I'm still looking for the following BBC audio dramas:

• Slipback (1985)
• The Paradise of Death (1993)
• The Ghosts of N-Space (1996)

If anyone knows of a way to get them (even if it's "pirating"), I'd appreciate it.

(I'm also looking for a way to get the BBV audio dramas, but I suspect that's going to be much more difficult, especially since BBV no longer exists.)

I'm going to go lie in bed, and hopefully fall asleep!

goodnight!

I've had to add a "don't listen" category to my guide, JUST for Doctor Who and the Pescatons.

I strongly suspect that it will be the only story on this page to get a "don't listen".

alright, now that's finally finished…

my main question is... how did this happen? How did the writer (who had written for Doctor Who before) end up writing something that was so garbage?

How did the producers not notice that something was wrong?

How did Tom Baker narrate and perform this without going "hold on a minute, this doesn't feel right."

Doctor Who and the Pescatons is, almost certainly, the worst Doctor Who story I've had the displeasure of experiencing

also, Sarah Jane and the Doctor are simultaneously acting like they've been travelling together for ages AND like they've only barely met each other.

The Doctor: But what if my plan didn't work? Hadn't Zor proved himself to be invincible and all powerful?

um... no? There was no proof of that.

Also, the Doctor keeps saying that the Pescatons are evil, which.... feels really out of character.

@BatElite oh, and yes – timelords are established as having strong mental powers fairly early on in the series. In Season 1 of the TV show, in fact!

@BatElite yeah, the pescatons asked for help, and then when the Doctor refused (it's never explained why he refuses to help) their leader tries to have a mental battle with him.

And then the doctor just walks away, I guess??? I don't even know

(my editor brain really wants to fix that first sentence too... why is it "had"??? it should be "we were locked in a mental battle, as the mighty zor struggled to absorb my knowledge")
