While attending the panels (yeah, I actually spent some time
sitting in panels and enjoying the convention), I was amazed how many of the Dr
Who alumni are doing Big Finish audio shows.
While not the same as being on the telly, it’s something they seem to
really enjoy as they get a chance for their characters to be fleshed out. They also have the opportunity to work with
actors and characters that that span the 55 years of Who-dom.
Both Sophie Hopkins and Lisa Greenwood are working with Big Finish.
Sophie was nice and friendly. She regretted 'Class' not
being renewed. She was happy the show was continuing on Big finish. She mentioned enjoying her trip to LA and had
thoughts about moving there.
While Lisa Greenwood might not have been born when Colin Baker starred
as the 6th Doctor, she currently plays ‘Flip’, the 6th's Dr Companion, with Colin on the Big Finish
audio plays. Friendly and funny, it was interesting
to see her interact with the ‘old timers’. While she was signing, I mentioned my wife knew
her from Call the Midwife, her face lit up.
