"Caves" is one of my favorite DW stories. It's one of those stories with a lot going on that would be interesting even without the Doctor and Peri. I'd love to see an Androzani spin-off series. Btw, if you like that type of story I recommend the audio story "Exotron" from Big Finish. Its music and sound layering is remarkably like a fifth Doctor adventure and it also has an interesting plot. Nicola Bryant does Peri so well that you'll think you were listening to a soundtrack of a lost fifth Doctor story. It's a three-parter; the one-part story that follows it is interesting but I didn't care for it. #DoctorWho bigfinish.com/releases/v/doctoā¦

#DoctorWho serial āThe Caves of Androzaniā was brilliant. I absolutely loved it. Great writing from Robert Holmes, great atmosphere, pacing & performances, great direction from Graeme Harper, and Peter Davison is on top form here. Iām sad itās his final serial. Time for Dr no. 6.
@cachondo Well, if I'm interpreting this correctly BBC iPlayer should be getting it at the same time as Disney Plus here in the States. It's only the folks dependent on BBC 1 who will have to wait until later in the day. If I'm wrong I hope that another Whovian will set me straight. #DoctorWho
I'm glad to see we're getting more #DoctorWho books this year but I do wish the BBC hadn't stopped their full-length past Doctor novels. I'm intrigued by "the Adventures Before" and am looking forward to reading that but when I first read the title I was hoping it was a new series about the timeless child.
What if Flux had been just an ordinary series of #DoctorWho? And would there be as much mystique around the early years if the missing episodes had never been missing? Two conversations for the price of one, in another edition of What If:
Once more we throw ourselves back into the Doctor Who timelines, to investigate how we think things might have turned out differently had alternative choices been made; two conversations this time, firstly regarding the mystique of the missing episodā¦

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

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!
On each episode of The Moment, I speak with a different guest about an individual moment in an episode of Doctor Who that they have a lot to say about.
The show is currently on hiatus, but it will be back soon! I hope to have more info for you in May 2023.
In the mean time, why not listen to an episode from our archive? They're all good!

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.
