@AudioDramaDirectory I just finished this story and would like to share my initial impressions from someone who's into both audio theater as well as #DoctorWho. On the positive side I liked the acting of the newly regenerated Doctor's character. I won't give away much of the story but it was a refreshing change from many other DW stories for a couple of reasons. Unlike other stories that introduce a new Doctor this incarnation isn't behaving oddly during most of the story. He only collapses once due to his regeneration and his confusion is short-lived. Another thing that makes it refreshing is that it's not the typical alien monsters take over the planet story. Lisa Smith, the new companion, is pretty spunky and has some great dialog with the Doctor when she first realizes that he's an alien. The character of Lisa's mom also gives us some great dialog as well as believable acting. The theme music is reminiscent of that of the TV show but it's different enough to make it stand out. I do have some criticisms, mainly that there were some long, visual scenes without dialog. At times it felt like I was listening to an audio sound track of a TV episode which needed some audio description which is where you have a secondary audio track describing visual scenes when no dialog is present. AD is available on many movies and TV shows for those who are blind. One example is the first few minutes of the story where, among other things, we hear a Dalek who, as I suspected and which we learn later on, has attempted to kill the previous incarnation of the Doctor. Btw, this Dalek voice was quite good and I hope that this production team gives us a good Dalek story down the line. Some of the sound mixing could have been improved as the music sometimes overpowers the dialog. At the end of the story when the Doctor and Lisa enter the Tardis there was an absence of any Tardis-like background sounds; no hum, nothing from the console and so the mixing in that brief scene seemed somewhat unfinished. In general, though, I really enjoyed the story and found the writing to be excellent. and am looking forward to future episodes with this new Doctor and companion. This story contains one or two instances of profanity.

Apparently the BBC (UK) has had 144 complaints about a recent episode of #DoctorWho because it contained an openly #trans character.

I'm going to make a complaint to the BBC that there weren't enough #transgender characters in Doctor Who. I would love if 144 other people did the same thing. Here's the link: bbc.co.uk/contact/complaints/m…

(For your easy reference: "The Star Beast" aired on 25/11/2023, BBC One, and the trans character is called Rose.)

Reply when you've done it, so we can count us all. When we get to 145, everyone... gets a free BLÅHAJ? 🦈

Edit: 2 days later, mission successful: 159 complaints/comments submitted, and still climbing! A *huge* thank you everyone - stay tuned for hopefully some freedom of information requests!

News article screenshot. Newspaper name: Deadline. Headline: 'Doctor Who' Gets More Than 100 Complaints Over "Inappropriate" Transgender Character By Jake Kanter, December 8, 2023 1:43am. Photograph with caption: 'Doctor Who' starts David Tennant and Yasmin Finney.
Screenshot of online form. Select the best category to describe your complaint: Bias What is the subject of your complaint? Not enough trans people. Please enter your complaint, and please don’t add personal details such as your name, email or phone number in this field – we’ll ask you for those at the next stage. Textbox: I am upset because Doctor Who only two transgender characters - Rose (Donna's daughter) and the Doctor. I think Doctor Who would be way better if there were more trans people in it. If we assume the Doctor is genderfluid kinda, and Rose is a trans woman, there should at least be a trans man in there somewhere! Anyway, thank you for adding some trans representation, I appreciate it, and I'm sorry to hear you had complaints about Doctor Who being "too woke". Trans people are all over the shop in real life, it only makes sense to have them on TV every now and again too. Take care, [remaining text not visible]

Good news for #DoctorWho fans, the launch of the Doctor Who archive on IPlayer is finally happening, according to doctorwho.tv/news-and-features…

This is also a historic event for the blind and visually impaired, as well as deaf and hard of hearing fans, because the article states: "Every episode on iPlayer from the back catalogue will be available with multiple accessibility options, including subtitles, audio description, and sign language."

Classic Who audio described to me is a dream come true, and I am sure it will be appreciated by many. Allons-y, Jelly Babies await!

Even if he hadn’t written three of the most-loved #DoctorWho stories, Chris Boucher would be a legend for just this line:

"You know, the very powerful and the very stupid have one thing in common. They don't alter their views to fit the facts. They alter the facts to fit their views, which can be uncomfortable if you happen to be one of the facts that needs altering."

RIP Chris 💙💙
