(oh yeah, and the $50 price for series 1 is for the CDs, including delivery, whereas The Story So Far is a download.)

It makes more sense to get The Story So Far (especially since I have that advice in my guide) but:

Series 1 is 6 stories (2 hours each) for $50
The Story so far is 3 stories (1 hour each) for $20

Now, obviously $20 will be better if I don't like the series. But if I *do* like the series, $50 for 12 hours is way better value than $20 for 3 hours.

Coming up soon is Bernice Summerfield Series 1, and I want to know if Bernice Summerfield is the kind of thing I want to listen to. So I have 2 options:

Option A – buy Series 1
Option B – buy "Bernice Summerfield – The Story So Far", which is intended to be a good introduction to the range.

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.

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...

(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.)
