I really enjoyed this one. It moved the story forward and the character combination worked well. 8/10.

Six and Jackie were not a pairing I would have imagined, but it really worked for me. Same with Jackie and Christina. And I think the person who got them all together was a very smart story point, especially since that character hasn't been announced as being part of the overall story. It was also cool to see the origins of the Renegade.

I’m quite enjoying the audios I only ever got into them when 9 started doing them so I’m loving the adventure as it’s like I wanted for the 60th on screen sort of each doctor has an episode that’s the series

I'm finding it disappointing how cynical these releases have been. As you say in your review, these are clearly designed to be adverts for other DW spin-offs, I feel at a detriment to the story. Big Finish regularly promise grandiose serialised adventures, and deliver loosely connected isolated stories that save for some very light connective tissue, could practically be placed anywhere, in any other range. 'Once and Future' hasn't felt like a 60th anniversary celebration whatsoever for me, so far.

I think one thing the series can definitely be praised for is that integration between eras be it classic or new series and even between TV and audio (with the colin baker curator) It feels like a far more integrated series than other releases that have blended classic and new together. I think some times you can tell that certain characters are from completely different points within the shows history as they bring with them the tropes of those specific eras on screen. But especially with the doctors, i think they are getting better and better at those interactions. Would certainly be interesting to see how the series would handle say the first or second doctor with a 12th/13th doctor era character.

@@thehostproductions They touched on this well with 'The Diary of River Song,' with links to the David Bradley series of First Doctor Adventures. I agree with you, the classic and new series are so different, making them seamless is no mean feat.
