Review by Jacob Licklider
The Stuff of Legend is an interesting release from Big Finish Productions, at least in terms of what it is. Big Finish began working on Doctor Who 25 years ago and to celebrate in September they hosted multiple live performances of this audio drama. As a celebration, it’s a great idea to get people together for an exclusive event. This review, however, is not of the live show of The Stuff of Legend, I am an American so had no real way of being there. This is a review of the studio version released the same day as the live show premiered so the rest of the world could hear it. It’s a great way to keep the story available outside of the few able to get tickets, however Big Finish then made the decision as well to record the live version which is also available to purchase, meaning that several die hard fans will definitely be double dipping (though there are at least some cast differences and the atmosphere between the versions will likely be different). If you are using this review to determine whether or not you should purchase the studio version of The Stuff of Legend it is imperative that you understand that this is a version professionally recorded in studio and as such will not have the feeling of the live performance. This is also a review limited in ability to determine which version you should be purchasing as I have not heard the live version.
