Time for #StarCops 'The Shadow of This Red Rock'. When it's by @unamccormack.bsky.social , you know it's gonna be 😘👌 .

Wait. Didn't the Rani have red nails her bigeneration scene? The same nails worn by the person picking up the golden tooth with the Master in? Do we still care? Kinda... yeah. 😂 RTD can rescue this. #DoctorWho

I bit the bullet and started the ISPF Mars page. I don't know what @bsky.app / @support.bsky.team 's problem is with links to Fandom, but they need to sort it out. It's really starting to wind me up. I don't understand this "Client Challenge" thing. #StarCops 👨‍🚀 🟠 starcops.fandom.com/wiki/ISPF_Mars

So, six month journey there. Let's see how this two years thing works. 😅 Suggesting a six month journey back. They must spend a year on Mars. 2030 was Hydrotech. Is this 2031? No, I can't just sit back and enjoy myself. 😅 #StarCops 👨‍🚀 🟠

Tonight's relistening is 'A New World' by the very clever @andr3wsmith.bsky.social . Both Mars boxsets are currently available for £9.99 each from the Big Finish Warehouse Clearance Sale. #StarCops 👨‍🚀 🟠 @bigfinish.bsky.social

Right, that's enough posting about this. I need to move on. 😅 But seriously, The Stuff of Life is available for £9.99 on the Big Finish website right now. #StarCops 👨‍🚀 💧

Petition for Linda Newton to perform the "I understand" speech from #StarCops 'The Stuff of Life' audiobook. What a spectacular ending that audiobook has, I'm still really mad. 😂

Louis Green is a prick. This story is fantastic, and Mike Tucker is a genius. If you're not listening to these, you're missing out big time. These need adapting full series. 😅 #StarCops 👨‍🚀 💧

Nicked this off @harryisquite.gay . My interactions on here from the past month. Seems unsurprising. 🤭 Seems my bestie is @justawriterwriting.bsky.social . (From bubbel.blue )

Pal Kenzy's "I understand" speech is brilliant. I really need to hear Linda Newton performing it. It's so good. #StarCops 👨‍🚀 💧

Never heard velcro used like that before. 🤭 I'm really nervous for... someone. Spoilers. (Chapter 19) #StarCops

There's a nice piece about #StarCops Conflict in this. 👀

Not long left hehe. Worth it though. These audiobooks never let up. Great cop chase between Nathan and... someone else in Chapter 12. #StarCops

Want another one? #StarCops Mars Parts 1 and 2 available as part of the Winter Warehouse Clearance here for just £9.99 each. (For those megafans, The Stuff of Life takes place between Mother Earth and Mars. That's also £9.99) 👨‍🚀 🟠

Dates are out! Audio Novellas 7th 13DA 13th Star Cops 15th 1DA Unbound 20th Torchwood MR 27th Lonely No More 29th

Just want to be crazy and finish the relisten of #StarCops The Stuff of Life, then binge Mars, then relisten to Sins of the Father. Need the @bigfinish.bsky.social newsletter to tell me how long I have until release of Conflict to do it all in. 👀 Is it impossible? 😂

Lol Klawf looks so weird on #PokémonGO . He's usually chilling on the cliffsides of Paldea. What's the silly sausage doing here? 😅

I don't need an excuse to relisten to this. Best thing that's happened, my laptop being sent to the repair shop. 😅 I'm bombing through these masterpieces. Excellent audiobooks by Mike Tucker acting as stepping stones between those early audio series. Full of lore. #StarCops @bigfinish.bsky.social

Now I've finished my entire relisten of #StarCops Mother Earth with 'Hostage' by the incredible @andr3wsmith.bsky.social , it leaves me questioning whether a connection between Mother Earth and the Collective was ever real… or whether that was a head-canon I created and ran with. 😂 I do that a lot.

@andr3wsmith.bsky.social would you say the Spanish station in #StarCops is called the Felipe II (in Spanish) or the Philip II (in English, as Mary Ward calls it)? The former isn't used but it makes sense? And does it use the title King/Rey or not? She calls it the King Philip II? El Rey Filipe II?

Listening to #TheWarBetween soundtrack before plucking up the courage to relisten to the final episode of #StarCops Mother Earth. Sigh. It's not fair, I know what's coming. These writers are so cruel. 😅 @bigfinish.bsky.social #DoctorWho

Really need this laptop to get fixed before #StarCops Conflict comes out. Why's my life like this? 🙈 Why now? Bastard thing. A Recondite laptop wouldn't do this to me.

"We could pretend we're a couple [...] they might think you're punching above your weight." - Devis winds Kenzy up in #StarCops Mother Earth 'Moonshine' by @rolandmooretv.bsky.social . Get this series for a third of the price now during #BigFinishmas .

