Can't say much about the Doctors (as I said, I never really watched it except for the movie with Eight) but speaking of Paul McGann's wonderful voice I have to ask: Do you already know the "Minister of Chance" audio drama? He has a pretty prominent role in most of the (5) episodes and the series itself - though apparently set in a different universe - is also loosely connected to the Doctor Who franchise (I think).

No, I don't think I've even of heard Minister of Chance - is it a Big Finish audio? Then it would be loosely connected to DW by virtue of that. I keep meaning to check out some other films Paul McGann has done, because I think atm I only know Withnail and I, Always Crashing and Lesbian Vampire Killers (yes, really). Oh, and I've seen an episode or so of Horatio Hornblower.

I think the titular character is based on a timelord of the same name in the Doctor Who universe - quote from a DW wiki says "The character would then go on to headline his own audio series, albeit one in which he was played in regenerated form by Julian Wadham rather than by Stephen Fry. This eponymous series, though, is quite explicitly not set in the DWU " - so that would be the connection ( ... )

good choice! (obviously, i would say that, but i was honestly not sure what you would say)(benny is a good choice too).

as for new audios - everyone is very keen on dark eyes, which i think is the only thing he's been in since mary shelley, but i'm pretty sure i'm right in that i don't want it because nick briggs. listened to the first half of light at the end and it was boring :/

Eight is... hm. It's not that I dislike Eight. I don't. I just probably like him the least, which puts me at odds with a lot of people. Everyone seems to love him in the audios, and I can't tell if it's him or his companions that I dislike more. Then everyone flails at me and asks how can I not love him.

I tend to like Six and Five the best. Charley's run with Six was when I finally started to like her character after hating her for so long, oddly enough.
