June 6th, 2018 - 4:35pmI don’t know, I think it’s a bit expensive for just 2 adventures while the new announced Class volumes will have 3 stories each and are cheaper.

June 6th, 2018 - 4:54pmThe First Doctor Adventures stories are 2 hours each, the Class ones are an hour each. So with the First Doctor Adventures you’re paying £23 for four hours of content and with Class you’re paying £20 for 3 hours of content, that’s excluding the behind the scenes content.

Reminds me of old 70’s comics
The logo fits in nicely

June 4th, 2018 - 10:33pmI kind of like the cover, but also I kind of don’t. Have Big Finish been told to keep their logo smaller than the BBC one?
booboo
June 5th, 2018 - 7:28ampossibly, but then if you look at anything released with the new logo the license holders logo is smaller or non existent
I believe they are pushing a one show one brand strategy

June 4th, 2018 - 4:36pmDay one!, Loved the 1st set! If only they would use the new cast to refilm all the lost Hartnell episodes:) I feel like I’m one of the few classic who fans to love that idea…

June 4th, 2018 - 10:58pmThe problem is that it’s never going to be spot on replicating the original episodes no matter how hard they tried. Getting spot on guest cast members that look and act exactly like the original members would be a struggle especially with the likes of Marco Polo which has a large guest cast to recast

June 4th, 2018 - 1:26pmNot a huge fan of using a full recast for the audio drama, but the logo looks great here!
