Maybe a Christmas Sci-Fi story?
Letās see whether Bill is as good at multitasking as Tian evidently isnāt
Okay more on the main topic:
I finished the first of Twelve Docors. It is a great story where Vikki wants to experience a great Christmas!
It wasnāt Christmassy but it did feature a bear, a penguin and a pelican being shot to the moon in a barrel to bring home some green cheese - so I guess it at least was sci-fi adjacent
Sounds fun! I want to hear that story now!
Wohooo, Bill is already turning his kids into sci-fi fans!
Me too! Can we start Billās Bedtime Story Club, where we listen to Bill read bedtime stories for us with that beautiful and soothing Danish of his?
I really loved 12 Angels Weepingānot all the stories were bangers but most of them were good and some of them were fantastic. Celestial Intervention: A Gallifreyan Noir my beloved!!
The only other one Iāve read is Short Trips: A Christmas Treasury. I remember it mostly being really funāNever Seen Cairo and All Our Christmases were excellent, standout stories.
There are four Christmas-themed anthologies in the Big Finish Short Trips book series? Four?
I remember using Christmas as an excuse to hang out with friends after school and eat apples lol. But itās actually discouraged by schools here. Because itās a foreign holiday. As if kids are converting to Christianity by hanging out (as they usually do but) only a bit later in the evening, and eating apples and cane-shaped candies. Itās so ridiculous.
Iāve read one of the Big Finish ones, and the 12 Doctors.
You might also consider the Adventure Calendar stories, which were published online and are also Christmas themed. I havenāt read them yet, but they are on my list when Christmas gets closer.
Sounds fun. Might do them as an advent calendar in December
Read the second one now. it was also good. Feels like this is a good collection!
Yay! Come December Iām reading the 12 Doctors of Christmas this year.
The third one where the Third Doctor, Jo and Mike Yates meats Jackie Tyler during the Christmas Invasion was fantastic! There is a great conversation between Jo and Jackie about what happens to the doctorās companions when he moves on. Both thought that they/Rose was the first to travel with the Doctor
Listened to Four, Five and Six during the afternoon when I had to do some tasks. They where good but nothing special.
Iām planning to read the Sixth Doctor stories from those books (except Treasury, Ghosts and Christmas Around the World, as Iāve already read them).
āDr Cadabraā from Ghosts was fantastic, and in second place Iād put āThe Feast of Sevenā¦ Eight (and Nine)ā from Treasury and in third āThe Crackersā from Ghosts.
Every year I do a bit of a Christmas Doctor Who story binge and Iāve worked my way through the first three Big Finish Christmas anthologies and am about a third of the way through Around the World which Iāll continue with in a couple of weeks when December starts. I also have the Benny Christmas anthology on audio which Iāll listen to a few more of.
