[QUOTE="Jock Ewing Fan, post: 408690, member: 40536"] Not familiar with that podcast, but it is good to keep discussions of Doctor Who visible. With respect, I think you are comparing apples and oranges. The wilderness book series (first an independent company for the 7th Doctor, and then the BBC for the 8th Doctor) have differences in scope, focus and tone. They are not regarded as canon in the same way that the TV series is. and therefore are more ambitious with more room to explore other possible stories. IE "Human Nature" with David Tennant was adapted from a book from a different Doctor - they take place in different mediums, where there are different parameters The books expanded to include missing adventures for the previous Doctors as well, and were specifically placed between televised adventures in some cases. Unmade scripts have been made into books. There is more than a reasonable degree of continuity in these books, and they take place in different mediums with different parameters. These books still, however, adhere to the basic fundamental of the series - Doctor Who? The mystery remains intact. Audio plays from Big Finish are not Tv continuity and are not expected to be. If the books and audio plays are not TV continuity, IE The Celestial Toymaker encountered the 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th Doctor in the Books/audios, while I don't believe these encounters were acknowledged in the Tennant episode on TV Fan made projects are certainly not meant to be TV series continuity themed, but they also respect the basic foundation of the series We all can agree that we want Doctor Who to be entertaining, well produced, well directed, wellacted etc The problem is that since Chibnall. the basics of the narrative has been redone in complete defiance of the established history of the show in a way that makes it unrecognizable as Doctor Who. It has resulted in lower ratings, lower Appreciation Indexes, Sharp declines in the sale of merchandise, and millions of fans leaving. Hopefully, the new era with RTD and Gatwa can revitalize the show. [/QUOTE]
