My Review of the Big Finish adventure Blue Forgotten Planet # 126 featuring Colin Baker as the 6th doctor and India Fisher in her final adventure as Charley Pollard is available at Amazon.com here.

This marks the end of the Incredible 10 year continuous run of Charley Pollard as the companion of the doctor in new adventures. This is the longest run of any character or Actor in any of the various series. From Storm Warning

Copyright Colin Brockhurst

to The Girl who never was she was in every 8th doctor adventure. Once she was paired with Colin Baker in the Condemned, for two years with only a single exception (Assassin in the Twilight) she was the companion for every 6th doctor in the series until this one.

Ironically if you are a big finish regular you saw that Blue Forgotten Planet was actually scheduled for adventure # 114 or so. The title was up but no details were there. This was because Charley was meant to have 3 adventures with the 6th Doctor and that would be it, but the response was so great and popular that Blue Forgotten Planet disappeared from the schedule and Charley traveled on.

Charley is actually going to return in the first 8th doctor companion chronicles later this year Solitare so we haven’t seen the last of India or Charley, but it’s been a great run and some great fun.

I can’t believe that I had to go to the comments section of Legal Insurrection…

…to find out my hometown paper endorsed Scott Brown.

We are endorsing Scott Brown for the U.S. Senate because we believe he is capable of bringing a common-sense approach to Washington, D.C., focused on serving the people of the state who are struggling to get by, rather than the special interests in the Democratic machine of which Coakley is such a big part of.

I don’t remember the last time they backed a republican. Read the whole thing, it sounds like a point by point indictment of Coakley.

The funny thing is I picked up the paper at 7:30 for Stacy but we never got the chance to read it.

And as Mayor Wong was at the Coakley rally I see the endorsement didn’t effect her opinion.

Answer: There is none. He is exactly the same only louder.

Q: What is the difference between Robert Stacy McCain when he is making a political point and when you are in a bar with him while he is holding court and having a few?

Oh and BTW while we were at the Boarder Grille and Bar in Leominster first for supper and then for beer there was one interesting change. As I’ve mentioned before, everywhere I go I ask the people what they think of the election and what people are saying about it. The bar was the first time that a person told us that people were talking about the race.

And what did young lady of a bartender say? Everybody hates Martha Coakley and likes Scott Brown.

The times they are a-changin!

Update: One disadvantage of posting at 2 a.m. when you have been up since 6 a.m. and driving all around the state is you forget your manners, I didn’t give a shout out to the authors of American Glob or Left bank of the Charles who came to Leominster to Join us till the wee hours of the morning. My bad guys the next round is on me.
