Wow, Romana and Leela and K9 and another K9!

Where do you get these Big Finish CDs from? Amazon don't seem to stock them, and I don't remember having seen any in shops.

Try the big finish website. I can't remember the URL but a quick search in google will point you in the right direction.

You can also buy them from Play.

They also have the four (living) pre-eccleston Doctors reprising their roles. Paul McGann has shown that given more time, he'd have been a formidable Doctor. And "Colin Baker in good Doctor" shock

Aren't there five living pre-Eccleston Doctors? Or have I missed some bad news about Tom Baker?

He actually wasn't too bad in Attack of the Cybermen...

That reminds me! A little while back I did read there were some good Big Finish Cybermen stories, got all interested and tried to order some, but couldn't find who sold them and gave up. There we go, I can start there.

Fecking work pc

now I'm home :-

Apparently Tom Baker has repeatedly refused to do any Big Finish audio's. Why? I don't know. I would have thought that a regular gig would have been nice for him and that he could pretend to be forty again in a role that he admitted was the best of his career.

It's a shame because his non-appearance limits the assistant's appearances too. Liz Sladen has reprised her SJS role but in a spin-off rather than "timeline" appearance. Ditto with Lalla Ward and Louise Jameson. I read that getting Tom would have been their greatest achievement but knowing a little about his temperament, I'm not surprised. It's a pity though

Should be interesting to see where they take this tonight. I believe the concept is based on Japanese mythology, indeed there was a similar story in Usagi Jojimbo about three years ago.

In that story, a man made a pact with an evil god so that he could produce wonderful pictures. The god in its amusement turned him into a painting set, and everything that was produced via it came alive. Sound familiar from the preview so far?

If I recall, there was a similar story way way back in TMNT near their start in the mid 80s with a pencil that made things come alive...

Indeed this "arc" carried forward 20 years and it was recently revealed in the comic that April O'Neal herself was "born" from this pencil. Far out stuff...

Well, that was shite. Apart from the last 10 seconds, and the preview of next week.

It seems that after letting a 9-year old come up with the monster for last week, they went all the way and let a 9-year oold write the script this week.

Please don't make me watch it again. Ever.
