I watched the Dr. Who Christmas special. Thought it was a great, fun episode. Nothing very deep, but Christmasy and will tide me over until the series starts up again in the spring. In addition, I got the last “Companion Chronicle” CD that I was missing. The Companion Chronicles are a series of audio plays made by Big Finish productions. They have a companion of the Doctor’s reminiscing about an adventure with (and once in a while without) the Doctor. They bring back folks from all of the “classic” doctors, including the 1st and 2nd doctors! So I now hove all of them…
I decided to take advantage of some specials that are being run by Big Finish and bought a few other Dr. Who related programs as well. I got both the “Gallifrey” and “Dalek Empire” series. They are spin offs, in the Dr. Who universe but not including the Doctor. All told, it’s close to 30 CDs worth of audio plays… I also bought the 4th season of the eighth doctor adventures. That’s another 9 when they have put all of them out…
Clearly, I really enjoy these things. All of this should keep me busy throughout the year. Believe it or not, there are still a bunch of other Dr. Who spin offs that I’d like to get. Cybermen, I Davros, UNIT, The Sarah Jane Adventures, and eventually more Bernice Summerfield. Big Finish sure know how to give folks what they like…
