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

The radio iPlayer should be internationally available; I've certainly been able to listen to assorted radio-plays before now on a streaming basis, including some of the previous adventures on The Channel Formerly Known As BBC7. Suspect it's computer difficulties.

Could also be the wireless connection wasn't up to snuff. Or it could be that technology hates me as much as I hate it. 21st Century. Pah!
