Bafflegab, the company that makes The Scarifyers, is coming out with a new audio, starring the man himself, as himself, Tom Baker! It's set at Tom's funeral. http://www.bafflegab.co.uk/detail-baker.asp

Hasn't Tom always been like this though? I seem to remember years ago him saying he has his tombstone as a coffee table or something...

Tom was Death once... in the remake of MediEvil they did on the PSP.

Drink him under the table. "What if.." started Tom, thoughtfully. YES? asked Death. The robed skeleton turned from the open doorway, and was a little perturbed to see that the man hadn't automatically followed him. "Well, I couldn't help but wonder. You know, if this is it. The end, as it were. What happens next, eh?" Death tapped the wooden handle of his scythe with a couple of long, slender digits. WHATEVER HAPPENS, HAPPENS. THAT'S UP TO YOU. COME. He turned back and started to walk again. "But there's no guarantee I'll end up somewhere I like, is there?" said Tom to the empty room. Death realised from the volume of the man's voice that he hadn't moved an inch, and walked back to the threshold. "I think what we should do before we go anywhere untoward, is stock up on a little courage. Of the liquid variety. Wouldn't you say?" Tom grinned widely at Death.

CobiWann posted:Did someone say Baker? I only have The Wrong Doctors from this lot. I thought I had Legend of the Cybermen as well, but after checking my account it's actually the later Six/Jamie/Cybermen story, Last of the Cybermen, that I have instead. Tempted to just grab the lot. I'm always keen for more C. Bakes and Fraze together, am interested in seeing (hearing) Mel get the Big Finish rehabilitation treatment, and then just throwing the last few on because you can never have enough Colin Baker.

I can safely say Mel is much more tolerable and actually quite enjoyable with Big Finish. It helps that in all the audios I've heard with her, we only get the "Mel Scream" once and that's during Thicker Than Water when the bad guy throws her down a lift shaft.

Short Synopsis: A slightly mad old man invites his family around for Christmas Dinner to meet the hot young lady he's living with now. Long Synopsis: The Doctor attempts to make up for Lucie Miller's terrible last Christmas AND do some family bonding at the same time with his granddaughter and great-grandson. As problems keep cropping up the Doctor is determined to ignore them in pursuit of a perfect Christmas... as well as make a play for a new companion. What's Good:
What's Not:
Final Thoughts: Relative Dimensions is a solid story that does some things very well but is unsatisfying in others. As a follow-up to the special that introduced the character of Alex, it essentially negates much of what happened in that story. The more interesting familial aspects of the story, the Doctor's obsession, Alex's place in the universe, Susan dealing with her feelings on her departure from the TARDIS etc, don't really get the resolution they deserve. But on the other hand, the central threat of the story is handled expertly, with the resolution well telegraphed, the pacing nailed down just right, and each of the four central characters is put into a position to have a real impact on resolving the threat. There is good chemistry between McGann and Ford, Ford and Smith, and though I've criticized his flatness, in the moments where Alex is just being an ordinary teenager the chemistry between him and the other characters works too. It's just that the story kind of asks for more emotional resonance than it deserves, tries to give depth to a still shallow character that the listeners don't have any real reason to care about, and it wraps things up far too abruptly character wise considering how much it changes up the status quo for the Eighth Doctor Adventures. It is a nice island in the midst of the overall season arc of this fourth season of the EDAs though, it feels like the Christmas Special it is - something fun and enjoyable to listen to that mostly stands apart from the stories around it, to be enjoyed in its own right.

So I was poking around on Audible the other day after noticing I had a few free credits, and it turns out they have quite a few audiobooks read by Doctor Who actors, both classic and new. Would anybody else in this thread be interested in a masterpost of said audiobooks or is that another one of those things nobody cares about but me

Are they audiobooks of old Doctor Who stories, or "just" audiobooks on a variety of subjects that happen to have Who actors narrating them? More importantly, does India Fisher read anything? Because I could listen to her read pretty much anything

Both actually, there are quite a few of the TV series novelizations read by Tom Baker. Also Christopher Benjamin reads The Talons of Weng Chiang . I was referring to non-DW audiobooks though. Also there's a whole series of short kids books read by India Fisher called Spy Dog.

So is he, by the sounds of it... I also finally got around to getting the 10th Doctor audios! I've only just listened to Technophobia, but so far so good! A fairly straightforward story, but a very clever(and frightening) concept, and it's great to hear David and Catherine back together again. As soon as the theme hit I was thinking OH MY GOD, IT'S THE 10TH DOCTOR ON BIG FINISH THIS IS REAL HOLY poo poo! It was a moment I had always wanted since I started listening to Big FInish, but I was never absolutely sure would happen (though as I suspected, from the Nick Briggs anecdote in the Behind The Scenes, David Tennant was sure years ago and very eager to get on with it!)
