#DoctorWho I just finished listening to the nine-part Dalek Universe series with David Tennant from Big Finish. It's an amazingly well written and intense set of stories, which I highly recommend. However, in order for the series to really make sense, you should listen to both parts of "the Syndicate Master Plan" followed by "the Dalek Protocol", both being fourth Doctor adventures. And, in order to fully appreciate those stories, I recommend first listening to "the Daleks' Master Plan" from season 3. After listening to all of them, I felt that I needed a break from intense audio drama and am now listening to a second Doctor novel, which is much calmer in its tone and read by a calm AI voice. In order not to spoil "the Syndicate Master Plan" I really don't want to say much about the Dalek Protocol and the Dalek Universe series except to say that I think it's well worth the time investment. For fans of Dalek stories, I highly recommend Big Finish's "Dalek Empire", at least the first three series. They don't involve the Doctor at all and so previous knowledge of Doctor Who, while it won't hurt if you have it, is not necessary to enjoy those stories.
It’s been 60 years since Peter Purves first played astronaut Steven Taylor on Doctor Who, opposite William Hartnell’s Doctor, and Big Finish have marked the occasion with a special rele…
The story behind Doctor Who missing episodes is almost as gripping as Doctor Who itself. Could the hunt for lost material be transformed into a TV drama?
I'm almost 100% certain that the books are not part of the official canon and nor are the Big Finish audios. Of course, the BF audios and novels take great pains to conform to the existing TV canon. I'm happy to be corrected about this. And, btw, that is not a stupid question at all. #DoctorWho
Just what I always wanted. A 24/7 stream of Dugga Doo from the Interstellar Song Contest. This is truly the Baby Shark of the 30th century. #DoctorWho youtube.com/watch?v=uR30rwqtib…
You asked for it! Here’s the FULL version of the 803rd Interstellar Song Contest finalist from the planet Grimbald: DUGGA DOO! 🗣️🎶LYRICS:Dugga doo dugga do...
Finished reading Exterminate Regenerate this morning and I think I’ll recommend it, especially if you came to Doctor Who during after the Classic series. The historical context is really well laid out and there are great anecdotes in there. The tales about Modern Who are a little bit more sparse (admittedly due to modern secrecy standards), but John Higgs weaves an engaging story through Modern Who, too.
Remembering the legendary Peter Cushing on his birthday, the 'gentle man of horror'. Born on this day in 1913, his career spanned over six decades & appearances in more than 100 films (including the Doctor Who Dalek films), numerous television, stage and radio roles. #DoctorWho
Remembering William Hartnell, who passed away (aged 67), on 23rd April 1975. The actor appeared in over 75 British films, but is probably best remembered as the First Doctor in Doctor Who, a role he played from 1963 to 1966. #DoctorWho
I was sad to learn of Jean Marsh's passing. I first became familiar with her in Doctor Who but I'm currently watching Upstairs, Downstairs and I love her in that series. May she rest in peace.
A constantly evolving selection of #DoctorWho fans talking film and TV, occasionally music, sometimes politics - and of course Doctor Who itself - so you don't have to
The War Games heat up! The Doctor’s past collides with his present as the War Chief’s true nature is revealed. Mind control, shifting battle zones, and a shrinking SIDRAT raise the stakes. Dom Bettinelli and Jimmy Akin break it all down!
Yay I’m listening to my second favourite #WarMaster box set, “Killing Time” - i know that sounds like a backhanded compliment but #MasterOfCallous is practically a whole level to itself in excellence - my favourite aspect is the interplay with Calantha, but the guest appearances of Jo and Nyssa also work incredibly well. It doesn’t feel like the overplayed #BigFinish tactic of chucking random characters together.
I’ve said it before (I’ll definitely say it again) but I do love me the misery of the war master being a fiendish, machiavellan, magnificent bastard. #DoctorWho
Alexandra Elizabeth 'Alex' Kingston was born on March 11, 1963 in Epson, Surrey, England. Her mother is German so she speaks German. She's famous especially...
Davros, creator of the Daleks, first appeared 50 years ago OTD in Part 1 of the classic 1975 story: Genesis of the Daleks. Davros would go on to become one of the greatest adversaries the Doctor has ever known. #DoctorWho
Resurrection of the Daleks first aired 41 years ago on this day in 1984. This action-packed 5th Doctor story from the 21st season saw the return of the Daleks and Davros. This exciting adventure was also Janet Fielding’s swansong as Tegan. #DoctorWho
Remembering Elisabeth Sladen (1st February 1946-19th April 2011), who played Sarah Jane Smith. She was my favourite #DoctorWho companion, it was lovely when she returned in School Reunion (2006), and went on to have her own series The Sarah Jane Adventures.
This was a great find. If anyone knows when this was recorded, I'd love to know. This is "an Hour With Jon Pertwee" and it's just him, in front of a live audience, telling stories about his life. He mentions traveling to a Doctor Who convention so it's definitely sometime past 1970? #DoctorWho ia800608.us.archive.org/14/ite…
