Apologies for the long comments, new subscriber here , hello from Newcastle UK .
I believe it was WH Smiths who complained about the blood on the cover of Goth Opera. Back when it still had some respect as a store. It's where I always bought my New and Missing Adventures. Most of which I was a bit too young for!
I really value your comments! Thank you SO.much for taking the time to.leave them.
How the hell did you create the voice modifiers for those Cybermen voices? That's perfectly done!!! I would love a how to tutorial on how to do that!
Thank you! I found some tutorials on RUclips on how to create these using audacity.
@@AudioSirens Ah, that's cool. I'll check em out!
I also have started to try and avoid all behind the scenes or promo chat and I think that has def helped me enjoy it more, I avoided trailers, all sorts . Used to like listening to RTD wax lyrical on anything but now I try to tune it all out. With my favs 73 Yards and Dot and Bubble I didn't know a single thing about what I was getting into and I loved that .
I think RTD means well but is too off the cuff in how he talks about certain things and I say this as a gay man who came of age with Queer as Folk and I've sometimes been joyed at his uncompromising takes on stuff but things like the Davros statement (not the actual minisode itself) got my back up a bit. He speaks on behalf of groups he isn't part of, has back projected racism into the actual character of The Celestial Toymaker , none of which I agree with. Though I still find myself less despondent about the current state of things than your guest bottom right square! Maybe I'm more 'Right On' than I think !
I'm glad it hasn't depressed you as much as it did Marc. I really feel for Marc, as he is a MASSIVE fan who wants nothing more than for the show to succeed. Unfortunately, it hasn't succeeded for the vast majority of fans.
I enjoyed Goth Opera, it wasn't one of my fav M.A's books, but I enjoyed the adaptation. Just a pity its had some production mistakes at the same time as BF's website problems . They are going to release a 'fixed' version this month (Aug) ..I think.
The incorrect end titles music and door sounds really threw me off in the moment which was a pity.
It's quite funny though, I seem to have really been into the NA and MA books which are least likely to ever be adapted, as they were either too weird or not popular enough!
(I have a 'auto-read' audio book of The Man in the Velvet Mask! Makes me wish we could maybe get more full readings in liue of BF adaptations like they did with Human Nature )
In glad you noticed the errors, unlike my fellow reviewers....
I'll fight for 73 Yards being the best bit of TV Who and tv in general for years , the most recent series had one of my all time least liked episodes, but it also had Dot and Bubble which I really like and as I said, 72 Yards which I think was an astonishing watch.
I'm 43 and in Who fandom and life in general find myself torn between the younger so called Woke take, and the older more critical position and I think both broad groups can be intolerant and too quick to judge or make their minds up.
73 yards really had me invested for the first 20.minutes or so. Sadly, it fell off the rails after 20 mins for me.
I'm not a fan of just Nyssa and Tegan audio adventures. I feel like they need Adric. It's not like just those two were alone in many episodes. Maybe three which weren't that great. LOL!!! Nor were they with Turlough long either. Big Finish just doesn't want to pay for it.
What are you talking about? This is an adaptation of a book that only features Tegan and Nyssa. Of course Adric isn't going to be in it! You're looking for controversy when there is none.
