A friend of mine from England sent me a tape of the Doctor Who radio
series, entitled "Slipback" I believe, and I quite enjoyed it.
Certainly, it was geared for a younger audience, and it gets rather
silly at times.  But, like Doctor Who in general, if you don't try to
take it too seriously, it's a lot of fun.

For me, the biggest problem with the radio series is Peri's voice.
She's always sounded like fingernails on a blackboard to me, but it's
far more easily tolerated when watching episodes than when just sitting
and listening to a tape.  I suppose the British don't notice as all
Americans sound that way to them!  

I haven't seen of heard of the publicity photo Will mentions and find it
quite shocking.  I don't think the episodes with Peri imply any sexual
relation with the Doctor, although she's obviously there as a sex object
for the male audience, so I'm rather surprised that the BBC would make
such a photo.  Wasn't it they (or was it John Nathan-Turner) who said,
"No hanky-panky in the TARDIS"?
