The cover art of the Big Finish audio story The Nowhere Place. Starring Colin Baker as the Doctor, it was released in 2006.

If that short clip was a sign of things to come then i fear the worst.

Great to see Julian Bleach as scientist Davros, but the bumbling idiot alongside him.

Davros wouldn't tolerate that stupidity.

Meanwhile Tennant seemed to be a parody of his former incarnation

Yeah I'm out. Cancelled Disney+. I just cannot with the insufferableness that is New Who.

Watched some vintage Doctor Who thanks to BBC iplayer,

The Time Warrior.
First time seeing this one, the first episode isn't really the best for me, even though it was only 20 odd mins it felt like it was dragging on then come the second episode that was it, I enjoyed it more and got engrossed in it that time flew by.

Invasion.
This one cracked me up big time, given the budged back in the day and probably spectacular to watch but the first sighting of the soldiers shooting was comical, their target is right in front of then but obviously not given the right mark where to shoot.

The story itself was interesting, but the Doctor seemed to let his guard down alot and be lead astray and easily fall for a few deceptions but again enjoyable.
