Big Finish is excited to announce a series of six talking books based on the BBC?s hit series Robin Hood . Designed to be hour-long one-voice productions, each story will be read by a member of the original television cast. The BBC?s adaptation of the Robin Hood legend for its Saturday night drama slot has proven to be massively popular worldwide. With action and adventure galore, the series has revitalised the traditions of the story and opened it up for an entirely new young audience. In an innovative move, Big Finish?s series of talking books will tie closely into the third year of the show, reflecting the themes, plots and characters of the season as it unfolds. Each story will be available on CD, or as a download from www.bigfinish.com/robin-hood Four actors from the series have lent their voices to the stories: Jonas Armstrong (Robin Hood); Richard Armitage (Guy of Gisborne); Sam Troughton (Much) and David Harewood (Tuck) have all provided stunning p ...

Big Finish Podcast - March 2009 Part 2
from Big Finish News RSS
(2009/3/20 10:17)
|
Oh no, exec Dalek Nick Briggs , web maestro Paul Wilson and design guru Alex Mallison have done a podcast! Could this be the worst podcast you've ever heard? Listen and judge for yourself! On the menu this time - apart from the tea, sandwiches and crisp, of course - the weekly Eighth Doctor downloads , cover design, feet, high angle photographs and website design. But where is line producer David Richardson and the now almost (but definitely not quite) legendary director Ken Bentley ? Never fear, all will be answered in this fact-and-action-packed half hour of borderline juvenile behaviour. Big Finish would like to apologize in advance... But dare you miss out?

Companion Chronicles: Season Four!
from Big Finish News RSS
(2009/3/11 8:24)
|
Following the success of the third run of The Companion Chronicles , the talking books performed by the Doctor?s assistants, a fourth season of monthly releases has been confirmed. It begins in July with The Drowned World by Simon Guerrier, a direct sequel to his story Home Truths , starring Jean Marsh as Sara Kingdom. ?The response to Home Truths was sensational,? says series producer David Richardson. ?I?d always hoped we would make a follow-up story, and Simon sent me a number of suggestions. He detailed a few new different ways of resurrecting Sara Kingdom, but I felt that we?d already found a window back to the character, and it was one that was worth exploring further. So those who enjoyed the first story should be delighted with this sequel.? Next up in August is The Glorious Revolution by Jonathan Morris, in which Frazer Hines returns to the role of Jamie McCrimmon. The TARDIS materializes in the year 1688, where Jamie discovers a political situation that will have ...

The Lost Stories Update - The Nightmare Fair
from Big Finish News RSS
(2009/3/10 6:15)
|
Production on The Lost Stories , the audio versions of unmade scripts from the 1980s era of Doctor Who , continues with The Nightmare Fair by Graham Williams which is recording on March 9 and 10. The story, which is set in Blackpool, finds the Doctor (Colin Baker) and Peri (Nicola Bryant) threatened by the Celestial Toymaker, an immortal being who makes playthings of those he defeats in his games. The role was originally played by Michael Gough in The Celestial Toymaker by Brian Hayles (1966), but has been recast for this production. Big Finish is delighted to announce that David Bailie (who played Dask in the 1977 story The Robots of Death, and more recently starred in the three Pirates of the Caribbean films) has stepped into the vacated Mandarin costume. ?We spent a lot of time thinking of who we wanted for the Toymaker,? says producer David Richardson, ?because this is an iconic role and we wanted to get it right. It?s a demanding part: whoever plays it needs to be char ...
