My Review of Big Finish’s Companion Chronicles 3.1 The Drowned World featuring veteran actress Jean Marsh as Sara Kingdom companion of the 1st Doctor is available at Amazon.com here.
I strongly suggest that before you consider buying this episode you go to the Mike’s comics web site and pick up the episode Home Truths which comes before it. Remember they offer free shipping for any cd order over $60.
My review of the Big Finish adventure Doctor Who adventure number #70 Unregenerate featuring Sylvester McCoy as the 7th doctor and Bonnie Langford as Melaine Bush is available at Amazon.com here.
This is an excellent example of a so so story being made pretty good by a cast that knows what they are doing.
Another odd thing about the 7th Doctor Mel adventures are the timelines, in most of the Big Finish adventures the come in sequence in the sense that the big finish adventures with the same companion follow each other sequentially. For whatever reason the Mel adventures with the 7th doctor don’t follow that rule (check out Wikipedia for the sequencing.)
I have absolutely no explanation for that and it’s not all that important but it is interesting.
…is exactly what the world needs more of these days, but I see that commentator Ayla was way ahead of me on this.
I hadn’t plugged Rich’s Comic blog for a bit. If you like good drawn art, fun stories and Dr. Who it is the place to be.
He is only 18 pages into his latest Dr. Who tale so you won’t have much to Catch up on.
If you want a sample of his work here is a bit from his 10 Ten Doctors with Sound added by a fan:
I recommend all of his work, just click on his comics archive and read em all.
If it was in book form it would be what I want for Christmas.
At about 3:20 p.m. today my oldest son sat down to each an early supper since he had to work tonight at 5. He then told me something he had seen on the Life Dr. Who and Combom site concerning the Royal Mint coming out with Dr. who coins.
I checked out the Royal mint site and sure enough they have medals of base medal coins of the <a 
href=”http://www.royalmint.com/store/Medals/DRWDTBU.aspx”>10th doctor, K9 and the Daleks for £9.95 each (about $16.41 each. I also noticed that they had Silver medals of the Doctor and the Daleks at £35 ( 57.75 each) and a full Gold medal of the Doctor and the Daleks at £150 each ($247.50)
The Silver medals are limited to 5000 each and the Gold to 500. causing me to regret not having large sums of disposable income because they will turn over VERY quickly.
I gave a call to the mint and the lady there told me that they were absolutely swamped. They hadn’t even gotten the medals in the the computer system yet so all the orders were on paper. I picked up 2 each of the base metal ones and one each of the silver. Can’t afford the gold which is a shame because I don’t think they will last past tomorrow if even. 
Like the 1st year issue quarter sovereigns if I was working I would have picked up a few to sit on but I can’t justify the expense without work and don’t want to teach my kids speculation when money is tight.
If you want some for yourselves I wouldn’t wait for the day to end.
