Just watched the latest ep after being very burned out on the show for a long while, it was an extremely good time. Absolute nonsense but extremely fun nonsense and I could watch Sacha Dhawan chew scenery forever.

That said I am extremely upset that we're never going to get a full proper series for Jo Martin's Doctor. She has such an absolutely incredible stage presence and deserves so much better than just playing second fiddle cameos for Jodie.

Good news then, Jo's getting a Big Finish series. (As is Dhawan)

RTD's also writing his first audio with that Dark Seasons set; everything else (his Lost Story, his Novel Adaptation) was done with him overseeing it, with someone else doing the writing.

It has to be a bit; everyone knows that if the Royals actually had the missing eps of DW stashed away, old neckbearded Whovians would have risen up against them in such a way as to make the French Revolution look like a minor dispute between labor and management

But enough about Ian Levine ...

Yeah, I'm pretty psyched for this. Though they've gone from 12 episodes to 9, unfortunately.

I'm seeing the site saying each set is four discs?

Open Source Idiom posted:

Oh sweet, hopefully that's correct (there have been errors on the site a lot recently -- e.g. Scott Handcock being credited twice as the script editor for the first of the new season sets).

I was basing my deduction off price comparison.

BTW, someone really needs to go through and fix the BF credit listings generally. There's a deadnamed author and everything.

I would email their customer service and let them know

I am so far behind on Big Finish.... and I was doing so well till my commute changed!

I did love the River story where she encounters the 6th and 7th Doctors, and as is standard now (or was then) she has to make sure the Classic Doctors have no memory of her, so she tricks the 6th into losing his memory. But when she tries the same on the 7th he keeps easily sidestepping all her ploys and she's getting increasingly frustrated because he 's just very pleasantly and openly telling her,"I can see what you're trying to do, I don't know why you're doing it, but I am having tremendous fun not falling for any of it" and eventually she just has to openly appeal to him to let her "trick" him

I honestly think what BF should have done was established that all the Doctors remember her and their adventures with her, until some point in Ten's adventures where he has all of his memories erased of her prior to "Silence in the Library". That way they don't have to continue coming up with ways for her to constantly erase their memories.

Glad she's still up to doing these. Was worried she might have been getting a bit sick of this role. I know a jobs a job but still. Oh cool! The short trips are definitely a highlight of the big finish output.

"Sick of it"? She literally just wrote a River Song novel!

Lytton should be louder, angrier, and have access to a time machine.

Also whenever he's not onscreen, all the other characters should be asking "where's Lytton?".

You can find out in his comic book written by Eric Saward

Excelis is extremely odd but worth a listen for Giles from Buffy alone

Favorite story from the recording was Head, due to availability, had to record his parts separate, and he was utterly blown away that BF had somehow managed to book The League of Gentlemen's Mark Gatiss to read opposite of him!

edit: speaking of Head

The Complete Jodie Whittaker Years only has a DVD release announced. Boo! Boo, I say!

Meanwhile, the last couple of Missing Episodes releases have only had Blu-Ray releases here in the US.

Elsewhere, the Torchwood audio "The Great Sontaran War" was amazing.
