This is a good point - Big Finish certainly explored some very adult themes in their early years, before the return of the show changed how the BBC oversaw the range. Having said that, Benny always ‘got away’ with more - language, sex, etc. - and I’d argue that her experiences in her final box set…

Plot makes no sense and everyone’s kinda lost. 10/10, one of my favorite big finish audios

Even though I didn’t start with Big Finish until The Light at the End, I do have a real soft spot for Sirens of Time. I don’t disagree with any of your criticism, but I love the interplay between these three Doctors.

I love Oh No It isn't Looking back, it's quite a bizarre start to Big Finish, and it's definitely a bit rough around the edges, but it just works (it helps that I love a panto), and as you rightly point out Lisa Bowerman is brilliant from the start

Its amazing how much this works as a an introduction to Benny and as a solid listen in general. Probably something to do with the panto themeing just being that funny.
