We're now stocking Invasion of the Daleks - the new Big Finish audio with Gareth Thomas.
I've only had a chance to listen to it once so far, but it struck me a day later who Kalendorf (Gareth's character) reminds me of. There's something of the Gauda Prime Blake about him. It's a quality of loss of hope, and cynicism, with a suspicion that there's a better man lurking behind that if only one could find him.
I'm looking forward to seeing how the character develops in later CDs in the series, as I think we're going to learn a lot more about his background.
Invasion of the Daleks has a very period feel to it. The sound effects/voices all feel like Blake's 7, even though they aren't - little details about how voices sound on news broadcasts and that kind of thing. It's just some quality about the way it's been produced - which feels right for a dalek story. It *should* sound like the seventies even though it's the far future.
I'll write a better review after Nexus is over.
We're also selling 'The New Gods', a Tomorrow People CD (original series with Tim the computer, not the later remake series). I felt the plot was a bit OTT, but on the other hand, this seems to fit the style of what I've seen of the series.
As we've had a couple of requests, we've also decided to try stocking the Big Finish CDs that don't have B7 cast in them, as well as the ones that do.
As usual, you can buy the above on http://www.hermit.org/Blakes7

PS. Kathryn, I'll be mailing you the Tomorrow People CD. There's going to be another three CDs in the series.
