Still less irritating than the Frobisher voice :colbert:

I will not stand for such slander against Robert "Zbrigniev" Jezek, genuine Canadian American.

Yeah, like... it sort of works because Frobisher learned to be a Bogart-like detective by osmosis but boy howdy is it annoying.

Whether you like the Holy Terror is entirely whether the child voice is creepy (it was for me) or silly (as it is for some people), and that's okay. It's a matter of taste and neither viewpoint is wrong, and like all Big Finish, the reason it works so well for some is that it took a huge risk.

I'm a little of both columns. Holy Terror is the audio where I jumped fully on-board the Big Finish fan train*, but I still think the child's voice is a tad goofy.

*also when I jumped on board the Colin Baker-is-awesome train. Catching Terror of the Vervoids on PBS as a kid in the early 90s didn't leave me with the best first impression.

Just listened to "Dalek Empire" part one, episode one, and liked it a lot. How's the rest of it?

I last listened to it almost a decade ago so memories are hazy, but I remember it taking some really crazy turns once the Dalek's plan is revealed. Some of them I liked, some of them I thought were just weird.

And yes, as was said before it is a very different genre from what you might be used to in Doctor Who. It felt more like Blake's 7 overall. Blake himself is even in it!
