not like they couldn't use that cozy backdrop for some drama or weird scifi or fantasy plot, even horror, anything really. the wild swings in tone is what makes doctor who.

throw johnny appleseed into one of the bathrooms and have em figure out the apple problem by the end you're tearing up because of the beauty of humanity or some poo poo

There's a similar one with Amy I think where the TARDIS shows former companions (Leela gets quite the :laugh: reaction from Amy) and the Doctor mutters something like,"Oh sure, show the girls but not the tin dog thank you very much :colbert:"

Yep. Hell I would've been onboard with the Tennant stunt recasting (temporarily or whatever at least) just because it's something I didn't expect and while seemingly bankrupt creatively, still nothing they've done before so let's do this.

I've returned to cautiously optimistic from my previous "lack of shits to give" from watching Chibnall's era.

Yeah it's pretty terrible.

Honestly, the most consistent range is... and you'll hate to hear it... Torchwood. The Benny stuff is very good too, but they've had a bit of break because of corona (they're back this year though). It's worth checking those out if you're interested, starting with The New Adventures Of Bernice Summerfield (aka the single decent Dalek story in the last ten years or so).

Since BF transitioned to boxsets for most of their other ranges, you're generally stuck with getting one or two good stories packaged with a handful of bad ones, which presents problems.

Some of the Ninth Doctor sets are decent too, though they're not as good as what was on TV IMO. And most things by James Goss or Chris Chapman are worth a look.

They got Eccleston back for their latest 9th DA ranges, and they're both pretty good. The most recent one [Old Friends] has Jonathan Culshaw as the Brigadier and they bring in one of their new UNIT team members for a nice little mix. It's a fun story, even if I think Culshaw's Brig always sounds like young Brig - when he's supposed to be the older retired Brig, it sounds the exact same.

But it's a really good young Brig impression.

I have to go now. My planet needs me.
Looks like BBV might have bitten off more than they can chew this time. Bill Baggs has just released a new installment in his 'Adventures in a Pocket Universe' audio series, which was a 90s series starring K-9 and Lalla Ward as Not Romana for legal reasons in Not E-Space for legal reasons.

The issue is they don't have the rights to K-9 now, so they're replacing him with this....



They've also had the rights to publish stories based on the Brigadier pulled by the rights holder due to the recent hiring scandal, but are still selling them anyway, the same with Faction Paradox.

BBV are fascinating because they're a holdover from the Wilderness Years that Big Finish have made irrelevant, but they still persist. It's hard to find out information about them online because everything is so fragmented and unclear, much like their semi-official Doctor Who content.

Their low budget films are interesting 90s relics, and its a shame its not easier to get hold of them (apparently Baggs has been trying to avoid paying Colin Baker and Nicola Bryant for about twenty odd years now...). What an odd company.
