She seems to be a little more willing to give it up this time. She seems to be listening to other people more, and isn’t given such complete control as she was before.
The second series of the acclaimed Survivors audios is available from the Big Finish shop, along with all the other current entries in the range.
Audiobook specialists Big Finish have released the first details of series three of their acclaimed Survivors audio adventures – which will be released in November 2015.
