Big Finish Day

Having had such a great time at the inaugural Big Finish Day Convention on the 11th, I just want to thank all the many BF fans, friends and colleagues who attended for making it such an enjoyable and party-like occasion.

The day flashed by in a flurry of signings, interview panels, informal chats and happy encounters.

Huge thanks to all - what fun!

Also, although we didn't meet on the day, I was in the audience for the panel introducing

Lisa Greenwood, who is playing the Sixth Doctor's new companion 'Flip'

- a big welcome to her indeed!

A few images from the day:

1983: as the country goes to the polls, two ‘Urban Explorers’, together with a freelance journalist, break into the long-defunct Cadogan Tunnels, once a secret wartime facility… and later, so rumour has it, the site of an experimental laboratory with a nasty sideline in vivisection.

What they find, in its twisting underground corridors, is something the most cynical conspiracy theorist could never have imagined: a highly-evolved society of questing, intelligent creatures, living right under humanity’s nose for decades.

But there’s no way out of the tunnels – as the Doctor, Nyssa, Tegan and Turlough are about to discover when the TARDIS brings them, too, into the complex. It’s a rat trap – and they’ve all been caught!

Margrave University in 2001, and Raine Creevy is enjoying her first trip into the future.

For the Doctor, there are mysteries to solve: what are the alien creatures imprisoned in the science labs? And what are the true motives of the student Scobie and his followers?

With enemies on all sides, the Doctor teams up with his old friend Brigadier Bambera and the forces of UNIT in a battle for the future of the whole world.

...and finally, for the time being, a quick reminder that June 11th is Big Finish Day
