Forum News

Posted: 10 Mar 2011 07:08 AM PST

Here are some dictionary definitions...

'Prejudice - intolerance of or discrimination against a person or group, esp. on account of race, religion or gender'
'Bigot/Bigotry - an obstinate and intolerant believer in a religion, political theory etc. Dogmatist, partisan, sectionalist, intransigent. Prejudice, intolerance, narrow-mindedness, partiality, partisanship, dogmatism, discrimination.'
'Bully - persecute or oppress by force or threats'

Those are the definitions of those words that we understand at Big Finish. Unfortunately, there have been examples of all these on our forum recently.

As we have said many times, we are a small company. We set up our forum for the purpose of fun and lively debate about our audio productions. But in recent months, there has been a significant increase in the number of postings which have fallen into the categories of those definitions listed above. Some threads containing these kinds of posts have run unchecked, simply because we don't have the manpower to monitor all of these threads. In this respect, we have failed to keep the forum as a fun and friendly place for our listeners to discuss our productions, and as a direct result of this, a number of listeners have been seriously offended.

It is becoming clear to us that, as a commercial company, the forum is becoming counter-productive. Rather than creating an enthusiastic and engaged community of people who enjoy listening to our productions, it is potentially turning into a forum for angry and polarised debate, which is already upsetting some listeners, spoiling their enjoyment of our productions and leading them to decide to part company with us.

Of course, the vast majority of posts are good-natured, and much of what most of our listeners have to say is informative, humorous and helpful. However, we feel that the minority who intentionally or otherwise offend others and display levels of unacceptable prejudice bring into question the whole existence of the forum.

We are therefore taking the step of suspending the Big Finish forum for an indefinite period while we consider this issue fully. Anyone wishing to convey comments to us at Big Finish can still do so via the enquiries@bigfinish.com and podcast@bigfinish.com email addresses. Our magazine, Vortex, will continue to answer listeners' questions, as will the regular, weekly podcasts. And, of course, our Facebook page will continue. We still very much welcome your thoughts and comments.

We are very saddened that we have had to take this decision, but hope you will understand that we find ourselves in a very difficult position.

Lost Stories Update

Posted: 10 Mar 2011 03:08 AM PST

Series three of The Lost Stories has been moved up the schedules, commencing in October 2011 (although the run will break from January 2012, and then return in April). The first three releases star Peter Davison as the Fifth Doctor alongside Janet Fielding as Tegan and Sarah Sutton as Nyssa, in stories originally devised for television but never made.

October's release is The Elite by John Dorney, writing from a story by Barbara Clegg (Enlightenment). Ryan Sampson (The Sontaran Stratagem, The Poison Sky) guest stars as Thane.

"The Elite is set on an alien world populated only by the young, who are being trained for military excellence by a sinister, unseen High Priest," says producer David Richardson. "It's a big roller-coaster ride for the Fifth Doctor, which builds to a wonderfully cataclysmic and exciting climax."

November's release is Hexagora by Paul Finch, writing from a storyline by Peter Ling (The Mind Robber) and Hazel Adair.

"I got in touch with Hazel and the estate of Peter Ling and they were only too delighted to see this story finally made," says David. "As I write this we're just about to go into studio, with a guest cast that includes Jacqueline Pearce (Blake's 7) and Toby Hadoke (Moths Ate My Doctor Who Scarf)."

The Children of Seth follows in December, originally written by Christopher Bailey (Kinda, Snakedance) and adapted by Marc Platt (Ghost Light).

"Everyone loved this script," says Richardson, "which is dark and political, and filled with some interesting characters with their own agendas. And we've got Honor Blackman, David Warner, Vernon Dobtcheff and Adrian Lukis all in the same Doctor Who story – how great is that?"

Return of the Robots

Posted: 10 Mar 2011 02:56 AM PST

The Seventh Doctor returns to audio in July in a brand new mini-season from Big Finish, and he kicks off by meeting up with some familiar impassive faces… the Robots of Death.

"In many ways, Robophobia picks up where The Robots of Death left off in 1977," says Big Finish executive producer Nicholas Briggs, who has also written the story, "but it goes in an entirely new direction, and I don't just mean out into space."

The guest cast for Robophobia is led by Nicola Walker, best known for playing Ruth in TV's Spooks, as Liv Chenka.

"We've wanted to work with Nicola for ages," says producer David Richardson, "and suddenly everything fell into place and she was available for this story. And she was absolutely brilliant, and so lovely and funny. She really embraced the opportunity to appear in the audio adventures of Doctor Who." The cast also includes Toby Hadoke (Moths Ate My Doctor Who Scarf) and Dan Starkey (who plays Sontarans in the Doctor Who TV series).

The mini-season takes a short break in August, as Colin Baker returns as the Doctor, accompanied by Nicola Bryant as Peri, for the 150th Big Finish Doctor Who story. Recorded Time comprises four one-part adventures, each written by a different author.

Sylvester's back for a double outing in September, beginning with The Doomsday Quatrain, by Emma Beeby and 2000 AD mainstay Gordon Rennie.

"The TARDIS lands in 17th century Florence," reveals script editor Alan Barnes, "where local prophet Nostradamus has to face the fact that the world will end not in some far-off distant future – but right here, right now! And if you listen carefully, you might hear some hints about the Seventh Doctor's Big Finish future too..."

The guest star for this story is David Schofield (Pirates of the Caribbean 2 and 3), who plays the famed seer.

The season ends with House of Blue Fire, written by Mark Morris (whose previous audio credits include Plague of the Daleks). The guest cast is led by Timothy West, whose earlier Big Finish appearances include Phobos and Cuddlesome.

"It's exactly the sort of thing you'd expect from an acclaimed horror novelist," says Barnes. "There's an isolated house, a bunch of terrified squaddies, a legendary monster... We've tried to make sure there's something nasty for everyone - be they claustrophobes, aquaphobes, even 'blattodeaphobes'...!"

Doctor Who, April 23rd, BBC One?

Posted: 09 Mar 2011 09:57 PM PST

According to the latest edition of Doctor Who Magazine, the sixth series of Doctor Who since the show's resurrection in 2005 is extremely likely to begin on Saturday, April 23rd – the same day as the show airs on BBC America!

Sandwiched between Good Friday and Easter Sunday, we commonly know the day as "Easter Saturday" in the UK – but this year Easter Saturday could become "Good Doctor Day" as fans on both sides of the Atlantic celebrate the show's return!

The series will open with a two-part adventure by Steven Moffat that guest stars Mark Sheppard, Stuart Milligan (who previously appeared in the 2009 animated adventure Dreamland) and Alex Kingston and sees the Doctor, Amy and Rory in a quest across the USA.

While the date is now "out there" it is subject to change – something that Doctor Who Magazine were at pains to reveal on Twitter this morning to Digital Spy who went off with a "BBC confirmation" news item…
