Big Finish: The Five Companions – a new Peter Davison adventure

Posted on by Posted in Big Finish news, Doctor Who, Peter Davison

 

Big Finish has announced a special CD bringing a host of former Doctor Who companions together. The Fifth Doctor meets up with his distant past – the schoolteacher who settled down, the space pilot who became a King, the security agent who died and lived again and the swinging Sixties secretary who has made her own way in the world.

As might be inferred from the description, the story will star Peter Davison as the Doctor, with guest stars William Russell (Ian Chesterton), Sarah Sutton (Nyssa), Peter Purves (Steven Taylor), Jean Marsh (Sara Kingdom), Anneke Wills (Polly).

The story is written by Eddie Robson, and will also feature the vocal talents of Nick Briggs as the Daleks, and Dan Starkey as the Sontarans.

Recording kicked off on 12th May, with the CD expected to be released in December as a free special exclusively for subscribers to the main Doctor Who range at that time, with the option for future annual subscribers to select it as their free extra.

Full details and subscription options may be found on the Big Finish website; the company have also launched a new fan page on Facebook.

Gallifrey 2011 – Day 0 – LobbyCon Pictures

Hmmm…they must be writers. When we first saw them, they had drinks in their hands. We could tell they were writers from that and the English accents, but in case you missed those clues, well, they wanted to make it easier for us to spot them. They were very friendly, by the way.

Where the hell did this woman get so many ribbons already? The convention hasn’t even officially started yet!!!

My Tonner doll has already found his TARDIS…proof that the Doctor can find it anywhere in the universe.

The first costume we saw coming into the convention. Very nice and proof that Dr. River Song drinks.

5th Doctor & Captain Jack Harkness cosplayers. Very nice.

Gallifrey in 4 days! Five and Dime doesn't forget Torchwood

Posted on by Posted in Doctor Who, Doctor Who Videos, Five and Dime Fangirls

Torchwood would like to remind you that the Five & Dime Fangirls have not forgotten to pay tribute to their legacy and contribute to the Doctor Who universe. It took a lot of looking to find something PG rated amongst the offerings on YouTube, but we think we have something you can at least take your teenagers to see…unless you are squeamish about Jack getting a bullet to the head, him and Ianto kissing or aliens being disintegrated. If you are, you probably aren’t a Torchwood fan in the first place.

Gallifrey in 5 days! Five and Dime insanity update

Posted on by Posted in Doctor Who, Five and Dime Fangirls, Gallifrey One

So “Dime” is over last night. (Dime is my Tennant-fan partner in this video project). She reminds me I need to Tweet these bloody updates. Crap. Completely forgot about Twitter and that’s where all the chatter about Gallifrey is right now. DUH! So this morning, even before I shower, I jump into photoshop and crank out some kick-ass background wallpaper to slap up. Everything matches now…I’m seeing our “boys” on my desktop and on practically every site I own – which is never a bad thing.

Now it’s down to the little things…fighting to stay healthy right up to and through the convention. Pinning my hopes on probiotics and Thieves Oil and so far, so good.  Costumes…costumes? If I am working in the green room around people I respect and admire, do I want to risk looking like a geek? Depends on the costume, of course. Something slightly lower key…nicely done, not too scary. Oh man, do I even have time for this??? Probably not, but then who does when you work full-time? I’ll draw from a quote from the Big Finish CD “The Eternal Summer” and remember, “you gotta make an effort, don’t you?”.
