[QUOTE=Mojo;592844]So - do we have here a sneaky plot to destroy humans using plastic and delivered by killer Autons? No - this week’s evil mastermind is... a disgruntled employee.
Jesus wept, I’ve given up on this shitshow of a series and instead am happily working my way through the season 12 BluRay box set. In fact, I’ve just finished watching ‘Genesis Of The Daleks’. Now THAT’S Doctor Who.[/QUOTE

Autons, an evil computer controlling all the robots or ANYTHING that wasn't the janitor would have been better.

I'm also watching much better Doctor Who: The Brig is about to return when I watch Mawdryn Undead for the first time tomorrow. And Five Doctors isn't very far away after that...

New from Big Finish next summer.

Seventh Doctor Sylvester McCoy is joined by Jessica Martin reprising her role of Mags for a new series of audio adventures from Big Finish.

In this trilogy of tales the punk werewolf circus performer, first seen in 1988’s Doctor Who story The Greatest Show in the Galaxy, joins the Seventh Doctor to embark on a positively gothic series of adventures. They’ll encounter werewolves, vampiric creatures and angry mobs of villagers, ticking every hammer-horror convention with a Doctor Who twist.

The Monsters of Gokroth by Matt Fitton will be released in April 2019. An Alien Werewolf in London by Alan Barnes will be released in May 2019, and The Moons of Vulpana by Emma Reeves will follow in June 2019.

Big Finish has several monster titles on offer for Black Friday. Mainly Dalek stories.

I just ordered Masters of Earth, where Six and Peri land in Scotland a year before One ends the Dalek invasion of Earth, realising they can't change the time line they are powerless to prevent mass slaughter of the human population.
