So I just listened to The New Adventures of Bernice Summerfield boxset and of course all the Benny stuff was great but Ace was in the middle of her time on Gallifrey when she showed up and now I have some Thoughts about how this fits in with her appearances in the Gallifrey audios...
A little piece I did based on one of my favourite Big Finish stories, The Rocket Men. (Click for HQ!)
Hey Big Finish fans! I’m updating my wishlist because I’m into Fourth and Fifth Doctor stuff now, but I have absolutely no idea which stories to go for first because there are SO. MANY. Any recommendations? (My fave companions for those Doctors are Romana and Tegan!)
I’m also very interested in listening to some of the Gallifrey audios, but once again I’m at a loss on where to start. Is Weapon of Choice the first one I should listen to?? Do I need to listen to all of them?! And in order??!!!?! I don’t know 😭 (I know I asked a similar question before but I’m a dunce and didn’t tag it so I could find it again.)
Reasons why the next series of The Diary of River Song should be with Tim Treloar and Katy Manning as the Third Doctor and Jo:
- River flirting with Three
- “Unhand me, Madame!” (I can just HEAR it)
- Jo being really annoyed at first by River and her “spoilers” but then teaming up with her to constantly poke fun at the Doctor
- Katy Manning and Alex Kingston in the same room
- River being honoured to meet Jo
- Three being super indignant when River can fly the TARDIS better than he can
- Jo being impressed by River actually knowing how to fly the TARDIS correctly
- River wanting to meet all of the UNIT soldiers, especially the Brigadier
- All of the UNIT soldiers (including the Brigadier) being immediately infatuated with River (but the Brig tries not to show it)
- River using hallucinogenic lipstick on Yates
- Three and Jo meeting River at first because they’re at a dig site/some kind of alien thing crash lands nearby
- River knowing the Doctor instantly; if not by his face, then by his outrageous fashion sense
- KATY MANNING AND ALEX KINGSTON IN THE SAME ROOM
HI BIG FINISH I’M STILL WAITING
Out of all the ways I imagined this story would turn out, I never thought Dante would want River as his consort and the Doctor would be working with would-be rebels to overthrow the Discordia but honestly I can’t wait for the Doctor to come in and steal his wife back from that jerk, I’m so ready
Listening to The Diary of River Song Series 4 and OH MY GOSH I NEVER KNEW HOW MUCH I NEEDED RIVER AND FOUR I’M DYING SOMEONE HELP
Somebody please hit me up with the titles of any and all Big Finish stories with Romana I
I’m listening to Short Trips Volume 1 for the first time and these stories are absolutely wild like
Ian and the Doctor watch an entire alien civilisation rise and fall in the span of a few minutes; Zoe is brought to life by some guy building a sculpture of her out of meat; a lizard alien comes to visit the Doctor in a cottage in Scotland and the Doctor gives him a lump of lead while also fixing a kid’s bike; Leela dies; Nyssa turns the TARDIS into a whale...like what??!??!
GUYS THIS IS HAPPENING FOR REAL WITH JACQUELINE KING AND BERNARD CRIBBINS REPRISING THEIR ROLES AS SYLVIA NOBLE AND WILF!!!!!!!!!
So I just listened to four new (to me) Third Doctor audios and they were all great but dang...The Switching messed me up. That was just totally not okay at all.
Big Finish PSA!
Short Trips sale!! Just got 7 stories (2 of them being Short Trips collections) for $18 👀
Y’ALL The Diary of River Song Series 3 is SO GOOD but no one else is talking about it so I’m just sitting here by myself like
Big Finish PSA!
This includes War Master: Only the Good, Torchwood: Believe, The Diary of River Song Series 3, The Tenth Doctor Chronicles, The Second Doctor Volume Two, UNIT: Cyber-Reality, Ravenous 1, The Third Doctor Adventures Volume 4, The Ninth Doctor Chronicles, and more! It’s a great variety!
So I’ve decided that my favourite Doctor Who trope is the Doctor waiting in one place for several years for his companion
Just finished listening to the Ninth Doctor Chronicles from Big Finish and in the story “The Other Side” Nine waits 28 years to find Rose and I’m not okay
I can’t believe that in The Sleeping City William Russell narrates Vicki stating that Ian doesn’t quite get her voice right
