I LOVE THIS LIKE PIE! Everything about it is perfect - thank you so much ♥

[purple_bug]

I'm so, so glad you like it :oD Pie is a big compliment :o) x

I adore this.

Their interactions are pitch-perfect. And this: Next thing I know, fifth gear is half the speed of light and the left indicator takes me forward in time ♥

[purple_bug]

Hee, I liked that line too. Thank you, you've really made me smile :oD

WONDERFUL! Benny & Christina are such a perfect pairing but Ihadn't considered it before. Love the banter, the flirting and the danger.

Lots of fun.

[purple_bug]

Thank you :oD I do tend to write the "why didn't I think of that before" pairings, don't I? :o)

This is adorable. Thank you for sharing! <3

[purple_bug]

Thank you :oD

Aw. That is adorable. I don't know Benny, not having read/listened to any non-TV canon, but Christina seems spot-on (particularly the lines about the Two Hundred, as others have mentioned). I'm waiting for the moment when they both realize they knew a bloke who went by the Doctor . . .

[purple_bug]

Thanks :oD I'm glad you think Christina turned out okay :o) And yeah, I liked writing that bit. It's weird how quickly you get attached to a red double-decker, isn't it? :oD
I'm sure they'll figure out the shared friend sooner or later :o) They have a habit of not doing that in Benny's stories, though :o) There's kind of a rule about not explicitly mentioning the Doctor in the books, and it sorta carried over into Big Finish, despite the fact that they have the rights to use the Doctor's name.
You should try and listen to some - start with Oh No It Isn't!, if you can, it's hilarious :o)

I'm on the very verge of ending my audio virginity-listened to about 20 mins. of "Master" so far. We'll see if I have the attention span to get around to the rest ;) It has a virtually-human Master in it, and that's a very difficult thing to resist.

Props are awesome, and very easy to get attached to. Especially ridiculous-time-travel-vehicle props.

Ooh, that's a good one. Dead spooky. For the attention span problem, I recommend listening to them on an mp3 player, while walking or on a long bus/train/car journey. That's how I listen to most of them. I used to have a three hour round trip to and from work, on foot, (and I was allowed to listen to my mp3 player while doing my job, which was data entry) so I went through a lot of audios while I worked there :o)
