Can I please get a little help with my Who writing?
So lovely people, we all know each era is just as memorable and unique as the Doctor it features; those of you cutting deeper also know Big Finish productions are very minutious at remaking those eras in the audio format;
Can someone who's consumed DW from a tin can bigger on the inside help me figure out just what is it that makes the following eras unique?
• The Sylvester McCoy eras (all three of them - the goofy one, the Cartmel/ Aaronovitch one, the Wilderness VNA one with Bernice)
• The RTD1 era (this is tougher than I though; so far all I figured out was that there were even more 2000s London adventures in series 1 than the rest)
• The R2TD era (which as far as I gathered feels like RTD trying to reach Moffat-era spectacle, for better or worse)
I need all the technical writing features of these series, not just "Seven was manipulative" or "RTDoctor was going through trauma", I want style, themes, overaching plots, cinematography, how "deep" they cut into the times they were made (*The Happiness Patrol* is a clear cut example)
I want my stories to be entertaining, dark, thrilling, high-concept, heartfelt, "woke" in the best, most memorable of ways and, of course, rather silly and/ or frightening from time to time ^ ^
The rest of Classic Who, early BF with Gary Russel & Nicholas Briggs & Moffat era were much easier to crack than this, I've never seen such an incredible bunch, feels like the Time Lords are gonna exile me on Earth :/
...also, do you think "Ace of Spades" is a good title for a Tenth Doctor/ Ace reunion?
