Serpent Crest 3 – Listened

I finished listening to the 3rd part of this new 4th Doctor story today. I have to say it was very unusual indeed, but I really enjoyed it and I have no idea where the story is going now.

I’m hoping that the last 2 episodes will get released before Christmas. Something to look forward to right?

Who off to Hollywood?

I’ve just been reading about a terrible plan to bring Doctor Who to the big screen. Apparently the director of the last few Potter movies is planning to move the Doctor to Hollywood.

What a terrible idea, what a really awful idea. The only good thing that came out of the last attempt at taking Who to the US was that Paul McGann ended up doing the most excellent series of audio books for big finish as the 8th Doctor.

I have no hopes of this plan bringing anything good to the world of Doctor Who.

More Who on the way

I’m waiting for Serpent Crest 3 to arrive on iTunes in the next few days. As I was looking around for it I did notice that there appear to be some new 8th Doctor stories appearing too, which is great. Add to that the fact that Big Finish are getting 4th Doctor stories out as well and you have a veritable Who-fest available!

Lots to look forward to before the year’s out.

Doctor Who, Series Finale

I don’t know if it is just me, but I found the last series of Doctor Who a bit of a disappointment. I thought that it went off the boil half way through and the series finale was a real let down.

It may be that my expectations of this series were just too high, or perhaps the hype had set them too high? Also I think that when it started there were lots of really good plot lines that have simply been left hanging around and I think that’s a bit of a waste really.

I’m sure I’ll keep watching it, and the Christmas special seems to have a great cast, but it just doesn’t seem as good as before. Perhaps I just prefer the old style Dr Who. Maybe I’ll stick with that.

More Who

Having finished listening to the final 8th Dr series, or at least the last one that’s been recorded at least I thought I’d listen to ‘An Earthly Child’. Which I’d started listening to once before but hadn’t finished.

An interesting story but I don’t know where it fits in to the chronology.
