No, it is Toby Jones.
Nick Briggs was quite quick to point out that he was not playing The Dream Lord.

BF don't have the licence for 9th-11th Doctor (and Torchwood) and characters featured therein for the audio format. That licence is held by AudioGo (or whatever the BBC Audio company is currently called).

That is a nice cover image, I likes that. Quite like the idea of updated the McGannDoc look significantly. He is the one Big Finish Doctor where it feels like they can get away with it in the frame of the fiction fairly easily.

Well technically he was there for Zagreus, but I like to pretend that never happened.

I have 162 BF audios in my download folder, plus some CD only titles. Many of these I am stockpiling for Winter nights. I am sorted for quality Whodios and the like.

I would rather have a loan of DEATH TO THE DALEKS. No DVD's for me for a while due to assorted costs of planned trips!

Zagreus likes the Grateful Dead,
Zagreus on pakora fed,
And drunk Tweets that he is making

Zagreus buys Green Lantern toys,
Zagreus loves all the McCoys,
Zagreus has a Scottish poise,
And a Stardub he's recording.

Bargain! Put in an order for physical copies of Love and War and the Dark Eyes boxset whilst I was there too.

Yeah, Twenty squid for a boxset of new McGann stuff (Dark Eyes) was a no-brainer for me.

In other news, I was intrigued by the mention in Gallifrey Guardian that BF have got Lord Tom doing an audio version of Treasure Island as Long John Silver. Had a look on the website. A cheap £9 for the download version, great cast and one of Ralph's favourite childhood tales meant that before I knew it I had pre-ordered it in a red haze. bigfinish.com/releases/v/treasure-island-838-Ralph On the topic of Doctor Who provoking reactions - I have been listening to the Big Finish 7th Doc/Ace/Hex play "Protect and Survive", or at least the first two episodes. As a child who grew up feeling the spectre of nuclear annihilation quite strongly there are some incidental moments that genuinely have me shivers - I am no longer afraid of Cybermen, but deliberatly obfuscative Government advice about how the population should survive a Nuclear War.. Now that puts the wind up me. Karl |

Audio wise, I have a stockpile of Companion Chronicles and Main Range Big Finish stories to tide me through the Winter nights ahead. Been catching up on The Rejected Stories Series 3* and Counter-Measures Series 1 of late. The first two runs of The Rejected Brief Summaries Found On The Back Of A Fag Packet were rather variable. They were either really rather splendid ( Farewell Great Macedon, the 4th Doc Box Set, Leviathon) or pretty terrible beyond belief ('Season 27', The Hollows of Time). The third run is much better (though avoid Power Play like the plague - oh, Deborah Watling...). The Guardians of Prophecy is pretty enjoyable until half-way through when Stephen ' Omega The First, Azal, Eldrad The Second' Thorne turns up and does That Performance and it just gets great with legions of Melkurs roaming about and killing people to death and everything. He even gets to shout: "WHAT IS THIS?!" just like Omega in The Three Doctors. Also, The First Sontarans is utterly brilliant, though to say why gives away what makes it great. But suffice to say it has a great sense of escalation in the story, constantly surprises and the origin of the Sontarans is while on one hand not the most original idea in the world the way it is done is bloody clever. Plus, at long last we get full-on Rutan V Sontaran action ! Counter-Measures Series 1 suffers from pilotitus and is all over the shop. Like Jago & Litefoot, it tries to take some characters from a popular TV story and builds a format for an audio series around them: in this case Chunky Gilmore and the scientists from Remembrance of the Daleks who investigate strange goings-on in 1964 England. You can hear the groaning noises as the writers desperately try to figure out why it should exist and what makes it different from UNIT or Torchwood. It took a while to gel with me and I did have to go back to story 1 again before I 'got it' but the roughness gives it a certain charm and the second and third stories are genuinely really very good. The fourth isn't too bad either. It also sounds black and white. I think it has a lot of potential and it's worth it for Hugo Ross alone as the 'Is he or isn't he a bit evil?' civil servant boss of the group. I'll give the second series a go in 2013, I think. -Ralph *AKA The Lost Stories |
