I enjoyed Big Finish's Judge Dredd audio dramas, despite their flaws.
But this production REALLY annoyed me! The characters spoke in really stupid voices. Dredd sounds like Popeye if he smoked too much, and don't get me started on Walter the Wobot! 😡
The supporting characters such as the mutants and citizens of the Big Meg are no better either. They all talk in dopey stupid voices that sound like the Brain Specialists from Monty Python.
You know when a child does silly voices and you tell him or her to stop it? Imagine two hours of that.
But the only saving grace is Judge Caligula. He's wonderfully camp and so in love with himself that it's hilarious! His best friend is a fish and he makes strange demands. The actor playing had such fun camping it up.
The sound effects are also fine.
"The Day The Law Died", you're guilty for being annoying! That's ten years in the Iso-Cubes! Judge Cal, you're free to go, though.
Court is adjourned.
