Big Finish Tintin audios? Well, why not

BBC actually did a series of Tintin radio adaptations a few years back.

Just thought you might not know about them. They seem to have slipped under the radar a bit in recent years.

I'd welcome BF adaptations of pretty much anything. I think the only range I haven't tried is Torchwood. Casting Tintin would be difficult for me, the BBC audios, the cartoon series and the Spielberg film all had the same problem. As much as I enjoyed them, the voices weren't how I imagined them when reading the comics as a child. It's an oddly powerful mental block to overcome.

And well, I might as well say it:

I want Nick as Haddock.
And Tom as Calculus.

When people say Why Not, I say Why?! 

Not really!

Tintin goes back to my childhood. The first one I read was Red Rackham's Treasure. So many wonderful characters, like Professor Calculus and Bianca Castafiore. Can't forget the Thompsons, Thompson (with a P, as in Philadelphia) and Thomson (without a P, as in Venezuela).

I love the subplot in Prisoners of the Sun where the Thompsons are trying to find Tintin, end up in places that reflect his current condition yet aren't where Tintin actually is. Like when Tintin is on a destablising platform of logs and the Thompsons are at the bumper cars at a fairground. Classic Thompsons, who couldn't solve a crime Tintin had already cracked.

Peter Jackson is currently making the adaptation of the Mortal Engines. If I was still in Wellington and didn't have a job, I'd have gone to be an extra in the film.

Only Tintin in the Congo qualifies, and any Tintin fan will concede it as the ugly duck of the series. Otherwise, that's a grossly innaccurate dismissal of a series which, by and large, doesn't have stronge political leanings and even has minority characters in prominent roles in stories like Prisoners of the Sun, Tintin in Tibet and The Blue Lotus.
