Following 'The Wonderful Doctor of Oz', the short story 'The Dæmons of Levenshulme' by @paulmagrs.bsky.social was a great read. It nicely sits somewhere in the Thirteenth Doctor and Yaz audio series era if you ask me. Very interesting ending. #DoctorWho ❤️❤️➕️👹

The Doctor Who short story anthology The Adventures After, which have lots of sequels to TV episodes.

Matthew Vernon@matthewvernon3· 20d

Finally finished this novel. Nice surprise ending there despite the cover ruining the villain of the story. If you can obtain this story (apparently, the audiobook is available via the Myths and Legends Puffin collection) then please try. It's worth the reveal. Now to their next meeting… #DoctorWho

Lol well after a lot of searching, I found #StarCops on the Android app. As long as I know. 😅 One of them also has a separated Jenny section. That's promising. I hope Jenny keeps her section and gets another five boxsets hehe. 🏃🏼‍♀️🙏 @bigfinish.bsky.social

The Star Cops audios filed under "Blake's 7 - The Classic Adventures" on the Big Finish app.

Time for the Grimminy-Grew. Love how early the Ninth Doctor leitmotif kicks in in 'Back to Earth'. Been a while since I listened to that range. #DoctorWho

Cover for Doctor Who Back to Earth story Station to Station by Robert Valentine. Featuring the Ninth Doctor, someone called Saffron, a possessed looking man and the TARDIS.

Very mixed feelings about this. I do not like this man or his dangerous politics. But from a DC point of view, the three Shazam related movies are strong. You need to have "imperfect memory" to view them, and explain whether #DCU Wonder Woman plays a part in Shazam 2. Then there's Black Adam. 🤷‍♂️

Fandom Wire reports that Shazam actor Zachari Levi was spotted on the set of Man of Tomorrow. Picture is of Adult Shazam charred from the second Shazam movie, to his left is DCU Superman, to his right is DCU Lex Luthor.

Every time I see our rockery, it makes me sad. Call me a nerd, but it just reminds of the #Torchwood audio 'The Rockery' and the rocky relationship between Yvonne and her mum. The end of that story is utterly devastating. It's been affecting me for years. Thanks, @verbatimfoley.bsky.social … 🥺

Matthew Vernon@matthewvernon3· Jul 6

Celebrating #StarCops day and the ol' birthday with the first episode released 39 years ago today. This intro is beautiful. This episode is perfect television. We were robbed of this series. Makes me sad when I watch it, thinking what could have been. Thank goodness for @bigfinish.bsky.social . 👨‍🚀🌙

Matthew Vernon@matthewvernon3· Jul 5

Beginning my relisten of the Sixth Doctor and Queen Peri series with the Monthlies trilogy. Starting with #DoctorWho 'The Widow's Assassin' by @nevfountain.bsky.social . I forgot how well thought out this world is. If you want a timey-wimey murder mystery then this is for you. @bigfinish.bsky.social

A mash-up of the Daleks as seen in the 1964 story The Dalek Invasion of Earth, Queen Peri and the Big Finish Rani played by Siobhan Redmond.

Watching Georgia Tennant and Sean Biggerstaff in a Miss Marple. Is this where you guys had the idea to pair them up for the incomparable Jenny series, @johndorney.bsky.social ? Dream team, for sure! Please tell me there's more coming. #DoctorWho

A picture of a Miss Marple episode with Georgia Tennant, formerly known as Georgia Moffett, and Sean Biggerstaff.

Omg 'Unholy Night' by @nogafl.bsky.social has a festive version of the Missy theme. @joekraemer.bsky.social is a perfect match for this series. #DoctorWho @bigfinish.bsky.social lol Christmas in July 🌂🎄

Cover art for Doctor Who Christmas It's a Wonderful War and Other Stories. Features a green and red shiny festive Dalek amidst a snowy barren, perhaps war-torn landscape.

