from MEGA.

From Doctor Who News:

Lost in the Dark Dimension
Sunday, 11 May, 2014 - Reported by Marcus
Lost in the Dark DimensionA new fan made animation of the unmade thirtieth anniversary story Lost in the Dark Dimension is being released on YouTube.

The story was originally written in the early 1990's, by journalist and long-time Doctor Who fan, Adrian Rigelsford and commissioned by BBC Enterprises as a direct to video release. The production was intended to be released to celebrate Doctor Who's thirtieth Birthday in November 1993.

The project was abandoned after it encountered a number of problems including issues on actor availability and problems with rights to the series which resided with Philip Segal who was attempting to interest American producers in a co-production.

A team of professionals and amateurs are now working together to try to complete an animated version of the story. Part One has now been released on YouTube and features Big Finish veteran Paul Jones as the Fourth Doctor, with theatre performer Jennifer Knighton and video game actor Graydon Schlichter also appearing alongside a complete cast of other semi-professional actors. The animation is being produced and directed by James Walker and Jay Hale.

Part One is now available on YouTube (http://youtu.be/rilhirixZxs).

Oh yes! This was overseen by my friend (well more of an acquaintance, but a friendly one) Dan Armitage! :)
Fun fact, for the movie length edit (with all parts edited together), he's asked me to do the music! :) So that's fun!)

I'm honestly amazed how well it's turned out though!

What length is the extended version??

The extended version runs about 2hr30min give or take a few minutes. Ignore what the length says on the page. It is the full version. I wouldn't post any link without checking to make sure it is complete.

Now here are links to the first two series of the Opposite Movements team and The Intelligence Taskforce. RWQ Happy listening.

On an unrelated note has anyone else noticed that lately LC has started slipping in hints of the Gold music for certain monsters.

If they were gonna do a spin-off, I would've preferred Panda over Lottie and would love just one more story set on the No22 - just to finish off the cliff-hanger at the end of series 4.

I agree that the quality has slipped somewhat. The last three Sixers with Flipper were less than stellar.

Same here.

I'm only half-way through CD2 but I get that same feeling I had listening to the first bunch of C-Messures ... that there may well be decent story hidden in there, but it's struggling to find any real energy to engage me. But I'll carry on and, hopefully, it will (like CM) find its feet eventually.

But in terms of 'first impressions' ... I think I'd actually rate this lower than ... well ... lower than G-Less!

And before anyone leaps on me ... LC do do some outstanding stuff, so when you hit something that you consider it a bit of a clunker it always feels that much clunkier due the high standards you're used to.

I *generally* enjoyed the Lipf storyline. It wasn't GREAT but I have a soft spot for the various Non-TV series companions - They have a LOT of competition for fan love in comparison to the normal crowd.

With the exception of Ms Smythe. Who is universally adored from everything I can tell (deservedly so).

Somehow managed to just finish the last story in this set. I enjoyed that as the stories progressed they became increasingly reliant on the Medics namedrop to keep things going.That is some real faith in your writing and actors

Don't let us put you off. We're all individuals and just because some of us didn't like Lottie's first outing doesn't mean you won't. I quite liked the third story, but on the whole the series just didn't do anything to grab me.

Yeah just giving opinion, don't take it for Gospel Truth.

If multiple people express this much doubt then the verdict can be condensed to two words....NOT GOOD.

Think you've got to take into account that here we've generally a bit "wary" of this release so expectations may have been skewed a wee bit.

Fingers crossed it's that LC have decided to do more Wildtime after all, or that it's been picked up by another company.

I *generally* enjoyed the Lipf storyline. It wasn't GREAT but I have a soft spot for the various Non-TV series companions - They have a LOT of competition for fan love in comparison to the normal crowd.

With the exception of Ms Smythe. Who is universally adored from everything I can tell (deservedly so).

