I'm in the middle of moving house from Gillingham to Rochester and driven down Chatham hill every day.

And every day I have to shut the windows and try not to vomit when I go past luton arches. It's like a sewer has burst.

A friend thinks it used to have a public bath/toilet underneath that was never sealed off properly but just curious now.

Does anyone know if they actually get any money per listen from the Main Range on Spotify?

Because if so, we should all have it on a loop 24-hours a day! Even on mute.

Just for fun.

Following up from my post last week: https://www.reddit.com/r/BigFinishProductions/s/vVGaLMDhsP

I want to hear your suggestions for a spin-off flop. A bit like the New Earth spin-off which I've never heard but not heard the greatest things about. So...

The rules:

1. You must choose an existing character from the Whoniverse. They can be one-off characters (i.e a one-off companion) but stick to actors that are likely to do a Big Finish run (I don't think we'll be getting a Sally Sparrow spin-off...)

2. You have 3 or 4 episodes. Your choice. But there's no follow-up box-set. You can add an episode to one of the compilation sets, i.e 8th of March.

3. A Big Finish legend MUST appear in an episode. The kind that pop up in the most random places. I'm talking Jackie Tyler, Jenny, Lady Christina, River Song...

4. Bonus points if you find a reason to include Daleks.

Just for fun.

Breaking News! Camille Coduri has been cast as the lead in a series of Big Finish boxsets. Now it's down to you to write the series.

The rules:

1. It must be set around Series 1 and 2. No Pete's World.

2. Each episode/box-set should pair her with increasingly bizarre pairings from the tv show and EU. You can bring back plausible tv characters who have a likeliness to do Big Finish.

3. 4 box sets of 3 episodes each.

The rest is up to you.

Edit: You all understood the brief and DELIVERED! Next Time: Jackie Tyler - Unbound.

Which stories would you give a sequel to? Maybe even how would you write it?

Off the top of my head, I can think we've had so far:

Impossible Planet -> Planet of the Ood

Midnight -> The Well

Aliens of London -> Boom Town/Half of SJA Series 1

Basically every Dalek/Cyberman/Master story when they link.

Has there been much interest for anyone reselling modern-era DVDs?

(Don't worry, mods, this isn't a sales post!)

Ive got a collection pretty much covering 10th and 11th Doctors but have since upgraded, and with a house move soon, I want stuff gone. However, CEX would give me all of about 30p for the lot and I have no friends who are interested in them. Maybe a charity shop, but I know they struggle to sell DVDs too.

I've been watching Vinted and Ebay, and they don't seem to sell either. Until I find a home for them, they're sorta just taking up space.

What have other people done? Any recommendations?

I'm thinking of branching out after burning through all my audios over the summer and seeking recommendations!

Currently renting and looking to move hopefully in September. Current UK law is to give 2 months notice and obviously need some crossover to move as I cannot book time off work and need to use evenings and weekends.

Problem is we don't have completion or exchange date.

Have asked solicitor and they're still going through paperwork (finances, enquiries etc) so we're at the final stages but you never know what hiccups might come though solicitor says exchange end of August is realistic if all is fine with paperwork. Plus the 2 month deadline is approaching if we want to move in September and don't want to have to pay an extra month.

So options are:

1. Gamble on it going to plan. Save a month of rent (over £1000!)

2. Gamble on it not going to plan and pay an extra month's rent. Potentially paying rent on an empty house.

What has everyone else done in similar situations?

I'm looking at parking for a week in Brighton as I'm house-sitting for a friend. They unfortunately don't have visitor permits/off-street parking so I would need somewhere to keep the car for the week.

Where would the most reasonable place be to keep it? They live fairly close to the i360 area. I don't mind paying but for a week I know it can get pricey, but would sooner somewhere secure over parking it 2 miles away.

Thank you!

After Branches came out, I decided to listen to the Uncharted series and... I'm so confused.

I listened to Cass again for the first time since it came out, then the full series, and I'm honestly not sure what has been going on the whole time.

Maybe it just hasn't held my attention which is a shame since I loved 8's Time War before this.

Did anyone else feel the same? Is someone able to explain it all as a summary to a dumb-dumb like me?

With some uncertainty about the tv series for a while, I was thinking about how Big Finish could replicate the more successful series of the modern era to give us the feel of a yearly series.

I'm 50% posting this for conversation/opinions, and 50% assuming someone on their team wanders this sub for ideas 😂

So...

12-13 episodes with a returning Doctor and returning/new companion. Around 45-60 minutes each (it can be inconsistent to make it right for the story). Pop in a story arc too.

3x 2-part episodes

Weekly release schedule as downloads, with the option to buy/preorder the complete series on CD after release.

It could also star a newly-cast Unbound Doctor to give the feel of a continued series, almost like a pseudo-16/17th Doctor but I can't see that being as popular as a returning Doctor, be them classic or modern.

Now I know they sort-of did this with 8 and Lucie, so in theory that could also be repeated, especially as that had fewer episodes and would have been faster/cheaper to make. Also, they do have modern doctor/new companion series with 11 and 12 but... I'm just in love with the idea of a small part of the year having a weekly-released series of Who.

What do you think?

Edit: I forgot about the new 12DAs doing this

I've applied for a mortgage with NatWest and it has been submitted (Tuesday evening). I've elected to pay the mortgage fee rather than add it to the mortgage.

I was under the impression this does not need to be paid yet and I can wait for affordability checks to be completed first. However, NatWest automatically keep sending me an email every night stating:

We are awaiting your fee payment for us to be able to process your mortgage application.

Please log in to your mortgage dashboard in order to progress this without further delay.

I have spoken to an agent on their LiveChat (not the AI) who said that it can wait, but the fact I keep getting the reminder daily makes me think I will hear/get nothing from them without paying. I'd rather wait, even though it is refundable if the application fails, as the money is in a high-interest ISA and it avoids the faff if I don't pass checks.

Has anyone had this before? Should I pay now or wait?

Follow Up: I rung Natwest and yes, the agents on the LiveChat I spoke to may have been incorrect. They had finished all checks and were ready to offer the mortgage, pending the fee. So I neednt have waited.
