Same here! I grew up in Haworth (the village where the Brontes lived and wrote) and always thought the TARDIS should make a visit :-) One of the Brontes is buried in Scarborough so count me interested too. Actually Whitby would be a great location for a story. I'd prefer Scarborough. First time I've watched it but Ant & Dec's TV show was in Scarborough tonight. Did you take part?

You need to have companions willing to do the audio for that, and it doesn't look like they have. The problem is that the new series companions have become so successful. Billie Piper is surprisingly the least successful. Freena Ageyman has gone on to star in Sense8 and Law and Order UK, Catherine Tate now tours a lot with her sitcom characters, does theatre and stars in Hollywood kids movies, Noel Clarke has become a hugely respected independent film director, John Barrowman stars in the hugely popular DC TV dramas (it's a wonder he's available to do Torchwood and The Lives of Captain Jack), Karen Gillan is now a big Hollywood actor and Arthur Darvill is the lead in DC's Legends Of Tomorrow. The problem is, you seem to state opinions without checking the facts. What about Penny Dreadful, Mansfield Park, A Passionate Woman, Secret Diary of a Call Girl, Reasons to be Pretty, The Effect, to name just a few. I believe she's currently doing Yerma at the Old Vic. Hollywood isn't the pinnacle of a career, well, not nowadays anyway. Have you noticed the amount of 'Hollywood' stars now taking television roles, not because they're washed-up has-beens but because they feel that many television roles now offer better concepts, better scripts, better parts.

Scarborough wasn't chosen in the end anyway. First time I've watched it but Ant & Dec's TV show was in Scarborough tonight. Did you take part?

Most of those shows have a very small niche audience. Billie Piper is nowhere near as busy as Karen Gillan or John Barrowman.

Hi. Nice to have you around. There really isn't any point in arguing with him on stuff like this. Facts don't really matter.

Most of those shows have a very small niche audience. Billie Piper is nowhere near as busy as Karen Gillan or John Barrowman. Could that be... perhaps.... because Billie's a (single?) mother and only taking gigs that allow her to spend time with her young family? Id hardly call that "unsuccessful" or "not busy".

She probably has more free time than the others to do Big Finish, and more likely to take a Big Finish wage than Karen Gillan.

And before you mention Tombo or Janet - it took 10 years of discussions to get either of them.

She's explicitly said she wants to move on from the character and I don't think she's really done any audio work at all (besides her pop career).

I love 9, 10 and 11, but I'm still not really on board with this. I might give it a try, but I'm not jumping to pre-order. I'm going to wait and see. (Surprisingly enough, if they had said that Stephen Beckett was playing Nine, I would be more excited and more inclined to pre-order.) Is that the actor from The Kingmaker audio who sounded just like Chris Eccleston? Yeah he'd been good. Yes, it is.

I'm just glad Bruno Langley found time away from Coronation Street to return as Adam Mitchell. Very under-rated character who did a good job at showing what an anti-companion looks like.
