Great stories but some narration a little off

Loved the stories, The stones of Blood has always been one of my favourites, unfortunately you couldn't really tell it was the fifth doctor. Again with Ghost Light, only this time it was Ace, which although you definitely knew it was her she had a highly annoying deep voice making her sound male.

I couldn't fault the narration for the other stories, but Tom Baker is always spot on, and David Troughton is always good, especially when playing his father.

Definitely Worth listening to, I'm certainly glad I did and will be returning to it in the future.

The Good, The Average and The Oh Dear!

First 3 books I really enjoyed. Fury being one of my all-time favourites along with Pyramids. Stones being for me the best of the Key to Time saga. David Troughton, Tom Baker were of course excellent narrators and Susan Engel did a fantastic job with Stones, very easy to listen to. From there on the quality of the stories begin to decline. Nerys Hughes however does Sterling work in trying to bring to life the written version of a fairly average Davison era story which I found hard to stay with. Ghost Light I really struggled with. To be honest I had just about given up on Who by the time of McCoys final season and l think I watched about 10 minutes of Part 1 of GL. The audio story for me was complete and unadulterated trash with a very anti - Christian, left-wing, liberal agenda that was constantly promoted throughout.( I may have been a bit more forgiving if the overall story had been even average.)
But I endured to the end. Ian Hogg I found difficult to listen to but that said, any narrator would have struggled with that one. The bizarre thing is is that was written by Marc Platt who also penned Spare Parts for Big Finish which is my favourite BF production. Anyway there you go.
