[Doctor Who] audio dramas | behind the scenes
ok, I made a table of contents.
And I'm convinced it's completely useless – in order to use it at all, you need to know what you're already looking for, and then read through a list of 259 different segments. It would be easier to just search the page.
Classic Doctor Who | Season 10 | The Green Death
ah, what a lovely vacation to Metebelis III
Classic Doctor Who | Season 10 | Planet of the Daleks
I finished Planet of the Daleks (after taking a couple of weeks off, I guess?)
I'm probably going to just give this a Maybe. It's fine, but I'm just kind of sick of 6 episode long dalek stories where the middle episodes feel like padding. This story definitely could have been told in 4 episodes, and it would have been much better.
Plus, they wouldn't have abandoned a few plotpoints partway through.

I finished slipback. It basically answered the question "What if Doctor Who was written in the style of Hitchiker's Guide?"
The answer to that is "it would feel anticlimactic and not actually be that funny"

2 episodes in, and I actually don't know why it got such negative reviews... it doesn't really feel like Doctor Who, but it's not as horrible as I was lead to believe

I listed to the first episode of slipback – it's not amazing, but it's so much better than Doctor Who and the Pescatons... if only because it is internally consistent... and doesn't have terrible grammar... and has good performances... and is augmented by background music...

The Audio Dramas I was looking for are available on audible, which is something at least.
A friend gifted me a copy, so I'll be listening to them shortly...

@lizardsquid Slipback and The Ghosts of N-Space are both on Audible.

(I should say that while I am willing to pay some amount, I'm not willing to pay very much – I've heard that Slipback is really bad, and I've heard nothing about the other two.)

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'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
