Dark Gallifrey

For all things Dark Gallifrey, which seems quite different to the other Gallifrey range.

I can’t wait for this. Hopefully it makes sense without having to listen to BF Time War releases.

I’m so freaking excited for this series. I like the idea of shining spotlights on the darker side of the Whoniverse.

I need you guys to listen to this when it comes out and tell me if it’s actually worth it, I’m very on the fence about it at the moment but if the reviews are good I might give it a go

I’m excited about Morbius. The vibe feels great What is Dark Gallifrey? - by Tim Foley - The Listening Post

Thank you for linking this, I was not sold on this (the title is nails on a blackboard to me) but the way this was pitched, and the imagery associated, AND it’s basically one of the earliest set stories on Gallifrey? My excitement to listen to this has jumped up quite significantly. I’m running a Gallifrey set DWRPG game right now and any bit of ancient Gallifreyan lore, I’ll hoover up.

Dark Gallifrey though…goodness :smiley:

The Convergence? Is this what The Eleven is going by now?

For some reason reading this back I hear it in an incredulous Romana II voice.

Honestly, I’ve heard them called so many different things in the fandom I can’t keep track.

I just listened to the first episode today, and I loved it! It had a wonderful, strange atmosphere, and I adored all the tiny details about Gallifrey’s history. Loved the images– the ship flying through the Vortex, the Shimmering Man with light under his skin…

To be honest I was ready for something good because I normally enjoy Tim Foley scripts but I wasn’t expecting something so gripping and exciting. If I was forced to I’d say the story itself is a pretty standard naval voyage structure, but it’s full to the brim with striking imagery and fun characters. The acting and sound design too were gorgeous. Really lovely!

Morbius Part 2 just dropped today. That said, I plan on waiting until the third one comes out and then just bingeing the whole thing.

Listened to part 2 today. Absolutely captivated for the whole hour. I love the atmosphere, the strange, dark fantasy of it all. The characters are really compelling as well. Really excited for part 3!

So how are we feeling about this news!

I must say I do overall still have very mixed feelings on the whole Dark Gallifrey thing but I was going to listen to this one and the audible gasp I gasped when I saw Benny… well, it’s a weird mix of characters (as per) but I’m sold.

I’m definitely interested, it’s making me want to hop onto dark gallifrey more than anything else they’d shown off so far

Ahh, the famous Big Finish dartboard has been in action again it seems!

Morbius has been a great story so far, so I look forward to this one, even if the combo of characters feels somewhat odd. It’s David Warner’s last performance for Big Finish before his passing, so that’s another reason to listen to this.
