SFF: Big Finish's ATA Girl
May. 11th, 2018 08:51 pmSo, as many of you will know, I have a thing for pilots, especially female pilots. And probably especially, those who did shit during WW2.
So when I found out BF was putting out an original drama about the women of the ATA (Air Transport Auxiliary-women pilots ferried planes to various locations during the war, and helped a great deal in the war effort in England. They were the inspiration for the WASPs in the US), I listened to the trailer and went "Well, why not. Also, FUCK YES." On top of it being about the women of the ATA, it was also produced, directed & written by women. Even better. (Link here, for those interested)
And then I forgot about it entirely until last week when I was poking through BF for River Song s4 and 5 (which are neither of them out yet), and realized it was in my downloads. So I downloaded it for a listen at work.
I listened to in on Wednesday, and it was so good I was really annoyed that there wasn't immediately more.
Post-listening, I do have my quibbles and dislikes. But while I was listening (bar one story-line which annoyed me and I will rant about in a bit), I was completely enthralled.
Minor spoilers (and a content warning for the third episode) follow.
