I’m going to write a review when I’m less tired (it’s been a very busy weekend!) but I can honestly say that was absolutely brilliant, 10/10, please let’s do it again soon Big Finish!!

Glad you enjoyed it. Hope you had a fun weekend.

You should have mentioned that yesterday! Toby and I went to see that when it was in London for one night only - were you at that performance?

I saw it a few years ago, at the London Palladium.

A few more pics that I took!
I also got a video of the “audience participation” bit, and of them bowing.

Love the shot of the Dalek making it look like it’s stepping up to the mic to record it’s dialogue

I took it during Intermission and sent it to my partner with the caption “Always the professional, practising lines even during Intermission”

I had the best time yesterday, was amazing to meet @shauny and @JayPea - sorry to have missed the rest of you the day before. I was very impressed at Jay’s confidence in handing out fliers. An innate confidence with strangers that I didn’t have for sure!! Was lovely to have a proper chat with Shaun afterwards - I think I managed to, in the hour we spent together, express the 100 different ways in which I love tardis.guide
I’ll collect my thoughts and be sure to review it shortly. Like others I’d rate the experience higher than the story, but found myself emotional at points. Seeing The Doctor (the real Doctor!!) live on stage with Charlie and The Master and The Daleks… that’s an experience that I will treasure for the rest of my life.
I hope they do more!

I definitely got emotional as well, had tears welling up at some points, just the fact that these people who had been inside my earbuds for all this time were in front of me live! It was so amazing!

I forgot to add:
@deltaandthebannermen mentioned that during the show he saw (Saturday afternoon) there were some technical issues, with actors speaking before the mics turned on.
Happily I can report that was fixed for our showing (Sunday afternoon), so I’m hoping the live release uses a version when that was fixed.
We had a couple of gaffs - Alex stumbled over a line when the Master was talking to the Daleks which created a hilarious moment where Briggs, in character, said to the audience “SHALL I JUST EXTERMINATE HIM NOW?” (Or something along those lines). Possibly the biggest laugh of the day.
(Maybe second, to EXCAVATE!)
Then a bit later, Nisha stumbled a bit when trying to say “Alexandra Palace” and when she finally managed to say it, everyone cheered and clapped. That was fun.
Were there any other unscripted, funny moments in other showings?
Of course there was the biscuit moment but that was definitely scripted

There was one or two times during our showing (Saturday evening) that that happened too
The actors were speaking loudly enough that you could hear despite (though I’m sure it helped that I was pretty close to the stage)

I really hope the live version gets a video release rather than just an audio one. Would absolutely get it on DVD (and again in higher quality when it’s an extra on Doctor Who: The Collection - The Wilderness Years/The Movie/1990-2004) as I’m sure many others would either because they’re sad to have missed out or would love to relive it. I think it’s certainly possible, because from people’s pictures I definitely saw cameras dotted around, so here’s to hoping!

I would love that too but I’m very doubtful, because of how they worded it - a live release on CD and download

not sure where you were sat but they did seem to have cameras recording the event
I was sat right up front (on the balcony) and could see them going the whole time

They were definitely video recording it in the afternoon too so it will be interesting to see what is done with that.
That said, they also used to video record their conventions and that footage rarely saw the light of day.

I imagine the live recording will be edited together from some of the best performances. Hopefully a ‘blooper real’ added to the release.
Would be great to have a video of the performance as well.

Only a week and a half late I finally found time during a wee work break to write up a review! It’s mostly just me gushing for like 6 paragraphs
