This feels like a bit of a watershed moment. If they can get Michael Palin in, who *won't* they be able to get? Jackie Lane!

This is yet another mind blowing "get" for Big Finish. They just keep lining up these living legends and it seems as if it's snowballing into even more amazing cast announcements.

Despite comments by number13 on the Fortitude thread, I see that BF is still referring to Victoria as the most powerful women in the world.
Someone really should explain to BF that she was a constitutional monarch

Bizarre isn't it? They seem to think she was a cross between Elizabeth I and Catherine the Great! I know she's a fictionalised character not the real Victoria, but when surely everyone knows England (or the UK) hasn't worked like that since the Civil War/Glorious Revolution (it was sort of the point), it's as unbelievable as if they had Abraham Lincoln hunting vampires in his spare time.
(What? Someone did that too, really?! )

It's giving her personal global political ambitions and political power which are just silly because we know they weren't true. And I don't think it adds to the stories in any way, for me it distracts.
I'd prefer to imagine her maj fighting aliens and supernatural forces Batman-style (one minute the garden party, the next it's the TW bunker with Jack!), while Gladstone, Disraeli and the rest did all the boring governing stuff and never knew what she was really up to!

Disraeli would be awesome in a TW audio - he was still PM in 1879 when Victoria founded Torchwood and he was (allegedly) sexually ambiguous enough to have fitted right in at Torchwood.

Nice to see the hugely underrated Gwyneth Keyworth in a BF.
