Dr Who Immortal Beloved: Review

My review of the Big finish Audio Drama Immortal Beloved staring Paul McGann as the 8th doctor is now available at Amazon.com here

It’s a pretty good short story, but the more of these short ones I hear the more I think that McGann is wasted on single CD episodes. I would like to see more two CD episodes with him.

A good use of a gift card

Used up a gift card and pickup up a batch of Big Finish Dr. Who’s from Mike’s comics.

By picking up some used or scratch and dent cases managed to get 3 8th doctor cd’s a pair of Davidson’s including the newest featuring the Key 2 Time series and the BBV Rani adventure that they had on sale.

I’ll be giving these a listen for the next day or so I’ll put up some reviews.

Odd enough the release date of Judgement of Isshar is Jan 31st. Mike’s must get them early.

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.
