It was inevitable I guess, but Baker T. has finally joined the Big Finish people: bigf.eu/news/Tom-Baker-Joins-Big-FinishWe're apparently going to be getting some stories with Leela and some stories with Romana I. MORE STORIES WITH ROMANA I !! I am very excited about this. Yes I am. However... I listened to a few of those very random Four and Yates in a haunted cottage audios that BBC produced and they weren't all that good. I don't know if that was the BBC or the actors. Baker T. didn't seem very engaged (it was very reading off the page) so... Still, Big Finish makes very snazzy and high quality stuff, that plus Tom's legendary voice should be a great combination. And did I mention we're getting more Romana I ?! WHOO!!! |

Well, that sounds like something worth looking forward too... ;D I listened to one of the Four-Yatesy audios too and wasn't that impressed with it either. No disrespect to Richard Franklin, but maybe Baker, T, will be more energised (for good or ill! ;D) working with actors that he has history with, so to speak? But still, could be good - could be very good indeed. You can never have too much Romana, of whatever numeral, but we haven't had any new Romana I in a very, very long time have we? Edit: Hmm, Tome Baker, he's the chap who writes all the big thick, unwieldy books, right??  |

... er yes, that's the one. Gads, it's bad enough when talking but you KNOW it's bad when you're typing it all out as well.  |

And the lesson in all of this, fellow DbyAers, is that if you're going to go making humorous remarks about other people's typos, make sure there are none in the post you just wrote yourself: Well, that sounds like something worth looking forward too... ;D  |

Very excited about this! Also, interesting thing from Tom Baker's forum. The man himself says: Any idea who the "ONE OTHER" could be? The most likely other person he'd be working with would be John Leeson. If not in the Leela ones, K-9 should certainly be in the Romana ones, no? However, I can't think of why Tom wouldn't be able to mention him by name, unless they haven't finalized him and he's not allowed to or something. The other thought is that BIg Finish is supposedly introducing a new companion to their range next year, one that they're being all hush-hush about. So it could conceivably be them. |

I was poking around Big Finish earlier snapping up 99 cent downloads and checking out the Tom Baker thing... apparently they briefly had him as appearing beside "Lala Ward"
I haven't a clue who "Lala" is... but somehow I think not.

Lala's one of the Teletubbies, right? ...you know, I take that back. I can see Tom Baker doing an episode with a Telly Tubby... It's the yellow one I think? Now I inexplicably have that picture of Tom in a tutu stuck in my head. And the baby!sun is laughing at him. WHAT IS THIS BRAIN?!? |

Four (or anyone over 3 years old) trying to conduct a conversation with Teletubbies would be very funny.

...until the Teletubbies revealed the awful truth - that they were the vanguard of a ruthless alien invasion all along!
