Yes BF have great actors and they do tend to get the credit but let us be honest its the writers in all the ranges that are the real talent.
In the past year i have been impressed by too many scripts and too many writers in all the ranges i have listened to.
So tonight in my last weekend am going to raise a glass to three that really did impress me this year.
John Dorney-for making me laugh and think in My Dinner with Andrew
John Pritchard for two great historical tales The Mouthless dead and the Iron Maid.
CodySchell for the much listened to The Flip Side.
and to the other writers marvellous chaps all of them.

To Big Finish writers, past and present, Thank you for telling stories we can smile at, ponder at length or simply just escape into when things get too difficult. Thank you for giving us variety, for investing in a myriad of characters across half a century of history and long before. Thank you for respecting us and for respecting the fictions we adore. Thank you for your courage and your will in getting these stories on the page. Thank you for making all of our lives just that little bit brighter, little bit wiser and allowing us to be just that little bit more like ourselves. Thank you for sharing the adventure with us.   |

You start by thinking like that, but then you get selfish and hope they stay and continue to write good audio stories for Big Finish. As the quality of the Premier League BF writers (Fitton, Dorney, Robson, Adams, Morris, Handcock, Elliot...) gives the Big Finish audios a high level of consistency that the TV series doesn't always have. |

Yes BF have great actors and they do tend to get the credit but let us be honest its the writers in all the ranges that are the real talent. I get your drift with where you’re coming from.... And I agree that there are really talented writers across all of the ranges, and we’re lucky in that respect... however... I don’t think that all of the other people involved in the stellar releases are to be discounted! The great BF releases are those where the Producer has picked a great writer, who’s come up with a great story. The Director has skilfully enlisted great actors. Their performance has been captured by the talented sound engineer. The virtuoso composer and experienced sound designer have given it life. The cover designer has produced superb art, which has been soundly marketed, and dispatched on time by the conscientious warehouse staff... etc, etc. If any link in the chain fails then the release risks getting a ‘Meh’ from the critical audience. Fortunately that’s the exception rather than the norm! And my apologies to anyone whose role I’ve omitted (I’m no expert!) And I’m sure the writers also deserve their share of the credit too. But it all begins with the tale but i get your point |

Huzzah for everyone? I'd be happy huzzahing for everyone. |
