Cooked in a creamy sauce and mildly spiced in a special way

Got my order from Big Finish today - £90 worth of books for £35 courtesy of their summer sale.

Nice use of Page 3 from the Daily Star as packing material…

Last week I asked “Was that the most expensive piece of fanwank ever?” and grahamsleight correctly pointed out “Yes, but it’ll only hold that record for seven days” beacause on the fanwank scale adding ( Spoilers! ) adds quite a few points and on the cost scale an extra twenty minutes of explosions and CGI adds quite a few pounds.

RTD is a very evil man. In many ways parts of this could be seen as sticking two fingers up at Rose shippers, at the McGann TV movie and at Lawrence Miles. Work it out for yourself which bit is which. But as all three more or less deserve two fingers, that’s okay.

In a lot of ways this was a distillation of the RTD years, which means that it was a second hand distillation of the New Adventures novels. Really BIG space opera scope, ambiguous Doctor, high emotion and companions getting shafted all over the place.

It was just too busy to get a grip on - there were several very good ideas that needed an episode each to properly explore. I honestly don’t know whether I liked it or not.
