Who's Next
I forgot to mention, in the aftermath of last week's travel, that my pitch to Steven Savile's forthcoming Doctor Who anthology for Big Finish, Destination: Prague, has received the green light. Entitled "The End of Now," it's a brief little romp for the Fourth Doctor and the second Romana in the streets of 30th century Prague. Any project that requires me to rewatch "The City of Death" and "The Talons of Weng-Chiang" as research is aces in my book. (Though for my sins I watched "Battlefield" for the first time last night, a Seventh Doctor outing written by Ben Aaronovitch, the man responsible for two of my favorite Who novels, and I'll confess I had trouble making heads or tails of it. I'm doing a bit of Arthurian-legend-meets-superscience myself, in End of the Century, and was worried that Who had gotten there first; I needn't have worried...)
