Like the run of stories from 1969/70ish in TV Comic, from "Action in Exile" to "The Night Walkers", in which the second Doctor is exiled to Earth, where he becomes a big celebrity as an inventor. Then the scarecrows get him.

It pains me that Big Finish haven't approached Chris to play The Second Doctor for the second doctor adventures honestly its an incredible missed opportunity as his impression is so good that its up there with Jon Carley as The War Doctor and Jon Culshaw as The Brigadier
Then agian i shouldn't have high expectations from Big Finish these days

I’d love to see Frazer Hines lead his own series as the Second Doctor but I personally think they’ll probably get one of the Troughton’s to take on the role their father made famous.

Tbh i mean chris is good but he’s about the same quality as Fraser, some parts are uncanny, others are a bit off and the overall performance is fine. I hope whoever they get can capture a much fuller representation of troughtons performance than we have seen so far.

Because they, to your knowledge, have not cast an actor you like? By your own words BF has scored with Carley & Culshaw, and I would add Tim Treloar as 3 to the hit rate, why would you doubt their ability to hire a perfectly capable actor to play 2? And if it remains Hines, he certainly deserves to continue doing it as long as he likes.

Frankly Hines is equal (or better) to any other second Doctor impersonator I’ve heard. As long as he wants it, the role should be his.

Hines only does the...I never know how to describe this...bumbling, slightly stammery, coughy Second Doctor well to my ears. Which was a very small part of the way Troughton played the role. Frazer does it more than Pat ever did. Thomson - again to my ears - is light years ahead. He's as uncanny as Troughton as Dudman is Smith or Tennant to me.

And if it remains Hines, he certainly deserves to continue doing it as long as he likes. First of all it’s why I haven’t got high expectations for Big Finish these days are for various reasons not just the occasional questionable choice of recast Carley is amazing as The War Doctor as he sounds exactly like John hurt just as Jon culshaw sounds exactly like Nicholas Courtney, Tim is okay as the third doctor though in comparison to Culshaw he isn’t that great Fraser Hines is okay he occasionally gets the right tones but in comparison to Thompson who sounds exactly like Troughton in his impression it’s kinda night and day

All we know is that it won't be Thompson.

BF can hardly tell Tim Treloar and Fraser Hines to sling their respective hooks; I strongly suspect that if they did, then not only would BF lose their Jamie McCrimmon, but probably their Jo Grant as well (and possibly others).
On the other hand, can't they find somebody new to play the fifth Doctor? That Peter Davison guy who they've been using since 1999 doesn't have the right youthful lightness to his voice. And people have started to gripe about Colin Baker. And they've done work on Tom Baker's recorded voice to make it sound more authentic. Better replace them as well, right?

This is ingenuine, no ones asking for Fraser Hines or Tim trealor to no longer work with big finish, no ones even really saying Fraser should stop playing the second doctor. Big finish can hire who they want to voice who they want. all people are doing is discussing whether the performances are good and in my opinion, frasers second doctor isn’t good enough for full cast audio drama. It works with companion chronicles but its not close enough for full cast audio drama. If big finish think it is good enough then thats fine but i don’t have to think that nor pick it up.

Both work on their own terms.After to listening to Thompson, I don’t think it is quite so cut & dried as it is for you.

I knew this thread existed! Gotta make sure to add it to the Index ASAP this time.
Anyway, with Michael Troughton announced as the 2nd Doctor for the upcoming 3DA: The Annihilators, it's fairly safe to assume he'll also be playing the Doctor in the 2DAs, right? Kind of odd that he'd debut in a crossover story rather than Beyond War Games, but at least it means we'll get to hear him a bit sooner.
Or at least I think so? Gotta re-check the release schedule.

Yeah, he’s on the cast list.

Back onto Topic
Will Jamie be featured in only one boxset or are they going to branch off with new companions for The Second Doctor?
