Audioland - Third Doctor serials
Feb. 25th, 2012 10:59 amI managed to rip a large portion of Three's serials as audios. Or about... hrm. Half, I think? Anyway.
Terror of the Autons, The Green Death, Frontier in Space, Day of the Daleks, Carnival of Monsters, Claws of Axos, Curse of Peladon, The Time Monster and The Three Doctors all work pretty well as audio-only. There's enough exposition in the dialog as well as other cues to indicate what's happening for them to work all right. I enjoyed them quite a bit, even if sometimes I went "...what just happened?" as I hadn't seen the episode in ages.
The Sea Devils - what I listened to seemed to work, but as I stopped during the second episode and when I got home I immediately watched the whole thing, I can't say whether it would have worked all the way through (I think it might have).
Colony in Space - a bit convoluted and confusing as audio-only.
Planet of the Daleks - this one was mostly entertaining, but some of it is hard to get because Jo spends a lot of time silently creeping around, which doesn't really come across when it's audio only. (there's a reason I watched it as soon as I'd gotten home that night)
( This is getting longish. Also, some spoilers for 35-year-old episode things )
