Jenny, UNIT, River Song, Counter-Measures–a Big Finish sampler

In the wake of the whole COVID-19 pandemic, Big Finish–most famous for their original and licensed Doctor Who audios–began to release a variety of projects for free on a weekly basis.  On top of that, they’ve also had other bits and pieces from their catalog available to sample.  Some of these are “proper” Doctor Who adventures, some are licensed from other sources, and others are completely original.  This time around we’re looking at a bunch that are Doctor Who-related, but all featuring side-characters from the series.  Spin-offs, basically.

Big Finish has been pretty generous with all this free product, but each one also serves as a sampler to tempt me to buy other material.  Do they work?