Matthew Vernon@matthewvernon3· Jul 2

Take it from a @bigfinish.bsky.social pro: always have at least a series or a handful of stories predownloaded to your app. Either stories you've yet to listen to or stories that are your personal favourites. Preferably both. You'll never be without in these situations. #DoctorWho #StarCops #Blakes7

We're the only ones in. Can't wait to see #Supergirl. Been waiting for months, and I know it'll be right up my street. Don't worry, it's the ads, we're not missing anything lol. #DCU 🦸🏼‍♀️

A couple of chapters into #DoctorWho 'Battlefield' by Marc Platt. If this is what 'Brave New World' is based upon, then they've done a marvellous job. It has the exact same feel and vibe. Bambera is more like her BNW self in this. The Arthur and Merlin stuff is fascinating. This is like episode zero

The Doctor Who Battlefield novelisation sitting on a desk. The cover features Morgaine the Witch, Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart, The Seventh Doctor and the blue monster known only as The Destroyer.

Rule #1: Talk to every NPC and fight every trainer to fill your Seen Dex. Some #Pokémon aren't even native or catchable in your game, so it's fun to have them sitting in your National Dex. #PokémonFRLG post-game is full of extra Pokémon. One trainer in Trainer Tower even has a shiny. ✨️

The S.S. Anne from Pokémon Red and Blue with the multiple cabins and the large kitchen full to the brim with NPCs (stands for non-playable characters). An attached tweet reads "the older Pokémon games had me talking to every single NPC because what if one of them gave me something"

Matthew Vernon@matthewvernon3· Jun 23

Dex count 210/215 catchable. I'm knackered after Trainer Tower, but it's so worth it. I forgot Scizor is a FireRed Pokémon. That's relegated to tomorrow's problem. #Pokémon #PokémonFRLG 🔥🍃

A list showing the final 5 Pokémon needed to get up to 215 LeafGreen Pokémon. Scizor, Skarmory, Raikou, Suicune and Tyranitar.

Matthew Vernon@matthewvernon3· Jun 22

The last stretch of this LeafGreen Dex is killing me but it's also really exciting. I also realised I'd forgotten to add Wynaut to the total, so it's actually 215 lol. #Pokémon #PokémonFRLG 🔥🍃

The 10 remaining Pokémon needed to reach the 215 catchable Pokémon in FireRed and LeafGreen. It's Steelix, Scizor, Politoed, Slowking, Porygon2, Kingdra, Skarmory, Raikou, Suicune and Tyranitar.

Matthew Vernon@matthewvernon3· Jun 21

Whaaaaaat?! 🥺

According to this source Bambera was supposedly in an early draft of the Capaldi episode The Zygon Invasion where she would mercilessly gun down a Zygon mascarading as her son.

Matthew Vernon@matthewvernon3· Jun 21

And that's the novelisation of Battlefield ordered on book and CD because I'm committed to this franchise lol.

Two orders from Amazon. The original novelisation of Battlefield and the CD audiobook of said novelisation.

Matthew Vernon@matthewvernon3· Jun 21

Ending the day with the UNIT: Brave New World: Knightfall music suite by the incomparable Borna Matosic. Wasn't expecting THIRTY MINUTES. This guy is crazy good. This needs to be on Spotify YESTERDAY! 🙏🙏🙏

The Knightfall music suite playing in the Big Finish app. See previous related posts for a breakdown of the Knightfall artwork.

#DoctorWho 'Animal' by Andrew Cartmel acts as our 'Brave New World' epilogue. I know absolutely about this story.

Cover art for Doctor Who The Lost Stories Animal featuring the Seventh Doctor, Ace and Raine... and Bambera it seems.

Matthew Vernon@matthewvernon3· Jun 20

I'll happily take that ending. What a ride that was. I hope we get more from this fantastic team. Thank you to all those involved, it's really meant a lot to me. 'Animal' from the Lost Stories range will be my final story and will bring me up to date, jumping forward in the timeline #DoctorWho 🌐

The UNIT Bambera timeline. From start to finish is the TV story Battlefield, the UNIT Nemesis story The War Factory, then the four UNIT Brave New World boxsets, then the Lost Story range story Animal. Rob Valentine stated that they used the novelisation of Battlefield as their series bible, so perhaps that could read alongside the TV episode too.

