The owls are not what they seem.

As it's finally come out in the UK (which has had the first season for years, but nothing else) I bought the rather gorgeous Twin Peaks "definitive gold box edition" set, meaning that I'm finally able to see the 90s equivalent of Lost, something I've wanted to do for years. I mean, David Lynch doing a TV series? Who wouldn't want to watch that?

It's

Pretty much word to nearly everything you said about Benny. Lisa Bowerman is *so* great in that part that I probably like her even more than a few of the audio Doctors. Where the series really gets good though is the fifth series. I'm in the middle of the sixth one at the moment... and there wasn't a single weak one since then.

I'm not really sure about "Death and the Daleks", though. It might actually be a good story... but I couldn't really get into it because of the weird casting for some of the characters. As you said, young Ms Jones, what the heck? o_O And baby screams for Peter also were somewhat off and didn't fit after what you read about him in the book before.

But anyway, I love this range more and more with each passing season and book. :D It's like a... mad Douglas Adams-universe, just with a serious twist. Why does nobody make it into a TV show? Grah, I'd love to see that!

And... ah, Twin Peaks! &hearts I'm old enough to have actually SEEN it when it was on for the first time, though I was probably too young for it at the time to really grasp it. :D Bob scared me shitless... and the last episode in particular scarred me for life. *lol*

"The Eleventh Hour" was exactly what I needed after the last two years of New Who exhausted me so much. Bless the Moff Smith times. ;)

Honestly, I think the Benny range is probably better than the main Doctor Who range. It's certainly more consistent in quality. And Lisa Bowerman is always, always brilliant, yes. I'm halfway through the fifth series (pausing to read A Life Worth Living) and both plays have been excellent, especially The Bone of Contention.

Yeah, I thought Peter was supposed to be older than a baby judging by Life During Wartime, but I thought it was best not to dwell on it and young!Ms. Jones and had a blast. I especially loved Benny's speech to the Daleks about how rubbish they could be.

It'd be a perfect TV series, it really would. Someone needs to make it happen, because the characters and the setting and the general universe of it is amazing and crying out for a TV version.

Bob is supremely scary. And I can't wait to see the final episode, I've heard that it's seriously fucked-up and I'm dying to find out why.
