Doctor Of War: Genesis 2. 2 Years old.. Wow 2 years since the return of Unbound and man I was excited only that they prematurely killed the range when RTD came back Just as well as Doctor of War was sadly a largely incomprehensible mess

Has it really been 4 years?! With only a small role in Once And Future recorded since for Carol Anne (her After The Daleks was taped in 2019). She'll be 84 in 2 months. I really do get sad thinking we may have heard the last of a lot of old favourites or have precious little left. Even people I still think of as younger... Bonnie Langford - 60, Sarah Sutton - 63, Sophie Aldred - 62 and Janet Fielding - 70. Janet..in her 70s. To put those ages in perspective - Hartnell and Troughton both passed at 67. When everyone connected with Who that I grew up with is a pensioner, I feel a very deep mortality. Thats a reason I dont like to be negative about Big Finish - we wont have these people for much longer. Just them doing something is enough for me.

Both worthy to celebrate but...it's David Tennant's birthday! Surely a guy who's been multiple incarnations of The Doctor gets a shout!

From an actuarial pov, people live a great deal longer now than they did in the 1960s, thank goodness. And I say that with determination as someone whose first 'Doctor Who' story was 'Terror of the Autons' 1971...

They do...but we do have a lot of companions and Doctors now over the average life expectancy. Sadly it's going to be a bad decade or so ahead. That year or so when Mary Tamm, Liz Salder, Caroline John and Nick Courtney all passed? It'll be the norm more than an outlier as we move forward more and more and I'll really say goodbye to that bit of childhood I've kept for over 40 years since seeing Season 20.

I don't get on with a lot of the recasts. I gave up on Treolar. Jonathan Carley is the only one I think sounds the part and acts well. Others tend to do one much better. Or, like Stephen Noonan, do a very one note version of their character. Hartnell chuckled sometimes - Noonan makes it a non stop affectation.
I haven't bothered with the other recasts after not caring much for them. There is a lot of Big Finish and I cannot afford it all so having the real actors is at least a pull factor for me. If I could afford it all? I'd be up for early retirement in 2025 not working another decade!
