Doctor Who 60 Years - Once And Future : A Genius for War (3)
Oh this one was great for sure. It's definitely my favourite one from the range yet. We still have no more clues on the degeneration thingy but at this point who cares? The ride is enjoyable enough for me to not care about this!
It is the very first audio that I listen to that features the Seventh Doctor or Davros and they both work very well in this format. Also I really liked the Time War setting as well as the characters attached to it – the general, whom I already knew from the show, and Veklin, who I loved meeting – really made me want to listen to the Time War sets, especially War Room!
The whole cast was really brilliant. Unsurprisingly, McCoy wonderfully embodies the energy that his young televised self had in the eighties. What a brilliant actor! Terry Molloy definitely upgraded his game because Davros is really frightening!
The story in itself was very well paced and didn't let you catch your breath! I'm really enjoying Morris' works so far. I remember he did the opener for the first Rose Tyler boxset which was absolutely brilliant. Listening to this one made me feel like I can't wait to discover more of his work.
The next paragraph is about some details that I want to talk about, so if you don't want to get spoiled maybe you should avoid that.
SPOILERS BELOW
It is quite interesting to hear about the Hybrid again in such a way. It's also pretty fun to witness Seven's guilty pleasure: seeing how Davros always has the next step already planned, as Seven often does as well. However, his enjoyment of the situation may rely on the fact that he actually is one step ahead of Davros.
END OF SPOILERS
I can't wait for the next Once and Future story to drop!

Not even five minutes into the commentary for Attack of the Cybermen, and Colin Baker is accusing Terry Molloy of stealing Nicola Bryant's underwear.

In 1985, the time traveling alien known as the Doctor (Doctor 6) and his companions arrived in England to find they were not the only ones time traveling. The Cybermen had stolen a time machine so they could destroy the Earth before Earth destroyed their planet in 1986. ("Attack of the Cybermen", Doctor Who, vlm 1, TV)

This channel has some interesting stuff. After listening to the 2008 Caligari radio adaptation (appropriately weird and not bad at all!) I found this 1994 recording of Roald Dahl's "The Man From the South," read by Terry Molloy. He does a reasonable imitation of Peter Lorre, which is of course appropriate as Peter himself played the same role in a 1960 episode of Alfred Hitchcock Presents:

I should warn you, the very end of this story is cut off (ooh, poor choice of words 😂). Even though I already know the ending, it's a terrible disappointment when the final impactful lines are missing with no explanation. I hissed aloud "oh FUCK me" to nobody when I realized this, but there's nothing for it, I guess.

Reviewed: @bigfinish’s #DoctorWho Lost Stories – The Ark
Time for tee off!
The Ark, not to be confused with the First Doctor (William Hartnell) serial from 1966 (I’ve yet to watch it!), gives life to the first draft scripts by John Lucarotti — later rewritten from scratch by Robert Holmes as The Ark in Space. Since both versions of the story are vastly different from each other, I will only denote comparisons when necessary.
Adapted for Big Finish’s…

"Unstable? This is me, Peri! At this very moment I am as stable as you will ever see me."
"Oh dear."
"You must forget how I used to be, I'm a Time Lord! A man of science, temperament and passion!"
"And a very loud voice."
"Yes. Yes, that too. But not unstable."

My face when I get front row tickets for The Hound of the Baskervilles. Starring Colin Baker, Terry Molloy and Dee Sadler. AND Nicola Bryant will be guest starring on the night my bestie and I are attending in Winchester. So that means I get to see Colin 2 times in 10 days, haven't seen Nicola in years, same with Terry. Can't wait!
P.S; I have all the Six/Peri feels right now. 🥺
