Gary Russell Interview
Here's an interesting interview with Gary Russell, who is the main creative force behind the Big Finish Doctor Who audios....
It's a really interesting look at the consequences the new series has had for classic series properties like the audios. (And I imagine the lack of any American distribution as yet puts everything in limbo here -- especially since Doctor Who magazine and the ninth Doctor novels get distribution, and British SF magazines like Starburst and SFX get pretty reasonable distribution.
Though I think one thing that everyone has to remember is that this sort of delay has always been the case -- I first encountered the Fifth Doctor by reading The Tides of Time in Doctor Who Monthly, and for almost every British show I can think of, there's usually at least a year delay until it gets some sort of American distribution.
