I made a thread and it got delete. This isn't my thread. Probably because you made it as a place holder months in advance and it had no responses. Though I don't remember specifically. Also, it is not your job to micromanage how people post.

It wasn't aimed particularly at your Mark, it's just a theme that's popped up a few times, and we really want people to focus on the rules as written not as imagined or hoped.

So I'm almost finished with The Great White Hurricane I came in kind of apprehensive but WOW it took an episode to get used to the recasts but what a great set. The Destination Wars was a tense amazing story and the Master felt surprisingly appropriate. The Great White Hurricane, while not as good, is still a great showing for Susan we never got in the original show. I'm chalking up the "American" accents as era accurate.

For what it's worth, The Black Hole only defines placement for The Two Doctors. It does not account for The Three Doctors or The Five Doctors, and, in fact, The Five Doctors must itself take place in 6B because Two knows that Jamie and Zoe had their memories erased. Additionally, the Action in Exile comics still firmly take place post-War Games, so there's your 6B right there as well. In addition to that one PDA. I might have included a little possibility for covering those in something coming up this year... Anyone any thoughts on what this was? I think I am right that all John Dorney's stuff for 2018 is now out, so either the "little possibility" did not happen or has been postponed, or else it was there and we all missed it.

I’ll happily point you in its direction - Someone I Once Knew.

I’ll happily point you in its direction - Someone I Once Knew. D'oh - I should have realised. Guess I was looking for an explanation of the 5 Drs in the same way The Black Hole "explained" the 2 Drs
Thanks for the response

Sorry, I'm feeling a bit dense - is the explanation here that Timey-Wimey-ness and alternate-timeline Doctors can be seen as an explanation for incongruities in canon? Or was there a specific reference in Someone I Once Knew that went over my head?
...because... for me personally... as someone very comfortable with my head-canon... and not concerned with Season 6B-type explanations... I'm perfectly happy to say, "Timey-Wimey" and forget about it all... but I remain insatiably curious about cool stuff like The Black Hole's patchings

I was a bit behind on listening, but I knocked this out over the weekend and really loved it. Both stories were excellent. The moment that Susan recognized The Master gave me chills and the Great White Hurricane is easily one of my favorite historicals that Big Finish has ever done.

After a few Master heavy months in my Big Finish listening and having finished volume three of the First Doctor Adventures earlier in the week, I’ve gone back to The Destination Wars.
I enjoyed it then and I’ve just enjoyed it again, but it’s quite different to what I remembered. I recall it being quite traditional and authentic, when it’s actually pretty “out there” and perhaps more reminiscent of a two parter from the revival. It doesn’t try to re-establish the TARDIS team, they just land on Destination and we crack on with the story; quite a brave choice, I think. The story does lack the warmth and wit of the Hartnell era, I’d say. I think that’s what makes it stand out with regards to authenticity.
I really liked the cheeky first lines from the Doctor and Ian, where they’re muffled inside the TARDIS, as though we're listening to the audio from a 60s story.
David Bradley is great and when he hits it right, he’s brilliant. He isn’t doing a Hartnell impression, yet he’s still very much the First Doctor. Jamie Glover is consistently good throughout. He isn’t doing a William Russell impression, yet he’s still very much Ian Chesterton. Where Claudia Grant and Jemma Powell stumble is that they’re exactly how they were in An Adventure in Space and Time; an actor playing an actor who’s playing a character. They’re very RP, mannered and almost a parody. They’re better in the third set, definitely, but that’s how they play the characters and it won’t change.
James Dreyfus is a great Master and plays it surprisingly straight, given he’s a comedic actor. His interplay with the Doctor is nice too, but it’s not particularly unique. That’s where I think the story misses an opportunity by having the Master already established, along with his relationship with the Doctor. It would’ve been unique if this had been an origins of sort for the Master, or at least the start of his feud with the Doctor. I did wonder why he hypnotised Ian so much. It seems logical that Ian and Barbara would believe that this other Time Lord with a TARDIS can get them back to London in 1963, something the Doctor can’t. They still feel early on in their relationship with the Doctor and Susan that they'd take the opportunity to go home without them. I think if the Master was written differently it would’ve been a much more effective story, with a more unique dynamic.
Good stuff all in all.
