Doctor Who: Short Trips - Rise and Fall (complete adventure)

bigfinish put out some free audio to entice you ;)

If anyone hasn’t listened to this one, it’s great! It’s a really interesting story and William Russell is brilliant as usual.

Yes, this is so devastating. We would have loved Barbara companion chronicles. We just wish they would still do them and get either Carole or Maureen to narrate or get a stand in voice. Really don’t see why not. William Russell stands in for the Doctor and many other actors do other companion voices, why not for an entire chronicle?
It’d be great to have a Barbara story, an historical! It’s such a shame that yet again, the first couple of eras miss out on having more audios produced. Who knows? Hartnell may have been more popular had he been alive to continue the role into other media and One’s companions would get more notice if there were First Doctor adventures or any kind of spin off media. But there’s only really a few cc’s and a couple of lost stories.
Sometimes the One era is a little out of it in the Doctor Who world, because it hasn’t got Time Lords or anything that we would now associate with popular parts of DW. It seems to suffer so much from lack of merchandising. We’re just glad that they have the companion chronicles of Ian, Steven, Sara, Vicki and Susan because there’s so many other stories they’re missing out on with Barbara, Dodo, Katarina and the First Doctor with Ben and Polly. Sobs.

The sound shook the TARDIS like a terrier shaking a rat. It was a terrible sound, like someone had just stabbed the universe and it was crying out in pain. Barbara would have fallen and hit her head against the sharp corner of the console if Ian hadn’t caught her. They stood there, frozen for a few moments - him holding her, her being held, and both of them not quite knowing what to do next. I wanted to tell Ian to keep holding her - to pull her closer, to kiss her, but he would have just frowned at me in exasperation and set her on her feet again. I wonder if they ever did get together. I hope so, I really hope so.

We are just too excited about Steven’s Companion Chronicle ‘Return of the Rocket Men’ being released in November. It’s a sequel to one of our favourite audio’s; Ian’s Companion Chronicle, ‘The Rocket Men.’

We may do a happy dance when it’s released.

doppelkitsune:

Just a reminder that this sale ends soon (October 31st). To access the offer, use the code: ‘1965’.

Be sure to get on these special offers, along with the FREE Ian Chesterton Companion Chronicle: The Revenants, before they’re gone! This is a great opportunity for people who haven’t listened to many Big Finish audios or for those who can’t afford these audios at their original prices.

The Revenants is a great story and it’s free so if you haven’t heard it, you really should! It’s got William Russell’s soothing voice so that’s enough to convince you right? plus no, stop telling us there’s special offers on other Big Finish, no money!!

You know you’re a Classic Who fan when you think Christopher Eccleston should start doing Big Finish audios.

lol we were talking about this very thing a couple of hours ago. We actually started writing out ideas for stories with Nine.

A terrible mistake. I was wrong about so many things, all that Space Security stood for. All my life for them-it had been a lie. And of course even daring to think that…well, then I was a criminal myself, denounced and on the run. The Doctor, Steven and me as outcast as each other, running for our lives from creatures of mercy, running from place to place; trying to find sanctuary in a hostile universe, a universe of…well…what you’d dismiss as fairy-tales.But I was there, I lived them.
Sara Kingdom (Home Truths)
Poor Doctor. He loses all of us. He must know it, too. Those he lets travel in his Ship, we’re all on borrowed time. Our lives must seem to flicker past him. The old man, an exile from his own people. How many has he lost? And is that why he never gives up on us?