Matthew Vernon@matthewvernon3· Jun 20

Them speaking of Merlin is so strange. If you know, you know.

Series finale time with 'Shining Armour' by @mrrobvalentine.bsky.social and I'm really nervous lol. I know what I want to happen but... will it? #DoctorWho ⚔️

That's the Kanto Dex completed on the LeafGreen copy. It's never a Kanto playthrough without Dontae's Zynx. 😂 Just 12 left to catch, I think, and then the game is completed bar the games on Two Island. So happy! #Pokémon #PokémonFRLG 🔥🍃

The PokéDex homescreen states that Owned Pokémon is 150 Kanto and 202 National. For context, there are 151 Kanto Pokemon, only 150 of which are catchable. There are 386 National Pokémon by this game, only 214 are available in this game.

Me talking to Professor Oak in his lab with his estatically stating "Your PokéDex is entirely complete! Congratulations!!"

The in-game certificate from GAME FREAK with a picture of an Oddish and a Diglett, stating: Player Matt, this document is issued in recognition of your magnificent achievement – the completion of the Kanto PokéDex.

The level 66 Jynx that I got in an in-game trade from an NPC named Dontae. Its name is Zynx and it has a Mild nature.

I was listening to Borna Matosic's soundtrack to UNIT: Brave New World earlier and came across this track. Felt kinda emotional at the name. I like the thought that Bambera sees herself as a mother lion but keeps that to herself. #DoctorWho 🌐

Public playlist on Spotify called UNIT: Brave New World featuring all the tracks from the first two boxsets from Borna Matosic. The playlist art is a picture of Angela Bruce as Winifred Bambera from the late-80s Doctor Who story Battlefield.

Part of the Seabird One album, the track playing is called Leader of My Pack.

Matthew Vernon@matthewvernon3· Jun 16

No cold open, straight into the theme. We're not messing about here, Whovians. 👀 I'm worried. Lock in. 'Shatterpoint' by Mark Wright. #DoctorWho 🌐

Cover art for UNIT boxset Brave New World Fractures. The background seems to be half molten lava with flames, the other half is blue and cool, but maybe not water... so maybe clouds? It's not obvious. In the foreground is a huge monster with small crab claws. Definitely fits the word kaiju. A small helicopter flies before it. To its left is Bambera holding a walkie talkie and another unknown UNIT gentleman. To its right is Savarin and Rix.

Matthew Vernon@matthewvernon3· Jun 16

'UNIT: Brave New World' has me truly locked in. You guys are missing out. 😅 @bigfinish.bsky.social #DoctorWho 🌐

Meme about a young guy. The first caption reads 'me for my birthday' and he's in his pyjamas. The second caption reads 'me listening to Bambera's latest hijinks' and he's properly dressed smartly in a suit and tie.

Matthew Vernon@matthewvernon3· Jun 14

Whoever gets the #DoctorWho gig next get Angela Bruce in to play Captain Winifred Bambera or something. That's all I'm asking. Cheers.

Matthew Vernon@matthewvernon3· Jun 14

"Lives in Buck. Palace, wears a big, metal hat." Why did it take me so long to work out who she was referring to? 😅 Let's finish this boxset. Not a bad story in this series so far. I've already accidentally listened to 40 mins of this a couple of weeks back. Got them the wrong way round #DoctorWho 🌐

Cover art for UNIT Brave New World boxset Visitants. Features a large Earth with a black hole in the side. Bambera, Savarin and Rix stand before it.

Matthew Vernon@matthewvernon3· Jun 11

Is that what the youngsters call a God pack? I'm not up on the lingo, but I did the old opening a backwards pack thing (mumbo jumbo, I know), and this happened for the first ever time. They just kept coming lol. #Pokémon #PokémonPocketTCG
