I imagine it'll take them a little while to really feel out what they can do (and what the BBC will let them do) with the revival, but it's a start.

NO. get that fuckin not-rory horseshit out of here thexerox123 Well on the plus side, David Tennant has a history with Big Finish and provided his schedule allowed it I don't doubt he'd be more than happy to do some 10th Doctor audios with them should they get the license. Then they could do 10th Doctor/Rory adventures!

...Yeah, it's pretty common now for the question "Where should I start with Who?" to be answered with "Eleventh Hour".

Really you should watch through series 4, then go back and watch every classic episode (including the reconstructions!!!!!!!!!), then listen to all the audios. Only then can you touch 5 and beyond.

Basically never watch season 5. You will experience substantially less disappointment in the rest of the series. I think the first season did a number of things right in reviving the show. It was exactly the right way to re-introduce Doctor Who to a new generation. (Looking at the proposals for what would have happened had the TV-movie actually resulted in a series is like finding out that the mosquito that you thought you heard was actually a bullet that just missed your head.) But yeah, seriously, nowadays, start with The Eleventh Hour. It does all those correct things and is also about a thousand percent better. (And I say this as someone who doesn't really have a problem with Rose, or with Davies.) And hell yeah, your reviews have been a joy to read, and I'm glad you've done them.

I still quite like season one (and especially the overarching, possibly* unintended storyline of Rose through seasons one and 2) but yeah, goddamn that season has visibly not aged well, it looks a hell of a lot older than 10 years. * Almost certainly probably.

Are there any details available in the wider world about how Big Finish's Doctor Who licence works with the BBC financially? Do they pay a lump sum for the rights to use the characters, or does the BBC take a cut of Big Finish profits?
