Heh Heh Heh my evil Dr Who plan progresses

My cunning plan to spread the gospel of Big Finish doctor who episodes progresses.

I let her listen to the end of The Girl Who Never was and the First few minutes of The Condemned. She was intrigued.

I have loaned Big Finish Cd’s number 16-19 Storm Warning, Sword of Orion, The Stones of Venice and Minuet in Hell all featuring the 8th Doctor and Charley Pollard to one of my friend’s teenage daughters.

With any luck I will have created another Big Finish fan who will go for the CD’s as much as me. And if she likes them she’ll tell her friends and so on and so on and so on.

Thus my cunning plan to assure that sales of Big Finish episodes will continue into old age is assured!

Lousy Timing

Well my subscription to Big Finish’s Doctor Who series has run out. The Timing is pretty bad because there are some really cool things coming up.

First there there is the 3 part Key to Time 2 series featuring the 5th doctor.

Next there is The companion chronicles mini series featuring Polly, The Brigadier and Thomas Brewster in his stolen Tardis. (Takes place between Haunting of Thomas Brewster and The Boy That Time Forgot). These will be 10 minute episodes starting in April at the end of the regular Cd’s.

Lastly a one shot called An Earthly child as the subscription bonus in December Featuring Paul McGann as the 8th doctor and Carole Ann Ford as Susan Foreman. No word on if it is an adaption of the novel.

If I’m very lucky I’ll have a job fast and be able to restart my sub right away. If not then before April so I can subscribe to get the 2nd section.

Otherwise it’s Mike’s comics as funds permit. Their blog is here.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Interview went well in my opinion but dead tired, hitting the sack and listening to the Big finish Doctor who adventure Home Truths. Companion Chronicles 3.5 with Jean Marsh

I’ll likely review it in the next few days.

Dr. Who Irony alert

If you are not a person who follows Doctor Who you might not know that the four seasons of the revived series has one overriding theme. Rose Tyler, played by Billie Piper.

The doctor meeting, traveling with, slowly falling in love with, losing, tortured over her loss, being pursued by, re-united with, and shot dying in her arms, somehow surviving, and in the end both getting and losing her again at the same time.

So how ironic is it that Billie Piper’s series after Doctor Who was The Secret diary of a Call Girl and the newly chosen 11th doctor not only meet, bed each other (without payment) he uses his powers of deduction to solve a mystery.

They also appear together in a show called The Ruby in the smoke and actually flee from an explosion together.

Talk about typecasting!

Two notes:

#1 As the title might suggest any link to the Call girl series may have content that is not work safe or not proper for younger readers, follow at your own risk.

#2 As time permits I may add You Tube clips concerning the Doctor Who stuff so this post may change as the day goes on.
