I think the series it’s self may be in trouble since they just seem to be passing it to a random writer who isn’t that popular with the fans and they are not even bothering to air any new episodes this year. My guess is the BBC is sick of the show and how much it costs to make so they are setting it up to fail so by the time series 11 finishes airing the ratings will be in the toilet and they will have an excuse to cancel it.
On the lighter side of things I was given a humble bumble package of Big Finish audios by a friend for Christmas and some of these I had never heard before. I mean I used to have to import the CDs from the UK back in the day so I didn’t always have the money to keep up.
I just finished listening to the Marian Conspiracy and not only is it a return to the historicals with a new companion and great job done by one of my all time favorite doctors but it is a fair and balanced look at the reformation that doesn’t have any aliens in it that goes beyond the stereotypes and seems to be written by someone who has done their research. Why can’t we have stories like this on the TV series? This was amazing and easily in my top ten Doctor Who stories of all time, if you only ever listen to one Colin Baker audio adventure please make it this one.
I am going to get back into collecting the audio adventure which I had kind of stopped doing in recent years because of a lack of cash but I really want to hear more of them now so I will be spending my limited cash on them. That is just how insanely good this adventure was. I mean there are big budget films that don’t do as good a job of looking at both sides as this adventure did, this was just good writing all around.
