I've now caught up with the whole series so far, so here are some of the highlights for me:
~ Rosey's Gretel is hilarious! She captures her shrill annoying quality perfectly, whilst somehow making her quite lovable at the same time. All her scenes are very entertaining.
~ *Love* the rhyming recaps which are so faithful to the real thing! The scripts in general are brilliant - there are moments when it's hard to believe Tim Child isn't actually writing it. You can tell it's put together by devoted fans who know the programme inside out.
~ Jake in particular seems to be a master of voices, he absolutely nails a whole range of characters! You should seriously have your own impressions show!
~ Ross' Giant was excellent too, sounded just like Edmund Dehn.
~ Oooohhh, very nasty sound effect for Gumboil finishing off a dungeoneer!!
~ I LOLed at Treguard's typically bitchy "I'd like to say you did well, but then I'd be lying"! He was so funny in the early days and it comes across very well in the audio series.
~ I loved the bolshy chav team with poor abused Darren! Another favourite was the high-pitched Brummie advisor Lenny, he was great. *g*
~ Really enjoyed the climax of the winning quest. It was much better than the equivalent victory in the TV series!
In conclusion, I think this project captures the spirit of the show beautifully, and it's the next best thing to having new episodes to watch. I'm genuinely impressed, very grateful for your efforts, and I would highly recommend the audio series to everyone! Can't wait to hear the rest.
One thing I would say - personally I preferred the small WMA files that were nice and quick to download! The massive MP3s take much longer, which might put some people off, and I can't hear any noticeable improvement in sound quality (the original versions sounded fine to me). That's just me though. Is it maybe possible to provide both formats, so that people can choose?
