THE INFINITES - Strip 57




















































                                                             Previous Strip

That's right! There was a previous arc! And a couple of Nick Briggs.

Actually in all seriousness Nick Briggs has played the Doctor a few times. One of the stage play audios, Exile, The AVs and I don't think that's the end of the list.

Actually there might be a few strips in that... Hmmmm.

In other news Nesshead is currently at SDCC. If you come across him buy him a drink.

And that's it from me for this week.

Ness Says: Hope everyone enjoyed the last few strips. More to come in the future. Al has some new scripts for me. Until next time my Whovians.

THE INFINITES - Strip 50!



                                       Previous Infinites   Next Infinites

Yeah, so, ahem.

Remember when we suggested that 'Cold Fusion' should really be in Big Finish's pipeline? Turns out it was. We're all really happy to hear about this, mostly because it's a really, really enjoyable story (one of my favourites from the Virgin range) and a little bit because we'd had to have re-written this arc.

Speaking of this arc, we interrupt it to bring you Nesshead's celebration of our 50th Infinites strip! Nesshead spent a lot of time on this and it just reinforces my feeling that I'd love to see more Unbound Doctors and that they have a ready made cast waiting. It's also worth noting that two previous Unbound cast members are returning to Big Finish soon and that one looks really, really familiar....

THE INFINITES - Strip 44
















































Oh yes, we've gone there. Big Finish.

Actually I've been meaning to come here for a while, but you guys are going to have to wait until next year to see why and what's going to happen. I've written a good chunk of the Big Finish outing, but haven't had a chance to type it up and send it to Nesshead yet.We're in the process of planning out the Christmas schedule and then I hope to spend tomorrow afternoon typing up scripts for the three strips and getting a writing buffer back into place properly.

And yes I'm aware Colin Baker is missing. It's not an accident. You'll discover why in time.

Now, last week's episode of Doctor Who. Wow.

Although I was a little disappointed that it wasn't the pure single hander that we'd been promised it was still an utterly outstanding performance from Mr Capaldi and I can't wait to see what happens next. Although it strikes me as odd that when 'The Impossible Astronaut' aired that the Moff insisted that one of the main cast was definitely going to die and then didn't, but this time around the Doctor was killed repeatedly and properly yet no one mentioned it in the build up. I'm very glad they didn't, would have been a hell of a spoiler, but still, strange.

And yeah, the Infinites seem a little more finite now. That was a serious amount of skulls floating in that river.

Anyway, I'm off now. Looking forward to tonight's finale and also the the finale party that the Glasgow Doctor Who Society are throwing at the Flying Duck tomorrow night. Catch you all soon.

THE INFINITES - Strip 43















































And here's some new Infinites. It's been far too long and great to see them back. With a Star Trek crossover no less. I didn't really much of Voyager, but it always amused me that they had a character known as the Doctor. Although it would seem our own Doctors aren't nearly as amused.

I've got about a dozen scripts for Jim and Nesshead that I need to type up so they can get the buffer back up and running. It's a constant source of frustration (for myself as well) that I write all these on paper first and then have to type them up. I did try a few times just taking photos of my notes, but neither Jim nor Nesshead could decipher my handwriting. Not an uncommon complaint.

More Infinites next week, then it's onto the Christmas schedule which includes some new Prop Cupboard and Who's Cat.

THE INFINITES - Strip 34


















































Yes, the Cushing Doctor is about to throw his coat over what he thought was a Dalek. The Doctor has previous form in this regard, check out the opening episode of 'The Time Meddler' if you don't believe me.

For those of you that aren't familiar with him the gentleman with the microphone is the Nth Doctor as played by Nicolas Briggs in the Audio Visual Adventures in Time and Space. The Audio Visuals were the precursor of Big Finish and quite frankly a model of how sometimes fan fiction and fan fuelled productions can lead on to bigger and better things.

The reason that he's holding a microphone and speaking like a Dalek is that Briggs is now the official voice of the Daleks on New Who. This is going to get complicated. So complicated that I need to write another few strips tonight and send them to Nesshead.

Needless to say I have a plan here and this is the beginning of a series of arcs that'll spread out over the year.

I have plans....