The twist in this is possibly the most cleverly written thing in #StarCops history. It's really genius. 😅

CD: Did you want anything other than to take a pop at my professionalism? PK: Couldn't do that. You haven't got any. Currently enjoying #StarCops Mother Earth: 'The Killing Jar' by @johndorney.bsky.social . Currently for sale as part of #BigFinishmas . @bigfinish.bsky.social

What I'd really love from @bigfinish.bsky.social for the 40th anniversary of #StarCops is a novelised episode from each audio series. 👀 Target style. Now that would cushty. 👨‍🚀 🌙 It would never happen, though...? Would it...? 👀 @jasonhaighellery.bsky.social / @helgwyn.bsky.social

My (award winning) 50th anniversary Dark Shadows story - for which Joe and Davy assembled a huge cast of DS alumni - is in the sale today! Go here www.bigfinish.com/offers/v/big... and enter MINCEPIE for the deal

Sometimes, to keep the excitement of whether or not @bigfinish.bsky.social has posted something new, I refrain from going to their socials and scroll casually through my feed until it crops up on its own. Now you say something.

What's the official hashtag for book reading on Bluesky? #BookSky or something? Let me know. Starting my New Year's Resolution very soon. 😉 #Books #BookClub 📚

The unbeatable David Calder, Linda Newton and Trevor Cooper are back this month for #StarCops Conflict only at @bigfinish.bsky.social . Hands up who can't wait. 🙋‍♂️ (Picture taken during the recording of Mars 2.)

Bargain! My #Blakes7 Warship audio play and ebook are in the Big Finish sale — get them together for less than £5 for the pair of them! www.bigfinish.com/offers/v/big... The offer code is MINCEPIE (Other treats also available in the sale.)

"Read the file?" "Of course. Ben Alexander - rich bastard." #StarCops 'Dead and Buried'. Join the fun, while the Mother Earth series is a third the price this #BigFinishmas . Pal Kenzy is on top form. 😅

Four away from completing the Crimson Blaze main list in #PokémonTCGPocket . 😄 Mega Charizard Y, Mega Blastoise, Xerneas, and Mega Steelix. I only just got Mega Lopunny because the game heard me bitching about it hehe. I reckon it hates me because I play for free. Mareep event gave me 10 Magikarp. 😂

So Colin Devis' lovers... I'm currently combing through but need to relisten to a lot. Marilyn Knox was a lover at the Met. Angela Parr the shrink was 2014 to 2017. Valerie who loved a bargain was his third wife. Eleanor who he actually liked was his fourth wife. Have I missed anyone? #StarCops

"Understood... just." - (Poor) Box, 'The Thousand Ton Bomb', #StarCops Mother Earth.

#StarCops 'The Thousand Ton Bomb' uses Worldnet as a term for kind of internet. I'm happy with that. And with the notes for 'Tranquillity and Other Illusions' spelling it as one word, that's that sorted. My laptop charger port has stopped working so that's that. 🥲 Got to wait to make that page.

New Year, New Who (and Star Cops, Torchwood, etc.) 🎉

Has anyone ever said that Big Finish #StarCops theme tune is so beautiful at 8am in the morning? 😅 I'm so knackered.

I'd like to understand this internet phenomenon where you can't just ask a question in a group or subreddit specifically designed to ask questions without a group of a people being like "uhh, you don't know that?" No, clearly not. It's why I'm asking the so-called community for advice.

Just staring at these #StarCops covers again. Can't get over how beautiful they are. And there are three more yet to be revealed. #StarCops Conflict begins next month. 👀 @bigfinish.bsky.social Artist @rafeski.bsky.social must think I'm so strange, I keep finding myself going "This is Star Cops…" 😂

What was the last #StarCops story you enjoyed? TV, audio and novelisations all included! No spoilers, but tell us all about it!

Today would have been Paul Spragg’s 50th birthday. In his memory, @bigfinish.bsky.social audio competition winner #DoctorWho Short Trips “The Wednesday That Wasn’t” by Luke Hollands is FREE, along with the studio script, original entry, behind-the-scenes interviews, and music suite. bgfn.sh/st25

That impression is SO MUCH BETTER than I thought it'd be! What a start! 😂 This is BRILLIANT! #DoctorWho 🌈

@ianzpotter.bsky.social Hi Ian. I just enjoyed a relisten of #StarCops 'Tranquillity and Other Illusions' and you mentioned a World Net or Worldnet in your script. I assume this is their version of the internet? Could I confirm which spelling is correct? I really loved your evolution of Devis. ❤️

I’ll let you know! Watching episode 1 now, working on my crib sheet:

It begins. #StarCops Conflict is promising to be explosive. Are we all ready? 👨‍🚀 💥

Relistening to this, I forget how much work went into transitioning Devis' character. He makes a racist remark in this and then instantly beats himself up about it. He hates himself for being such an idiot. Devis really evolves in Mother Earth. It's incredible what Big Finish has done. #StarCops
