Great adventures, super old school but keeps you interested until the end.

It may lack a bit of description and goes slightly too fast imo but still a great listen!

Liked the idea of a more modern Dan Dare. Still prefer the 60's comics though. Well, we all have favourites (even if they don't match what we remember.

Dan Dare updated from the Eagle comics.

Really vintage sci-fi revamped. Full cast and well acted. Would love to hear more.

Back to 50s science fiction!

What did you like most about Dan Dare: The Audio Adventures - Season 1?

Not much. As a former avid reader of the Eagle comic, Colonel Dare did not come across as the dashing daredevil I remembered. Instead he was irreverent and irresponsible. The other characters were good. The storylines were adequate but lacked enthusiasm, What disappointed me most was the atrocious sound effects which was like watching television with the picture off. They did not appear to relate at all to the storyline. In fact, they were more of a distraction than in any way contributing to the story.

Would you be willing to try another book from the authors? Why or why not?

I hope another series is produced, but I would suggest the technicians go back to sound school - try listening to superb BBC drama and try to produce something that at least resembles professional broadcasting

What does the narrators bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

I think extra narration would have been good. At least they might be able to explain what was happening during the sequences filled with meaningless sound effects

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No

Any additional comments?

Try and change what appeared to be amateur dramatics to something more professional

Not what I expected

This was an enjoyably piece of escapism, with very good voice acting and a pleasingly nostalgic style. 5/5.

Good fun.

Was disappointed with this adaptation. Can't fault the performances as they are first rate but the stories lack the punch I remember from Dan Dare's adventures in The Eagle. Although even further removed from the original the animated adventures of Dan Dare explore the characters much better than this and is a better buy.

Not as good as the Eagle originals.