I have nothing against the non-TV companions. I've quite liked most of them, especially Ms. Smythe and Miss Miller. Flipper I like as a character....it's just this second round of stories featuring her that I have fault with. They were weaker by far than her debut round of stories.

Fair enough.
I would love some stories with Patricia Menzies tbh.

Here's some reading material for the week. The two Fallen Angel books by AvonCalling. I also included the novelization of Battleboat. Please note, these are ePub files. If you need to convert them, there are several file conversion sites available online.

I'll leave this up for a few days.

Happy reading!

My understanding was that it was luaP srgaM, creator of said Free-Rosemary that had decided LC wouldn't continue with her, not LC themselves...

That would be interesting. Hopefully they'd be better at writing stories for her than he was. She's a great character and follows interesting story concepts, but I've never rated his narrative ability.

The extended version runs about 2hr30min give or take a few minutes. Ignore what the length says on the page. It is the full version. I wouldn't post any link without checking to make sure it is complete.

I'm wondering about this. I know that it was originally a flash animated special on the web originally at about an hour.

Then they released it on a 2 CD set. The CD's were about 1:02 and 1:07. The first one was all story. The second one had about 30 minutes of story, with the rest extras.

So, is this even longer than that? If so, any idea where it came from?

I'd download it and try to find out. But Malwarebytes is blocking the last page for the downloads. So I'd prefer to be sure that I don't already have this before risking it. After all, almost all of these sharing sites are overflowing with ads with malware in them.

Thanks!

I recommend the Adblock Plus browser add-on. it's pretty great. You don't even notice its function, but ads on pages are just gone.

It's been 2 years and 2 months since it was revealed that she was the bright new young thing there to make Matt look sexy from proximity... In which time she has done 9 episodes and 3 specials.

Not even been on screen a full season to her credit, and the new car smell is gone.

I have a friend named Roxana on Facebook who would emphatically agree with that statement. She also has the hots for Benedict Cumberbatch and will post shirtless pics of him whenever possible. She's Romanian, but she lives in London.

Anyone got latest Blokes 6+1 Boxxsset..Please

I'm wondering about this. I know that it was originally a flash animated special on the web originally at about an hour.

Then they released it on a 2 CD set. The CD's were about 1:02 and 1:07. The first one was all story. The second one had about 30 minutes of story, with the rest extras.

So, is this even longer than that?

No, its the Big Finish release. Actual runtime is 2 hrs 10 min and 47 sec. But if you plan on getting it you'd better hurry. I'll only be leaving it up for another 24 hrs.

A last minute notice to my fellow whovians in the Portland, Oregon area:

https://www.facebook.com/events/1404630936479227/?ref_dashboard_filter=upcoming

and as an extra incentive our library also features a bountiful bevy of buxom, bookworm-ish beauties.

Finished the Adventuress Adventures ... and ...


The worse thing a release can do for me is to get to the end and just go ... "Oh. Was that it?"

Which is what this did.

I'd honestly prefer something like G-Less where I got to the end of the first set and knew perfectly well why I didn't like it. At the very least it provoked an emotional response, albeit a negative one. It made an impact. Even though I wasn't enjoying it, the series engaged me enough to keep listening.

Which is, I suppose, sort of a good thing?

Or C-Measures and their first set. I found that hard to get into at first, but stayed on, and got to the end thinking 'Ok. I think I see where they're going with this. Could be a fun, if somewhat leisurely, ride.'

But this set for Ms P?

Got to the end and, honestly, couldn't have cared less. Absolutely no emotional impact at all.

Some good performances, one utterly terrible bit of acting, but the whole is less than the sum of the parts.

Despite never really being behind the idea of hearing what happens to her after leaving Six, I honestly feel that the character deserves better than this bland mess.

So maybe, after all, it has an emotional impact.

If beige is an emotion, mind you.

As they say on The Internets .... "Pictures, or it never happened ..."

:)

My own little nitpicks
DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVE NOT FINISHED THE RELEASE.
Mr. B voicing the villain in the final story was horrible. I recognize he is a valuable member of LC and I recognize his talent, but I am sure they had access to any number of actors that could have done it without resulting in the feeling of "Him again?".

