Hm, Whaddya Know...?

As previously threatened, I'm listening to the entire Kaldor City run in one fell swoop.

I've just finished the second story - Death's Head - and rather to my surprise, the series is more proving enjoyable than I had expected (or remembered). It's all still a bit shameless and occasionally wince-inducing, mind you, but I'm willing to admit that it's better than my initial assessments might have led you to believe.

Granted, knowing how the plot's going to unfold over the course of the series helps, too - the dollops of foreshadowing and certain character actions make a lot more sense and make the story feel stronger. Uvanov is still a whiny bitch, tho'. ;)

I've also listened to the Kaldor City one-act The Prisoner and it was quite the hoot. Aptly named, too, as it was almost pure homage to the TV show of the same name - or so it seemed to me. Being a complete sucker for the McGoohan series, anything in a similar vein is almost guaranteed to entertain me.

On to Hidden Persuaders...

Where does one find the Kaldor City Prisoner thing...?

[britgeekgrrl.livejournal.com]

It's on the "Paul Darrow: The Actor Speaks" CD, although I suppose that if you're of the naughty sort to look for things on the 'net, you'll find it around. :)

Thanks - I'll actually buy that one... I almost did at TARDIS but got distracted... :-)

It's quite the hoot - although for reasons entirely other than those intended by the producers, I suspect. :)
