I've just finished the fearless (the last season of Dalek Empire) and I'm surprised more people haven't checked out the whole series. It's not perfect but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Its got a nice long saga over multiple time periods, with good guest cast (David Tennent) and some nice character arcs and cliff hangers.

the reviews on Tardis guide are very average but I think they are severely underestimating the series as a whole. you do have to listen to these not to far apart so you remember the plot but if you have a couple hours you can get through half a season in one.

In the 70s Victor Pemberton wrote a story for doctor who called: The Slide, that never got made, it inspired the Fury from the Deep. However, he would go on to adapt the story for a 7 part BBC audio play starring Roger Delgado. this story feels so insanely like a Jon Pertwee Doctor Who story and I highly recommend listening to it.

Not only is Roger Delgado in this but also Maurice Denham (the voice of the animals in the original animal farm) and Miriam Margolyes.

Disclaimer: Don't support BBV, bill baggs has made some very questionable decisions.

I was looking on Tardis guide at stories I have yet to complete when I came across lots of the more recent BBV content. While the really recent stuff I can tell by looking is crap, I was wondering if any of the productions they made before the controversy but during their 2020s “revival” was any good anyway?

I will never buy anything from BBV and I don't encourage anyone to do so, however I was just curious.

with the exception of Jamie in a few comics most of the 60s media either used none, one off children, or John and Gillian, and I was wondering why this was?

I know polystyle (the licence holder in the 60s and early 70s) was cheap but this seems strange. was it just too hard to keep up with the shows current companion? If you are not going to use a show companion why make up your own? Did children fail to identify with the companions? I don't think so, that is what Susan and Vicki were for.

whenever i talk about scifi with my family one of my relatives always talks about a show they watched in the 70s (or possibly early 80s) where in one episode/serial a virus turned people's blood into green pea soup, the episode was broadcast in New Zealand, in color, and they particularly remember a shot where looking at a blood sample down a microscope showed the soup boiling.

This is very odd but I've never been able to find this, so any help would be appreciated!

The first of the big Fan Films, This sets an incredibly High Bar.

#1 The Savage Empire

this is a really very engaging episode, considering the limited sets and the cast, especially the fight scene towards the end of the episode, it's understandable why this would go on to define fan films going forwards. I think the stand out is easily B'Fuselek, I've always wanted an Andorian as part of a main cast and this scratches that itch nicely.

7/10

#1.1 Night Shift

this is just a fun little vingette

5/10

#2 The Tressaurian Intersection

OMG, If you thought the last episode was good just wait till you see this, not only is the story well done and engaging but the visual effects on this are phenomenal, there's a shot where you see a close up of two characters and then the focus changes as they turn around to look at a CGI >!crashed ship!<It's buttery smooth and breath taking. I understand why this took ten years to release. The aliens on this are well done and inline with what could be done in the 60s while not just being a unaltered person.

The stand out performance of this is Garrovick, he's not just a generic good guy like almost every other fan film captain, very definitely his own person, and this creates some interesting character drama!

8.5/10
