I, too, am firmly in the group that really thinks that the Time War was better as 'this legendary battle only spoken of in hushed tones'. Having said that, I've collected The War Doctor stories and enjoyed most of them - the inclusion of John Hurt being a very persuasive inclusion - and have the first Paul McGann Time War tale on pre-order. Other than that, I think I'll wait for the reviews. And yes, BF are concentrating a lot on the Time War at the moment, but it only features in a fraction of their output on the whole. We can't all enjoy everything! I have a feeling once they get Matt Smith to do Big Finish the focus will probably shift to Trenzalore.

Ah, I see. LOL, you do mention him a lot though, more than anyone I've ever read from. I just thought CoA might be your favourite story. Yes, I suppose PJ does have something infamous about him among 'Whovians'. A status that only a select few achieve, eh The only other background characters I can think of with that kind of status are the policeman from An Unearthly Child and Man With Chips. Well I wouldn't call them background characters, they're supporting actors and they're quite at the forefront in their scenes. But then I wasn't necessarily talking about fictional characters with infamous status.

Why does it need explaining? There's nothing currently to suggest the Doctor encountered the Jacobi Master before Utopia so there's no way he could recognise him. Wasn't there a line somewhere about Time Lords being able to recognize each other right away? Or Tennant being able to 'feel' if there were any others out there or some such? Those are the kind of things once must simply ignore with the new series. They are only true when they need to be in a given episode, then get ignored.

Oh I agree completely, I was just trying to contextualize Charles's post.

Loving the idea of the War Master and I do still need to listen to Intervention: Earth and Enemy Lines but must agree the Tales of New Earth seems very very random. I guess the same was thought when the Churchill Years was announced wasn't it? This probably would've been the ideal opportunity to announce The Doctors Daughter spin off too if that's still happening I would be more interested in the set if the Face of Boe was to be in it. How come? That's a genuine question like each to their own but to me the Face of Boe doesn't really do anything

We don't know if he's Captain Jack, or how he became a massive head in a tank.

Whoa, hold up! I just realized that the Gallifrey page only lists Lalla Ward and Lou Jameson. WHERE IS SEAN CARLSEN?! Maybe he just hasn't been confirmed yet, unless it's the end for him Cheers Tony NOOOOOOOOoooooooo!
