At the moment its physical locations in the UK (naturally Not open yet) Regards mark687 For what it’s worth Escape Hunt branches are open. I played Doctor Who: World’s Collide at the Manchester branch a couple of weeks ago. Due to the nature of an escape room - a group of up to six people - it’s great in current distancing scenarios as you book the room out. A Dalek Awakens is only in the Reading & Bristol branches and can be booked to play now. It’s coming to Norwich & Basingstoke soon. Oh that's a surprise 1 group of up to 6 at a time I suppose Local lockdowns aside. Regards mak687

Anyone else thinking based on her costume and events in DWM .... {Spoiler} We’re in for a vampire Rose? There’s a photo in DWM showing her looking a bit “vampish”, you know that traditional Hammeresque pose where they’re about to reveal their fangs.

Just listening to Lesser Evils i have to say that Jon Culshaw's Ainley Master is actually fairly good (some lines i can hear Jon Culshaw but other scenes its almost like Anthony Ainley was in the studio) i think that he will easily be in more future full cast audios especially Masterful

As I said elsewhere, thus far I am enjoying Out of Time more than TLV. After two short trips and a book, I am not really finding that this storyline is all that compelling.

As I said elsewhere, thus far I am enjoying Out of Time more than TLV. After two short trips and a book, I am not really finding that this storyline is all that compelling. Must say I don’t really see the comparison. One is a trilogy of multi-Doctor stories that are seemingly unrelated. We’ve not even had the multi-Doctor story of Time Lord Victorious yet. The actual TLV storyline is just the two books and The Waters of Mars really. Personally I’m enjoying it so far. I really enjoyed the novel and its hints to how other pieces will contribute, I’m very much looking forward to All Flesh is Grass. It’s nice to get a new Ninth Doctor story with Monstrous Beauty and there’s some intriguing hints to expand on in the other two issues. I enjoyed the two Master Short Trips, though acknowledge they’re a little distanced from the overall project, but I think that’s the point. Only weak link for me so far has been the Titan comic and that’s largely due to the first issue barely doing anything noteworthy.

I think the trailer revealed how Master Thief ties in with Time Lord Victorious.
I love the booming Dalek voice at the beginning, it’s almost a little cocky; reminds me of “YOU WILL DIE NOW DOC-TOR, THIS IS THE END OF YOU!!” from The Time of the Doctor. I’m also liking how bored and distant Paul is sounding in these, it works well!

I’m also liking how bored and distant Paul is sounding in these, it works well! I think Paul is playing the same embattled Doctor we get in the CDNM sets and Lies in Ruins here. He's lost more people than he cares to remember and is avoiding a war that's beginning to break out here and there. And that's the joy of Paul's Doctor. Moreso than any others I feel he changes to fit the events around him.

Article on Genetics of the Daleks in the latest Vortex says that the events of Mutually Assured Destruction leads into Genetics of the Daleks. That then leads into the A Dalek Awakens escape room. At a guess... The Eighth Doctor goes from He Kills Me, He Kills Me Not which leads straight into The Enemy of My Enemy. That will close with the Doctor and the Dalek Empire stopping the Tenth Doctor at the end of The Knight, The Fool and The Dead. That then leads into All Flesh is Grass. The Eighth Doctor’s story strand carries on in Mutually Assured Destruction, which will lead to the fall of the Dalek Empire, with one last survivor of the Dalek Time Squad trapped in ice. And then we go into Genetics of the Daleks, in which the Doctor must barely escape with his life, given that A Dalek Awakens has the Dalek blowing up the Starship!

Perhaps I’m just getting a bit fatigued of Daleks at the moment but I wasn’t particularly impressed by that trailer.
A part of me does think that maybe those Master Short Trips will be the best out of all the contributions Big Finish has made to Time Lord Victorious.

Perhaps I’m just getting a bit fatigued of Daleks at the moment but I wasn’t particularly impressed by that trailer. I know what you mean. I don’t think it was anything to do with Daleks, at least not for me, but it’s weirdly edited as though it’s a sequence of events, but they’re clearly different scenes at different points of the story. The soundscape sounds a bit lifeless for what’s going on and the premise of the story too. I’m sure it’s fine in the actual release - and I’m loving the seemingly disinterested McGann in these TLV stories - but it’s not a trailer that sells the release.

Almost makes me wonder if they should have just done one big trailer for all three releases instead of doing individual ones. It is meant to be part of an event after all.

I think that’s only logical if they’d done them as a boxset, though I can’t disagree with the idea of that. It would’ve saved me a few quid anyway!

I have listened to all the BF TLV output as quickly as it has come out. Anyone here by any chance know why the paper versions of the books aren’t out in the US? I have had them preordered forever. Finally bought the Kindle editions. Thx for my tangentially off topic question
