Can you please make the centipede cop a regular character? He was brilliant!

I'm fairly new to Doctor Who fandom - I came in through the new series, and I'm working my way through the classics, in order (just finished The Krotons!). I've started listening to the 8th Doctor audios (alright, so I broke down and watched the TVM early!), particularly the New EDAs, and I'm aware that the last two stories/three episodes of the current series are sequels, of sorts, to two 4th Doctor serials. My question is, will the fact that I have yet to see these adventures curtail my enjoyment of the audios, or may I freely sample these bits of the Doctor's history out of order, like most sane fans?

You really don't need to have watched those Fourth Doctor episodes to enjoy this two-parter. Nick Briggs has written it in such a way that all is explained to listeners unfamiliar with the returning villain and his female nemeses.

I really enjoyed Sisters of the Flame! After listening to Blood of the Daleks and Horror of Glam Rock I sort of fell of the wagon, as it were. But now I'm back and hoping to fill in some gaps! I jumped in with the newest release and was not disappointed. Being a sequel to one of my favorite Who stories helps, of course (I'm also reading Time's Champion which has been interesting combined with this) and it really is told in such a way that knowledge of the past story doesn't seem necessary. I enjoyed Rosto very much. It was nice to see Lucie's reaction. It was very human and, of course, very racist. I'm glad she was called out on it and apologized, to be sure. I can only imagine how I'd react if I was on the planet of the Earwigs, for instance. Eek. My only complaint is that the wait for the next story seems like an eternity!

Listened to this again last night in preparation for The Vengeance of Morbius (it's August already - where is it!!). I haven't really been gripped by the latest batch of McGanns, although The Zygon Who Fell to Earth and Brave New Town were entertaining enough. Sisters has been the stand out so far - the cast were brilliant. Sheridan was on fine form and her scenes with Rosto were laugh out loud in places. I thought Kenneth Colley was excellent too - the line 'I kneeeeewwwww it...I knew he would be here,' is really spine tingling. Where's Vengeance dammit!! I want it! I want it now!!

Ken was fantastic to work with. I was so excited when he agreed to do it and I know Nick was over-the-moon with Ken's performance.

Perhaps I shouldn't say this, but I have been disappointed with the McGann releases this year - Grand Theft Cosmos being the best so far, but that is only just above average.
However, Sisters of the Flame has knocked the socks of everything 8th Doctor since Human Resources and The Girl Who Never Was. Well done, Mr Briggs; I eagerly look forward to its conclusion.... :-)
