The Holmwood Foundation is a wonderful horror audio drama series from Big Finish writers @fiotrethewey.bsky.social and @georgiacooked.bsky.social. And you can back its second season. 😁 www.kickstarter.com/projects/geo...

The Holmwood Foundation - Season Two

Vision Express is missing a trick by not using Troilus and Cressida in their advertising…

Strikingly brutal from the outset. Then Liberator’s crew taunting the captured Shrinker— when Tarrant defends it (“He's an animal, Cally”) Cally’s terse reply: “Yes, and it's contagious, isn't it?” @andr3wsmith.bsky.social’s prequel was satisfyingly gruesome. www.bigfinish.com/releases/v/h...

C08 - Rumours of Death AVON: I can't. Please, I can't. SHRINKER: I'm going to start by burning out your eyes. AVON: Please. SHRINKER: And you're going to start by telling me your name. Now that's not too difficult, is it? Who are you? https://blake.torpidity.net/m/308/26

Pleased to see this series is continuing. @andr3wsmith.bsky.social and the rest of the team have done an absolutely stellar job of taking the best of what was originally in the series and making it one of the most compelling non Doctor Who series that @bigfinish.bsky.social produces.

So sorry to learn that CHB has departed, @andr3wsmith.bsky.social. Like you, he responded so kindly and thoughtfully to tweets years ago expressing gratitude for the seeds sown in an 8yo mind by Season 18. Your mutual admiration and affection were evident in interviews and DVD extras. Condolences.

Raising a glass to Christopher H Bidmead, who brought big ideas and magic moments to Doctor Who, and commissioned writers like Christopher Bailey, @andr3wsmith.bsky.social and @stephengallagher.co.uk. A playfully cantankerous persona never quite masked a deep intelligence and a kind, generous soul.

AI's best use case will always be scams. It's scamtech, top to bottom. Everything about it is crooked. Its bedrock is theft and its legacy is the destruction of the environment, both physical and virtual. Even most of its 'legitimate' uses are a form of lying. "I wrote this." "I created this."

Sad news. We were big fans of Christopher Hamilton Bidmead and his button down approach to Doctor Who. He even critiqued our Miniscope of him in 2012. A skeptic till the end. Sunday’s episode has already been recorded, so we’ll properly pay tribute to Mr. Bidmead the week after.

Farewell to Doctor Who script editor Christopher H Bidmead, who died on August 8. He brought a singular creative vision to season 18 and was an entertaining commentor across many DVDs and John Nathan-Turner's biography. See you on the other side (E-Space).

This seems a bit harsh about Paul McGann and @andr3wsmith.bsky.social

"The Barbarians and the Samurai" by @andr3wsmith.bsky.social was a great historical that I aboslutely could have imagined in the 60s. And, "The Invention of Death" by @johndorney.bsky.social was an intriguing exploration of a world with no concept of death and the implications thereof.

One of my strongest beliefs is if they actually put this on Broadway it would absolutely destroy at the award shows and run for 20 years

A very very Happy Canada Day to my lovely Canadian friends! 🇨🇦🤩🥳🇨🇦

This is the 50th anniversary of what 12yo me thought was the most exciting moment ever in #DoctorWho. On 12/4/75, over the closing titles of ep 6 of Genesis of the Daleks, the announcer said next week’s new adventure was called ‘Revenge of the Cybermen’ Cybermen! After all those years! 🤩🤩🤩

A game for you: ‘Where’s Andrew?’ 😂 I ran the Berlin Half Marathon on Sunday. This is me at the finishing line in the Tiergarten. Along with one or two others. 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🇩🇪

And finally The Voord Alliance by @andr3wsmith.bsky.social - a nice end to this little arc with the War Doctor and as a big 60s Who fan it's nice to encounter the Voord again, especially being used in a different and interesting way
