Well Darren i liked day of the doctor right up until the point it retconned
the entire last 8 years of plot about the time war! Really, everytime I
thought the Moph was getting his act together he sticks us with a deus ex,
and the less said about Amy pond the better. clara is at least not that
bad, ---- well she's not much of anything else really but she's not amy
which is an advantage.
Anyway, I actually disagree about the entire last 8 years. I didn't take to
ecleston, but once Tenant got his act together he really got going, and
Davies could actually pull off some fairly dark and reasonable plots (I
loved his new master), however ever since Mophat took over and the Doctor
changed it just seems things have gone down hill in terms of sensable plots
or reasonable characters, inded while I don't intrinsically dislike Mat
Smith's doctor it's rpetty hard to say anything good about him thanks to
all the writing and the situations he solves jus by yelling at them! This
is why while I own all of the new who on dvd up until the 10th doctor's
regeneration, I've not got any of the eleventh at all.
I do agree with you about Bf and plot generally though, even more especially
now. For all that not all the audio episodes have been as fantastic as
some, they have added a hole load to the show, particularly doing good for
Doctors like Mcgan and Mccoy who never really got their break on screen,
indeed a lot of characters in the audios such as the 7th doctor and Mell
I've actually got a lot more respect for. I actually do wish the audios
could get the modern doctors, since they might even make me rethink my
opinion of Ecleston, and even if he would reffuse to play the Doctor again
(grumpy git), Tenant certainly would having acted in Bf even before he was!
the tenth doctor.
Sadly that's not likely given the bbc's licensing and their increasing
reliance on turning Doctor who into a cash cow and a celebrity platform,
but there you go.
At least Bf are still going, ---- I loved their! 50th aniversary special,
and to bring this back to games, there was a perfect setting for one, a
society who tested weapons on random captive civilizations, then got
stopped by the Doctor.
All the best,
Dark.
