Fifth Doctor audio adventures

[susanreads]

BBC Radio 4 Extra (formerly BBC Radio 7), in their Seventh Dimension slot, are running some Big Finish audio adventures of the Fifth Doctor. The continuity announcements describe them as new, which seems unlikely (if the Nick Briggs doing them is the Nick Briggs, how far in advance did he record the continuity links?). They're online, not region-locked as far as I know, and available for 7 days after broadcast. They started on Monday, so you have three days left to catch the first episode.

The first four-part story is Cobwebs, with Five, Tegan, Turlough, Nyssa and a robot that sounds to me as if it's channeling C3PO. They've just started another story, which I'm recording off Freeview to listen to after the imminent Eleven two-parter. index for the episodes available online

'New to radio' is indeed what's meant, I'm sure. While these stories have been commercially available for a little while, they haven't been broadcast before.

I'm not sure when Nick records his links other than in-between the demands of the ring modulator...