I feel like it was largely a mess because there really isn't any need to do a CP series. Her story ended. She didn't die. That does not mean that everything after would be interesting or even mildly exciting. This series practically BEGS to tell us exactly this information. They brought her back because people liked her stories, they didn't bring her back because they had stories to tell.

The very rare occurrence happened to me where I actually just preferred the Bonus material and listening to the actors talk. I have no idea what stories they were talking about, since none of them were even SORT OF as interesting to me as it seems they were to them, but hey I like listening to people talk about their work.

I do wish they had gotten into the reasoning behind the music though, because that was hands down the worst stuff LC has put out so far.

As they say on The Internets .... "Pictures, or it never happened ..."

:)

No it's true we have them here at GPL, I always feel uncomfortable when talking to them at the very low reference desk. You can't avoid seeing their cleavage.

I'm with you. I wasn't really thrilled and kept tuning in and out during the stories. She's a fine character, but I had my doubts if she could hold her own series. A major overhaul is needed for the second box set.

The CC stuff is my most looked forward to release monthly. I love hearing the old companions and I love that LC has given all fans of the Medic a chance to spend some time with them.

Hopefully the New Adventures series of fullcasts continues in this vein and delivers some great stories to replace this audio treasure.

Well, given what inspired them to make the New Adventures range were their 1st, 2nd and 3rd Medic stories in the Lost Stories range, I've got some pretty high hopes.

There aren't really any rules apart from the site ones.

If you're referring to a Large Conclusions title/etc try to type in in such a way that it wouldn't get picked up on by a search engine.

I'm sure somebody has already mentioned this but does anybody know what happens to the 3rd medic stories now. there's nothing in the early adventures with him featured.

Here it is, the only two pieces they made. I wish they would have done more, just like with the Stranger audios. Sadly, it seems like the director of BBV was not a greatly honest guy and that he kind of ripped of Nicholas Briggs (I suspect the launch of Big Finish may have something to do with it), which explain why there were no more "guy who wanders around" audio.

Found this interview excerpt from Nick Briggs concerning the "Fred" stories

Do you feel that the two �Fred� plays were a continuation from the end of the AVs?

That�s what Bill wanted. In many ways, I was very uncomfortable doing them. But this was when I thought there was no hope of the BBC doing or licensing new Who audio. Bill was worried about getting sued by the BBC, so he wanted to further distance his �Who Clone� products by casting someone who hadn�t been the Doctor (officially)� Me! I was very reluctant, but Bill was relentless and persuasive. I was doing Children In Need with him at the time. He�d given me a lot of very well paid work on that (for which I was and am extremely grateful) and consequently I felt it was almost ungrateful for me to say no. I kind of felt obliged. He would phone me very early in the morning (he was doing Breakfast TV editing), when he knew I wasn�t yet up, and give me a psychological battering. He was very determined. He *is* very determined. It�s his great strength; but it�s a bit wearing at 7am! He told me to write Doctor Who, but find some clever way of making it lawyer-proof!

Did you enjoy making Cyber-Hunt?

Yes. It was great fun. Bill did the recording and I directed. We worked very well together. Bill has a very good ear for picking up on stuff that is monotonous and needs a change of pace. He was also very good at suggesting extra lines so that certain characters were more obviously in a scene from the beginning. It�s a common fault with audio writers that they forget that a character is invisible if they don�t speak.

To what extent were the original team involved? (Bill, John, Alistair etc�)

Just Bill and me. I did the post-prod editing and Harvey Summers did the music. It overran a little, which Bill really moaned and moaned about (quite rightly), so there are some cut scenes� somewhere.

<!--DELETED-->
Here, for anyone who hasn't before heard the pre-LC Medic adventures, is a collection of my own personal copies of said stories. I should tell you that I have done some minor re-editing - adding a proper medic theme, meticulously going through each to balance out the sound as well as possible, as well as reformatting some episodes with new cut-off points. All are in windows media video format - visuals and title sequences by me.

