Second paragraph of third story ("The Bad Guy", by Stephen Fewell):

Another of the Big Finish anthologies, unusually taking the first eight Doctors in chronological sequence with stories about saying goodbye. A strong start and end, with the First Doctor taking Ian and Barbara along Route 66 and the Eighth Doctor re-enacting The Wicker Man with contemporary garden furniture (one for , I think), by Gareth Wigmore and Paul Magrs respectively. The others that grabbed me were an elegiac Fourth Doctor story, “Into the Silent Land” by Steven A. Roman, and a grim Sicth Doctor story by Joe Lidster, “Curtain Call”. In general 2006 seems to have been a good year for the Short trips anthologies, as it was for New Who in general.

Next in sequence of these anthologies is Short Trips: The Centenarian, edited by Ian Farrington, but I read it back in 2010, so I’ll move on to Short Trips: Time Signature, edited by Simon Guerrier.
