If you're still after suggestions for later, The Space Museum has a lot that makes me smile but I know it's not really a popular serial.

it's good to point out that Lovecraft was a hateful poo poo, but it feels kind of empty doing so while putting out stories where the Doctor uncritically pals around with Winston "Famine or no famine, Indians will always breed like rabbits (so we'll just let 2 million of them starve to death)" Churchill

That's why you just don't directly involve the man at all.

Davros1 posted:Big Finish to end the monthy range in 2021, replacing it with rotating boxsets It's been a couple of years since I regularly bought any Big Finish, but when I did I would buy box sets that interested me pretty much the month they came out if not day of release, while individual story release like the monthly range, Early Adventures, and the 4DAs (before it moved to boxes too) I'd wait and pick up when they went on special. Maybe their sales data says that more of their customers are trending that way and they're hoping to capture more regular sales from folks with that kind of buying habit

I can't really think of a combination of words that excite me less than "faces his old enemies, the Daleks, in the Time War" at this point tbh. Short Trip stories with the Ainley and Delgado Masters are interesting, tho

jivjov posted:They're aiming for that mass appeal audience here. 8 is the kinda the "face" of Big Finish doctors, and Daleks are /the/ Doctor Who enemy for sure, i understand the why, it's just that, like, the Eighth Doctor Time War series hasn't even finished yet and I'm personally kind of over Daleks and the Time War for the moment so Big Fin's contribution to Timelord Victorious being "the Eighth Doctor... against the Daleks... in the Time War" really isn't up my alley though I do still have to listen to Susan's War, that's one i'm keen for

content from this week's Popbitch mailout:

Big Finish has three dozen recent boxsets back at their preorder prices (the code to access is "RETRO") which isn't the most exciting sale, but since I didn't grab the fourth David Bradley set before the price increased and am interested in a sequel to The Daleks (assuming it continues on from that story's depiction of them as survivalists rather than universal supremacists) and a historical with the Romanovs I figured I might as well grab that even though Twice Upon a Time really soured me on that take on the First Doctor (admittedly due more to Moffat's writing than the performance) and the third McGann Time War set since I have the first two so I might as well finish the series out with this and when the fourth one comes out even though I'm pretty whatever about Time War stuff at this point. Unrelated to the sale, and far more enthusiastically than I made those first two purchases sound, I figured I should probably grab Susan's War before that goes up in price since I love Carole Ann Ford and William Russel and A Heart on Both Sides so I need to hear more from that These three box sets are probably more than I've bought from Big Finish altogether in the past two and a half years lol

Davros1 posted:And of course, there's the famous Tom story of meeting with Nick Briggs and David Richardson to talk about ideas for series 1 and 2 of the Fourth Doctor adventures. Tom had a legal pad full of story ideas that he read off of, and later, when Tom was out of the room, Nick took a peek at it to make sure he hadn't missed anything. The pad was blank. That man is such a treasure

jivjov posted:I find myself somewhat disappointed that the other two Out of Time stories are also 10 tales. I love 10....but would have much preferred to see teamups of like...9 and 6 or 11 and 7. Guess it's the same reason the Daleks keep popping up everywhere...the popular characters sell. After they announced that Eccles was going to be working with them I did start to wonder if maybe they'd been holding back on announcing the rest of Out of Time because he might be involved with that, but I honestly can't be disappointed that we're getting Tennant with the living classic Doctors instead. I guess the only thing I could say is that him with his father in law again instead of McCoy is a bit of a bummer, unless these were done when Sylv was unable to record because of lockdowns

Yeah, I feel like the War Doc is best left where he is now. It was one thing when we actually had John Hurt around to play the Doctor in audios set during the war itself, and Day itself was obviously a special case, but him interacting with other Doctors after that feels like it would kind of go against the "mythologising" that those that come after him have been doing prior to that point (which they then learn in Day was wrong and the result of misunderstood trauma and stuff) Though I can't lie and say that if Hurt was still with us I wouldn't love a one off with him and McGann together

I can't pretend like I'm not guilty given I've bought a couple of the First Doctor and Third Doctor Adventures but I just don't really feel this. Like, if it was going to be something in the style of the Companion Chronicles or Early Adventures then yeah, I don't know that I really need these stories but I like that format so I'd possibly be receptive to the idea of more War Doctor stories told that way. I just, knowing that the recasting debate is kind of old hat at this point, feel like regeneration is already the show's built in means of recasting and that "recasting" a particular incarnation of the Doctor is really missing the point. They already recast Bill Hartnell, that was how we got Patrick Troughton's Doctor Who

I feel like Jack showing up again in the holiday special was kind of an open secret given how insubstantial his appearance in s11 was but it's nice to have official confirmationThe_Doctor posted:But the boxsets seem like they’re more exclusory than the main range? Single CD story releases surely trump multiple CD boxsets which have ongoing boxset continuity? I don't know what BigFin's data says their usual consumer does, but personally when I was buying their stuff more regularly I would only pick main range titles up when they were on sale but if a box set interested me I tended to buy it straight away.

I get the cultural cache represented by the show having the Christmas slot or whatever, but as an Australian viewer the specials were, like, "The Christmas Invasion tacked onto the start of series 2 when that started in July 2006" for the first couple of years and then a month or two after the UK airing on a nondescript January day before finally settling onto Boxing Day broadcasts in the Smith years so the whole "New Years Special instead of Christmas special" has always been kinda to me Except that it means I have to wait an extra week to watch it

I'm pretty indifferent to where things eventually went last series but gosh that buildup and reveal to the Ruth Doctor was so darn good. It really deserved a better story And the timeless whatever will never be worse than the looms purely because it doesn't undo Susan being the Doctor's actual granddaughter. That's my one unbreakable line
