I just recently purchased the new BF boxset with Two, Jamie and Zoe and realized I hadn't listened to "Beyond War Games" or "James Robert McCrimmon" yet, even though I've had both for some time now (oops...).

Michael Troughton does such a lovely job capturing the essence of his dad's Doctor. The first story of "Beyond War Games" was a bit hard to follow at first, but the second was great. And bonus Katy Manning was a delight, voicing a role that was just perfect for her.

So far I've listened to the first 2 stories of "James Robert McCrimmon." Michael and Frazer play off each other so well as Two and Jamie, especially in the second story.

"It's two a.m, I couldn't sleep."

"So you thought you'd wake me up. Thank you, Jamie."

(in a gleeful tone) "Ye're welcome!"

LOL... love it.

Going to continue and hopefully finish that box set tomorrow so I can dive into the new one.

Big Finish Presents: Old Man Yaoi

Quick No Spoiler review: I think this is the best release so far of Big Finish's new Second Doctor Adventures with Michael Troughton.

Thankfully they didn't put another UNIT story on this box set. My memories of The Annihilators and Wrath of the Ice Warriors have blurred together in the months since I first listened to them.

When I first read online about the unmade Doctor Who serial Operation Werewolf, I was wholly fascinated by the storyline and the blend of historical and spy elements with science fiction. That got me anticipating for a potential Lost Stories audio, for many years, until Big Finish finally answered my prayers with their official announcements in 2024. Adapted by Jonathan Morris, working from…

OK, I don't know why I didn't share all these anecdotes right after they first occurred, but I have one more story involving Colin Baker that happened at Chicago TARDIS last month.

On the first day of the con, I attended a panel interview of Big Finish audio actors, which included Michael Troughton and Colin Baker. I stood on line for the Q&A and asked Michael a question: What did he think of his own take on the Second Doctor's voice as compared to Frazer Hines's? Does he have any notes or criticisms? Or does he just see them as two valid takes on the character?

"Well, first of all," Michael began, "we can all agree that Frazer is rubbish."

Everyone laughed, and Michael continued the bit for another sentence or so before quickly adding, "I'm joking, of course."

Then Colin Baker, who had been smirking during the entire joke, snarkily said, "No, you're not!"

That's it, end of anecdote. Just another example of these Classic Who actors all having friendly, teasing relationships with each other.

It’s out! I’m desperately proud! Tell me what you think!

It's 1968, and the Earth has one month to live.

The Doctor, Ben, and Polly race to escape a frightening lifeless London. But as the city folds in on itself, it is a warning of a far greater danger. Someone has misused terrifyingly advanced technology to make Earth the target of a primordial black hole - a tiny, invisible world-killer. Struggling to avert the catastrophe, the Doctor must send his companions on dangerous undercover missions.

Can the Doctor and his friends prevent the planet Earth from being erased from space and time?

And it's a Two, Ben and Polly story
