The Jago and Litefoot Revival (Spoilers Upon Release)

That took me right out of it. I was beginning to wonder if I'd missed something and the second Doctor had shown up!

It was, and eleven is so much like 2 that it felt very in character to me.

Eleven is very good at reminding me of both Two and Three somehow.

Finally got round to listening to this. It's a completely shallow pair of episodes and pretty much nothing happens, but how delightful to hear from Jago & Litefoot without getting bogged down in their own spin-off. I wish it had been edited differently though; Act One Litefoot and Ten & Act Two Jago and Eleven.

I did too. I listened to this recently and I thought "It's almost as if George is talking about Trevor Baxter....."

I got this as part of my recent(End of January!) subscription to Short Trips. I can say that even though I am not an ardent subscribor of the J and L range I do love their characters and was gutted by Trevor's passing. I read Bodysnatchers for the first time a few months ago and have always been a Litefoot fan over Mr. Jago(only my favourite. Jago is a delight too!) He is truly a loss to all the community and when there is a sale I want to pick up the more recent releases and may grab J & L forever when it drops.

I remember a interview with Trevor and he said he doesn't own a tv. But he mentions that he broke down and bought a kindle because it had 1000 books to be stored on it. I remember thinking "In some ways that's even more old fashioned!" and smiling over it. I love a physical book 'knowledge should be smelly' but when you can carry the entire Wilderness years and beyond DW catalogue on your kindle you have to.

I have always said CC style adventures are the truest interpretation of a Doctor you can get. Because it's how they see it and how they experience the Doctor. Jamie gives the most perfect impression of Troughton because Jamie traveled with him so long, and there are aspects of every performance that reflects the character.

This was no different. George's impression was of a fast talkong but friendly man in a modern suit who also was in a rush. And... it's fitting from his perspective. Especially considering the dominant slower era of J & L vs the New Series. Jago's impression of the Doctor goes out of his way to nail the accent as perfectly prescient and precise as possible. Which for a Theatrically Trained Teller of Tales is perfect for Jago.

It is also the best cliffhanger I have heard and I had to run it back anf listen to the last 3 minutes because I could barely believe my own ears. I even downloaded the spoilery artwork for the second 'disc' to display in my audiobook player.

I am glad I heard it when I did. It was very well done and I enjoyed it thoroughly. It's a very fitting final short trip for the Deftly Dramatic and Dynamic Duo we all love.

I wouldn’t have started with revival .
I take it (am not sure) you know Talons Of Weng Chiang?
