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

I got the popup window, but no Play button as far as I could see. No autoplay, either, and I waited quite a long while. Well, quite a long while for me, at any rate. Still, I think it was enough time for something to happen.

I was indeed on a wireless connection, and I did see the low bandwidth link and clicked on it. Also with the "big nothing". I'll give it another shot when next I've got my laptop at my office so I can hook it into the cable. Desktops for work, laptops for work with occasional fun is my general rule of thumb, and it's avoided all but one crippling computer meltdown.
