b016_storm_big…Ben at Blogging the Classics has been reviewing the Doctor Who Big finish audios apparently in order. His latest review is for #16 Storm Warning.

If you want to get a second opinion on those different Doctor Who audio he is a good place to start. (My review of Storm Warning is available at Amazon.com here)

Oh and to give another Plug to Colin Brockhurst here is his alternate cover for this episode:

Is this guy good or what? I’d like to see his digital covers for Rich’s The Ten Doctors or Forever Janette

Btw worth mentioning that this episode introduces Charley Pollard played by India Fisher who as I’ve mentioned is about to end her record breaking Dr. Who run next month.

Only two weeks to the return of Tom Baker as the Doctor!…

…It’s a really big deal particularly since Baker is the only living ex doctor from the original series that hasn’t done audios since giving up the role, but I have one thing to say to the BBC:

hornet's nest the stuff of nightmares

Don’t you think you could have managed better cover art than this? Take a look at the cover art for the Big Finish series that I’ve reviewed over the last year. There is no comparison.

They should have hired Colin Brockhurst. This is why

…but it seems to me if Al Megrahi has cancer and is going to be dead in three months. Let the Libyans pay for his cancer treatment as he rots.

Under British law the brits would have to pay for his treatment as he dies, why should he get world class healthcare paid for by the people he murdered.

Now if the cancer stuff is a bunch of BS then that would be another story.

OF COURSE they are releasing his for political reasons. That’s how politics and diplomacy is done.

I have absolutely no problem with people who think the other way.

I’ll say this, if they give him a hero’s welcome then I’ll change my mind in a real hurry.

Update: Hero’s welcome I was wrong.

Yes MSNBC will get away with it…

…because they will ignore Fox when they point it out and they and other networks will not report it.

They are marketing to a niche. That niche will make excuses for stuff like this. It will not cost them anything.

I can’t help but remember a bit from Bernie Goldberg’s book Bias where they the video of a story concerning looting after a hurricane because all the people being arrested were black. The reporter was beside himself pointing out that all the police were black too as the nation being covered was predominantly black.

Well if your primary worry is not to be #1 you can make a good living off a niche market.. They will do just fine….

…unfortunately.

Update: Added links of others who commented on it.

Update 2: I still think they will get away with it. Their customer base doesn’t care.
