Speaking of Dr. Who…

Billie Piper is dropping hints that a movie is on the way…

via Planet Gallifrey, one of the best Dr. Who sites out there.

One thing to remember here in the US Dr. who has its followers (like myself the old PBS crowd) but in England it has been an institution for 47 years. Even during the period when it was off the air it was known and toys, books, a movie and audios kept it alive.

If you say the word “Dalek” to an American odds are they won’t know what you are talking about. It would be almost impossible to find an Englishmen who could say the same.

Doctor Who Ringpullworld: Amazon Review

My review of the Big Finish companion Chronicles # 4.5 RingPullworld is available at Amazon.com here.

You will note that the image at Amazon doesn’t match the image here. That is because they put “placeholder” images before the actual covers are released and whoever is selling the copies on Amazon never updated the image to show the proper doctor or the proper cover. This is in fact a 5th doctor adventure featuring his companion Turlough.

Doctor Who; The Condemned: Amazon Review

My review of the Doctor Who Big Finish adventure # 105 The Condemned, staring Colin Baker as the 6th Doctor and India Fisher as Charley Pollard is available at Amazon.com here.

This is the very first Big Finish audio I ever heard. 180 audios later it is still my favorite. I was very lucky to start out with this one as Eddie Robson has proved to be the best writer of Doctor Who audios that I’ve yet to hear.

Doctor Who the Holy Terror: Amazon Review

My review of the Big Finish adventure #14 Doctor Who the Holy Terror featuring Colin Baker as the 6th Doctor and Robert Jezek as Frobisher the Whifferdill (in his usual Penguin form) is available at Amazon.com here.

Check out the trailer at the Big Finish site. This is one of the funniest yet profound episodes of the entire run. It is the also the only regular episode of the run that featured Frobisher (a second episode The Maltese Penguin was a special release). I hope we can see him return from his 8 year absence sometime in 2011 or perhaps in a companion Chronicles release.

As always both episodes as well as the entire Big Finish Run are available by mail order via Mike’s Comics of Worcester.
