Ha, you're right! Classic Who does do that. Lots of "Doctor! It's coming right for us!" and such. I do notice it there, but tend to just sort of mentally roll my eyes affectionately at it and move on. Honestly, when it comes to the audio thing, the issue may be more in my brain than anything. Having somehow primed myself to notice it in audio and then dwell on it in irritated fashion, I can't not do so, and thus just break my own immersion, hurting no one but myself. Stupid brain...

Anyway, it's not like I've never enjoyed an audio drama, otherwise. I'm a big fan of Welcome to Night Vale, although they take the useful approach of turning that particular problem into a feature, with a perfectly good in-universe reason for a character to be describing things to the audience directly. But I also listened to the Good Omens radio adaptation a while ago and liked that a lot, too. And I have enjoyed at least some of the Big Finish stuff I've listened to well enough.
