The Burning Lands
The Rani stands on the brink of success. The future of the universe is about to change...

I’m sure Fallen Heroes has been spoken about loads in the past, but I’ve only just gotten round to listening to it and I am just speechless.
That might be one of if not the best Doctor Who stories I have ever experienced, and this story (especially the last 20 minutes) has just solidified Jonathon Carley as not only THE War Doctor for me, but one of the best incarnations to date. You talk about Doctors getting their Spare Parts, yeah this is the Wars.
Bravo to the entire cast and Alfie Shaw for writing such an excellent release, and now I am even more pumped for the set coming out tomorrow!
So I've gone the past few years thinking that the first Big Finish release I ever owned was the Tenth Doctor Adventures Volume 3: The Creeping Death Green Vinyl from ASDA which I got in 2019 before I ever got into Big Finish and collecting various sets and releases a couple years ago.
Today, I discovered that I got it all wrong by sorting through my bedroom and finding this Doctor Who Adventures release that I never knew I had. So I've had this for like 20 years not knowing that I had it nor that Big Finish was ever a thing as a kid.
Has anyone else ever owned or seen a version of a Big Finish release like this?

What Big Finish I Was Listening To This Week: Finished Time War Uncharted 3: Branches. Underwhelmed by Council of Susan, but All Over was pretty good if not a bit convoluted at the end. Had to relisten to the last 20 minutes to really grasp what was happening.

Thought I’d share my collection with you guys. I’ve been taking inventory of the condition of all my Big Finish CD cases the past couple days, and as I’ve done this I’ve been playing around with the way I arrange everything on my shelves, like turning some covers out.
Living in the US, my packages go through a lot before they get to me. Broken cases or teeth on the hubs are a common occurrence. I’ve stocked empty 1CD jewel cases for a while now, but I’ve just put 4CD cases on order this week that should arrive tomorrow.
Most of my releases are in pretty good shape or do not have critical issues, but there are three with major problems like completely broken hubs or cases that are about to fall apart.
My girlfriend very graciously lets me take up most of our apartment’s guest room with these three giant shelves plus my four autographs. I don’t think a fourth shelf is gonna be in the cards space wise so I’ve been stacking spinoff ranges on top of roughly where they slot in.
Needless to say, I sadly am not going to be getting all those vinyl (and 2 CDs)

Does anyone have a feeling that the final set of Dark Gallifrey will be centered around the Doctor? Who's the renegadi-est of all the renegade Time Lords and who doesn't consider himself a hero? The Doctor.
I know that the whole premise is around the bad renegades, but the final set is supposed to tie everything together and make sense of the entire series. And what do all these Time Lords have in common (other than them being from Gallifrey)? They're all enemies of the Doctor.
As to which Doctor it would be, I have no clue. It couldn't be anyone before 7, it just doesn't make sense. It could be 7, as he's the manipulator and all of that, but I don't think it's him. It could be 8, wanting a way to stop the Time War, the same could be said about War. It could even be 9. Gallifrey may have been destroyed, but some form of it might've survived and he's searching for it. Now if it's the Doctor, I'd honestly want the Fugitive Doctor to be the main focus. She's someone who the Doctor doesn't remember from their past, Dark Gallifrey could be easily just wiped from her mind. Do I think Big Finish would put the Fugitive as the final tie-in to the entire Dark Gallifrey series? No, but one can dream.
Either way, I wouldn't want it to be the Doctor, I'm just speculating here. I'd rather the final set be about Rassilon, Omega or the Other. What do you think?
I see that The Invisible Man is on Free Day Friday today. Has anyone listened to this yet? How is it? I will not have an opportunity to listen to the sample before the discount times out.
