Another drive-by comment: Time of The Daleks isn't proving to be a particularly interesting audio play, but so far it's been worth it just to hear Daleks reciting Shakespeare.

Now-is-the-ver-ry-witch-ing-hour...


And one minor bitchy grumble. I've just got the Doctor Who and Brisco County DVDs. Is it really wrong to wish that I could just watch and knit for a weekend? A week?

Daleks... reciting Shakespeare.

Who is the artist behind this idea of cracktastic genius?

[neadods.livejournal.com]

The script was by Justin Richards (which explains its extreme prosaic-ness) and it was directed by Nick Briggs, who is the main Dalek voice these days (which is why it is so utterly cracktastic.)

Briggs had to have had the time of his life grinding once-more-in-to-the-breech and bits of Hamlet & Richard III into the voice box.

I don't think I will ever be able to get over the concept of Daleks reciting Shakespeare. Seriously.

Grab a copy of Big Finish #32 and hear for yourself!

But that would involve, you know, spending money.

Looks like you're also a member of the Comm That Must Not Be Named In Public. Check their audio/Eighth Doctor tags.

Aye aye, captain.
