“Fortean flickers…have you ever come across a word somewhere or heard a place name for the first time, and then seen it everywhere? 

Maybe you’ve punched the wrong code into the communicator and become connected to an old friend you lost touch with.  It’s those chaotic forces of coincidence that snowball, breaking the link in the chain of causality.  It moves things and people out of place, out of the natural order.”

“You’re different, somehow.”
“That’s because you’re lying on the floor.”
“I’m examining the floor…a-ha!  As I thought.  There’s nothing archaeologically significant about this floor…now I’ll have a cocktail, and put an umbrella in it with a question mark handle.”

Benny’s back, but it’s not quite what you’d expect.  And while there are strong echoes of the woman we’d only recently left in the excellent Missing Persons, longtime fans may well be caught blindsided by the changes.

It is with honest sorrow and heartfelt regret that I am moved to inform of the untimely passing of Paul Spragg of Big Finish.  I am told that this was both sudden and unexpected, with coworkers trading emails with him mere hours prior.

After finding myself somewhat lost (and admittedly a tad let down) by last season’s decidedly insider oriented New Frontiers, I have some good news for Bernice Summerfield fans.

They got it right this time.

One of the first things you’ll notice about the Bernice Summerfield line, by comparison to Big Finish’s Doctor Who…or for that matter, just about any other Big Finish series…is a far greater emphasis on humor.

The typical episode finds Benny (Lisa Bowerman, also of the 1989 Who teleseries and both costar and director of the Jago & Litefoot line) besting even the Doctor himself at the art of the snide putdown and the sarcastic aside.  Practically every phrase she speaks trails off to a wry take on the situation.

On occasion of recent price cuts on the first 50 installments of their main monthly release line, I thought it apropos to chat a bit about the excellent Big Finish Doctor Who audio dramas.

As a Whovian since the early to mid 80’s who harbors decidedly mixed feelings about the post millenial “reboot” of the series, I was quite pleased to discover that most if not all of the surviving original Doctors (and a number of their companions) were in fact still active, and still crafting tales and ongoing adventures in the traditional style.
