\nBig Finish’s continued exploration of past possibilities. As Colin Baker’s Lost Stories wind to a close and the Hartnell\/Toughton collection draws near, further casting for the Seventh Doctor ‘Lost Season’ is underway. And who’s this for Brig? Why, Battlefield<\/em>‘s Angela ‘Bam-Bam-Bambera’ Bruce. Marvellous! This is a great nod to McCoy’s television tenure and adds a welcome latter days\/New Adventures kick to Andrew Cartmel’s story-set in a way that having Nick Courtney or looking around for a newer Brig replacement simply couldn’t have achieved. Plus it’s audio, and it’s sad to note that if Bambera were to turn up on the telly now many new DW<\/em> fans would likely only see her as a cheap Magambo substitute. Shame.<\/p>\n
\nElsewhere in Big Finish rumourland there’s the persisting vibe of Big Tom putting in an appearance in 2011, which is rather lovely, particularly as we’ve still got another Magrs-tastic multi-part BBC Audio for the Fourth Doctor to come later this year and to tide us over. Oh, and the latest Vortex<\/em> magazine hints at BF doing a Sontaran story at long last. Seriously, how long has this taken? They’d better have Chris Ryan on speed-dial!<\/p>\n
\nMichael Moorcock doing a DW novel? MICHAEL MOORCOCK<\/p>\n
\nAnd it’s another hooray to the latest comeback boyo in Torchwood<\/em>. Yes! Just when things were looking bleak post-CofE<\/em> Stateside for the franchise, it seems that the team (well, Jack and Gwen) will be back in business, sans van, sans Hub, sans pterodactyl and coffee maker of course. Avec Amerkins though, possibly. Rusty maintains it’ll still be very ‘Welsh’. Sounds intriguing!<\/p>\n
\nTalk of magazine rumblings. Torchwood Magazine<\/em> folding – well, we weren’t buying it, so we can’t complain too loudly, plus there’s still a comic to come in its stead. But more dark mutterings on the subject of comics with the last tenth Doctor DWM<\/em> reprint collection The Crimson Hand<\/em> apparently cancelled, with possibly no further titles after that. Now that’s worrying.<\/p>\n
\nOkay, it might be better news for previously-ailing Doctor Who Adventures<\/em> who, if the Lead Adventure Forum<\/a> are to be believed, are tapping into that tricky middle-aged-men-with-a-hobby market and their ‘free’ gift of models of the new humpitty Daleks on the cover of issue 170. Oh, if only they could be found here! Apparently the new Dalek design is so outlandish the usually rather rum cover giveaway toys are not only a pretty good likeness (fanta orange plastic and all), but they’re also now to scale with the 28mm models popping up all over!<\/p>\n
\nThe frankly titled Lennon Naked<\/em>, starring the above and confirmed for the 23rd on the Beeb and likely screengrab-oriented websites mere hours later. Just sayin’.<\/p>\n
\nAnd if it’s pretty pictures you’re in the mood for after that, then head straight over to Guanolad’s Domain<\/a>, where another of TSV<\/em>‘s former acolytes has sourced some great visual nods in the recent Vincent and the Doctor<\/em>. Nice work, G!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
