This is hard to rate as there are some real delights here, but boy does the whole thing spin out of control by the end. First off, Kingston's River with the Seventh and Sixth Doctor, respectively, works ridiculously well. I could listen to the three of them go at it for days. (Get your mind out of the gutter, Spanky.) AND John Dorney's "Five Twenty-Nine" is as haunting of a story as Big Finish has ever done. It's just beautiful.
That said, about halfway through the third story "World Enough and Time", I went from being pretty elated to this sinking sense of, uh-oh, they don't know where they're going with this.
And, I'm afraid they didn't. If you can unravel the wibbldy-wobbledy timey-wimey goings on here, you're a better man than I, Gunga-Din.
Still, it actually IS a fun listen and Kingston is really terrific from soup to nuts. It just doesn't hold together.

this boxset is really one of my introductions to the old doctors (pre-8) and was a whole lot of fun.