Would you be so kind as to reup to a different site? Maybe mega or something? As the download as it is is set to take about 3 days, or 5 hours if I pay them.

3 days?

It only took me 2 hours to download, which is mostly about it being massive more so than the service being exceptionally slow.

Of course, sites hand out different speeds to different countries at different times of day.

Took a look, not really sure what it is, they call it an audiovisual but it just seems to be a still picture of Mr Brigggs while an audio adventure plays out.

Originally they were only audios. I reformatted them in this way because I had intended, at one time, to post these on Youtube. I added the title sequences just because I felt like it. I didn't keep the audio-only tracks, at least not for the plays or On Tape sections. I didn't see any reason to keep both. Sorry if that puts you off these. They are worth a listen. I suggest doing what I sometimes do - just collapse the window and let the audio play.


Thanks for the link. :) If it's okay with you and if anyone's interested, I can convert the files so that anyone on a Macbook will be able to enjoy them.

Feel free. The more ways to share these the better.

Hi, I'm looking for the C*B*B "Terra and Further" Anthology read by P*M*c*G, and the Audio version of their Brief Outing range. I can't seem to find them anywhere.

Because one of these stories was shared the other day, anyone mind if I share what I suspect is an unpopular opinion? Yrys Crazysage. I don't like her stuff. It's too deliberately quirky for me, feels like it was designed to be a sort of cult hit. Those are both things I don't like. I'm not saying they're outright bad and you're bad for enjoying that sort of thing, it just doesn't appeal to me.

Anyone else feel that way, or am I alone in the crowd?

Would you be so kind as to reup to a different site? Maybe mega or something? As the download as it is is set to take about 3 days, or 5 hours if I pay them.

I'd suggest trying it again. I checked it myself and it said the download length would be about 2 hrs. I did try to open an account with Mega but it didn't want to cooperate. It kept freezing on the 'generating key' page and I don't have the patience to wait forever for it to do something.

Don''t agree with you, but you do have to be in a certain frame of mind to listen to her solo adventures. She's a bit more 'toned down' when she's with one of the Docs.

I like them personally, (although the last set wasn't that great in my opinion) but I can see where not everyone would. I like the short stories even better than the audios though, have you read any of those?

(By the way, is the posting system doing weird things to anyone else, or is it just me?)

It is. I couldn't get on yesterday or this morning.

I haven't, and I don't have any desire to. But I'm glad I'm not alone.

Attention, I will only be keeping the link for the AV medic stories up for another 48 hrs. If anyone still wants them I'd suggest you get them asap.

Taking links down is a sendspace thing, Sendspace is "monitored".

We don't know how monitored Uloz.to is, and it may be safe to leave then up for as long as they can persist, without any dire repercussions to your uloz account.

But then, it's completely up to you. :)

They've changed the desktop theme, haven't they? ...... I don't like it. ;)

Mine's still the same.

Really? I'm getting a dark blue theme, I haven't changed any settings (still set on forum default, I checked) so I'm not sure how it happened.

Edit: it's not changing no matter what skin I select, maybe I'm getting a random glitch? (or maybe this is the default and I'm just stupid? I had a light background before)

I had this too, but was able to fix it.

So to Settings on the top line and select it, then press Enter.

When the settings page loads, go to General Settings under my Account, select it and press enter.

When this loads, look for Forum Skin - near the bottom of the page. Change the skin to New (Light) or whatever you like. You will need to save the changes.

There may be other ways, but that worked for me.

Actually, I quite like this blue room now...

It appears they have. I'm getting steel grey dialogue boxes on a black background. Quite nice actually.

You don't need an account to post to Ulozto. They let any old joe schmoe upload. But since I now have those two BBV plays I was going to take down the collection I now have up and re-upload with those included....just for completest sake.

