I'm not talking about Tom on SJA although that would be awesome. I'm talking about Lis doing a BF audio with Tom, which probably can't happen while Lis is doing SJA.

Just curious, why don't you think Tom Baker and Liz Sladen will ever reunite? Is their some bad blood between them? I can see why Baker and Ward are unlikely to work together given their divorce but Sladen?

[TheBigBlueBox]

@newargot Because right now while Lis is doing Sarah Jane Adventures there's no way Big Finish can afford to bring her on. Plus, her contract might prevent her from doing audios right now (as is the case with the other new series actors).

What did you think about the true identity of River Song?

[MsLookitsme123]

I did find that whole "tardis becoming suddenly reliable" thing annoying but, you gotta remember that this is actually a kids show, and kids don't care that much about little details.

And yes, it was a relief to watch the doctors wife and find out that the title was slightly misleading

hey, what did you think of the first episode just now?

i loved it :D

liz is dead god rest her soul

[newargot]

@TheBigBlueBox From Tom Baker's site: "Sarah Jane dead? No, impossible! Impossible. Only last week I agreed to do six new audio adventures with her for Big Finish Productions." (sigh)

[newargot]

@newargot Oh no! I just read that Elizabeth Sladen has died. Very sad:(

[newargot]

@TheBigBlueBox Nothing preventing Tom from making an appearance on SJA - perhaps using the premise from the scrapped "Dark Dimension" to explain his having aged (ie intrusion by an alternate timeline where the Fourth Doctor never regenerated). Imagine, Sarah reluctantly having to persuade the Doctor that he's not supposed to exist anymore and needs to correct the timeline despite her bond with him.

@vention4wh You have to take the Christmas episodes as being a bit of fluff (though with a bigger budget and bigger name guest stars). Giant cyberman, giant spiderwoman, flying shark., flying Titanic. They're all romps best not taken seriously. The only Christmas specials so far that were solid were the Christmas Invasion and in particular the End of Time, both for obvious reasons.

I'm so sorry to hear about your dad. I lost my dad at the end of July last year. It's really hard to deal with. Kudos on you for getting back up to do videos though, thank you for coming back.

Great review as always, very fair (though I have to admit I LOVED that episode). Looking forward to series 6!
