I appreciate very much Johnny's work. My comments are just on narr audio.
Im sure many like the narr & while in theory its not a bad idea. what I notice is that its hard to get "involved" in the story, because when the narrator starts. it changes from being involved in the show to the position of the narator. If this happened ocasionally, it might not be as bad. But it changes back and forth between positons often where its difficult to follow, Subtitles or less narr would be less abstrusive.
I actually like the narration better. It's feels like a story book and doesn't have lengthy silence. And you can better understand what's going because you have the narration tell you. It's not like an audio drama where the characters speak aloud every action they are doing. Thank you for these.
Thanks for the recon. My only desire is that it had the real soundtrack (not narriated or edited). The talking distracts from it to me. That being said, great job.
@GeorgeAD4 Thanks for the comment. As a matter of fact, I too was "narration-phobic" to begin with. My first few recons (Marco Polo, The Crusade, The Ice Warriors) were narration-free - you may enjoy them more. After them, I pretty much ran out of good-quality narration-free soundtracks, so I reluctantly turned to the narrated ones. However, the narration has generally proven popular, going by the comments I have received.

Thanks for all your work! It's great to see this with crisp photos -- I can finally see Bragen's fascist uniform and Troughton's hat!
