This month's issue of Doctor Who Magazine was full of gushing praise of Tom Baker. This is because he is finally doing the Big Finish Audios. This news would be more impressive if he hadn't already done audio work on Hornet's Nest.
Still, every cloud has a silver lining, and this months DWM came with a free download of Part One of The Foe From the Future, giving me the chance to listen. It doesn't sound too bad.
It's big news at the moment that Tom Baker is doing the Big Finish audios. Since he's already done
Tom Baker sounds as though he never stopped playing the Doctor. He and Louse Jameson perfectly recreate the feel of their characters. The rest of the cast don't seem that prmising, and The Reverend is a caricature rather than a character.
I'm still slightly wary of the others. A story set on Nerva Beacon and another one featuring the Master and the Kraals sounds suspiciously like fanwank. Still, I may give them a go some time.