On another subject, I watched emitnwoD last night for the first time. It wasn't too bad for a glorified fan film. What surprised me was discovering that the Brig's daughter originated in one of the spin-offs. I figured she was an invention of Moff and company. You learn something new every day.

I had heard the name of these books once before, but my quick bit of research only showed fanfic... are there actual books?
And if so... could anyone elaborate upon them (or better yet... provide a DL link?)

Thanks!

ALSO, with the news that ANY shmo can upload to Ulozto, I think I'll be able to provide items for the masses as well.
I hate to only take. I wish to give back.

Here are the four novels for Life on Mars (file called Life on the Red Planet). Yes, they are actual books that were published two years ago. They began life as ebooks only, but were eventually published. The ebooks are epub format. These books are set right after the final episode of the series (so they will contain spoilers if you have not watched the show) and help bridge the gap between Life on the Red Planet and Ashes to Ashes. Please note: there are spoilers for Ashes to Ashes in these books as they were published a year or so after Ashes to Ashes ended.

The number at the beginning of each title is the order they should be read in as each book builds upon the prior.

I feel victorious! After months and months of searching, I've finally discovered the secret of the fifth Doctor' hat. While it's been obvious that he wears a Panama of some kind, I now know what kind: a Colonial!

I so often forget that this thread often includes items NOT affiliated with The MEDIC, and this seems to be one of them
lol

I did watch the first few episodes of this show (US remake) and while entertaining, thought I'd be better served watching its UK originator.
However, I lost track of it and soon forgot all about it.

So, I DO thank you for the link (and hopefully others will be able to partake), but I'm just trying to catch up on all-things-"Medic" for now.

And to get this thread going again, help yourselves to the 50th Birthday trilogy featuring "Celebration for the Pseudo-Beatles", "The Galactic Marathon" and "The Extermination Olympics,"

I'd be really grateful of a re-up of the latest Blokes 6+1 audio. I was too slow last time.

Is it weird that I've started doing Zens voice when saying "confirmed" to people?

I have a request myself. Don't know if anyone can help though. I'd like to try my hand at doing some LC cover redesigns and wondered if anyone knew where I could lay hands on clean face templates where the logos, titles, and featured players names go. Any help would be appreciated.

Ditto for this!!!

Aside from watching every MEDIC story from the beginning (am now nearing the end of 3rd Medic's tenure), I've been heavily diving into novels and other reading materials of the MEDIC, and find, that with my work schedule, the anthology books tend to work best for me. Quick reads whist grabbing a bite or on a 10-minute break.

To that end, I wonder if anyone has the LARGE CONCLUSION series (29 books!) of "BRIEF SOJOURNS".

I already have the 3 "CBB" "Brief Sojourns" books and have found them a treat.
To learn that there are 29 others out there is a delight!

While MOBI are what I use, ANY file format is fine (I found a program - �@l!bre -that can transform any format into any other format).

Many thanks in advance!

Ditto for this!!!

Ditto cubed. And if anyone has the latest Blokes 6+1 Freedom Tales, I'll happily do a Zen impression....

Hate to ask but would someone be so kind as to re-up those Living on the Red Planet books.

Pretty please.

I saw that LC used to have an audio magazine. Were they just clips from the regular releases or something specially done for them? Does anyone have them to share?

I was looking forward to hearing the last 3rd medic cc, imagine my surprise at the lack of said medic in this piece of audio. isn't 3rd medic cc technically false advertising

You know ... you may well have a technical case. The 3rd Doc is on the cover, and whilst the details don't say that he's NOT in it there's a reasonable expectation of an appearance. You'ld probably need a particularly sympathetic Trading Standards Officer to make A Case from it, though. (Arguably in breach of The Distance Trading rules and regs, too.)

That said .... it's not unprecedented ... 3x8, 3x11, 4x12, (the Leealah and S.Queedom trilogies?), 8x7 don't, IIRC, have their medic show up in the story.
