Oh yes Evelyn dear Evelyn, a fantastic character. Big finish have created some unique enemies too. the word lord and of course zagreus. Long may big finish continue because they've done more with the series than the tv series has done in the passed 8 years. Although having said this I do like day of the doctor. Even so the vast majority of the new who as it's called now isn't worth buying where as the big finish stuff truly is.

Well it is true in the Uk that terrestrial tv stopped showing Doctor who fter the series was cancelled, one reason why I only got to see it when my parents got Sky tv (cable is less commonly used over here), though the explanation for that is quite simple since the Bbc in the early 1990's weren't going to reshow something they'd just cancelled, and the other terrestrial channels such as Itv, being Bbc's main competitors wouldn't have been allowed anywhere near Doctor who. As I said, games have usually involved a third party character, often not even one of the Doctor's assistants. The only problem however, with creating a Doctor who game is that obviously you'd still probably need! the Doctor himself as indeed the Mainstream pc adventure games have done. Though I suppose it might be possible to create a fan game about Dalek or cyber wars without him, just as the Big Finish Dalek Empire and Cybermen series created stories featuring the popular enemies without the Doctor in them. Btw, your description of the doctor's assistants as "pretty Chicks" while understandable from the last few series (I personally really disliked Amy Pond), is actually incorrect. The Doctor has had a number of male assistants over the years. Also, in the Big Finish audio dramas, which at the moment many people pretty much considder the best current iteration of Doctor who, the Doctor has had some very unique assistants who are anything but the sterriotypical rather dim Londoner. One of these for example is Evelyn Smythe, a professor of History who is actually in hear late 40's and early 50's. It's quite natural that a professor of history would jump at the chance of travelling in Time and space, and it's also great to have an assistant who doesn't just need to be rescued or get involved in snappy emotional soap opera emotional shenanigans. Actually the character of Evelyn has got a lot of praise from various reviewers and she's one of my personal favourite companions, aprticularly since she's a companion of The Sixth doctor, one of my personal favourite encarnations. Btw, since the Doctor who audios have been so popular, it's actually a shame Bf couldn't be persuaded to make some sort of Doctor who audio game with the original actors, that would be awsome! AGain, this is why having information about audio games on the internet would be a great thing. All the best, Dark. --- Gamers mailing list __ [email protected] If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to [email protected].
