Sock Puppets Phantastic!
from Big Finish News RSS
(2009/7/6 5:41)
|
Big Finish is delighted to announce the winner of our Phantom of the Opera video competition. Kev F Sutherland, alias the Scottish Falsetto Sock Puppet Theatre, created a simply magnificent entry in which his high-pitched hosiery re-enact classic moments from the Big Finish audio adaptation, from the masked ball to the descending chandelier. £50 of free downloads will be winging their way to you, Kev. Many congratulations. Other notable entries included several slick Hollywood-style trailers, two stop-motion Lego sequences, a brace of behind the scenes featurettes and even a beautiful hand-drawn animation. Thanks to everyone who entered the competition for their enthusiasm, dedication and brilliant imagination. Your videos will remain on our sister site phantomaudio.co.uk for everyone to appreciate. As a special thank you, the two runners up will each be awarded £20 of free downloads. They are AJ (aka scurvymands) and Sam (aka Davros663). Well done, both of you. But there has to ...

Robin Hood finale delayed
from Big Finish News RSS

|
While we hate to be the bearers of further bad tidings on the day Robin Hood was sadly cancelled, the final two Robin Hood audio releases, The Deer Hunter and The Siege , have been unavoidably delayed at the reproduction stage. The delay should not be a long one, and copies will be sent out the minute we get them back from the repro house. Apologies for the delay and any disappointment caused.

Bernice Summerfield: The Inside Story
from Big Finish News RSS

BERNICE SUMMERFIELD: THE INSIDE STORY Available in August 2009! EVEN BEFORE BIG FINISH began making Doctor Who adventures, one woman was already making her mark: Bernice Summerfield. Created by Paul Cornell, the space archaeologist first appeared in the Virgin New Adventures novels alongside the Seventh Doctor, and it was from these novels that her first few audio adventures were culled, helping to fill the gap when there was no Doctor Who on TV. The success of these opening instalments has led to nine subsequent series and regular Bernice Summerfield books. As her latest, 10th, series of audio adventures gets underway, Big Finish proudly presents a book detailing Ms Summerfield?s rise from companion to fully-fledged lead. Bernice Summerfield: The Inside Story , written by Simon Guerrier and comprising 320 illustrated pages and more than 300,000 words, is a chronicle of Doctor Who while it was off the air. It picks up the story after David Howe?s The Target Book , which cov ...

More Stockbridge Horror!
from Big Finish News RSS

Later this year, the TARDIS will be returning to Stockbridge - the sleepy English village originally created for the Doctor Who Magazine comic strip and most recently seen in DWM 403-405 in The Stockbridge Child . The new trilogy of audio adventures from Big Finish will star Peter Davison as the Fifth Doctor, accompanied by Sarah Sutton as Nyssa. "I loved the old 1980s DWM strips set in Stockbridge - The Tides of Time , The Stockbridge Horror , Stars Fell on Stockbridge ," says script editor Alan Barnes. "I loved the idea that the Fifth Doctor would make his home from home in a pretty English village, and that weird stuff would keep on happening there. The audios have visited the place before, briefly, in Circular Time and will again in Izzy's Story in The Company of Friends . "The three stories in our 'Stockbridge trilogy' are set in the past, present and future of the village. They're all very different. October's Castle of Fear , set in the Middle A ...

Dalek Dialogue
from Big Finish News RSS
(2009/6/3 9:26)
|
A few little snippets of Dalek-related information for you. Firstly, those who've picked up Enemy of the Daleks will have heard some nifty little extra interviews, but due to time constraints and the inclusion of the second episode of The Three Companions , we had to leave quite a bit of material on the cutting room floor. So, for CD subscribers only, if you check your Subscription Downloads box in your account, you'll find a file of extended interviews about the story. While we think the problem's fixed now, some listeners using Safari have already had some difficulties in that it seems to download with a .zip extension. It is, however, an MP3 file (trust us!) so if you delete the .zip from the end of the filename it should play just fine. Meanwhile, for future Dalek mayhem, check out the trailer for upcoming Sixth Doctor adventure Patient Zero , which is now available here .
