I am so fed up of not having a new laptop yet. Probably the fact that I know I should have one within the next fortnight or so is making this worse. And I know it is a stupid and petty thing to be annoyed about... but there it is. Emergency backup laptop is great but slooowww and I want to make iiiiicons! I have a load of Mind Robber caps (major advantage of classic laptop: PowerDVD!) sitting on my hard drive waiting for me to do something with. Yes I would like some cheese with my whine, thank you kindly.

Just after I typed all that an amazon package arrived with the first batch of my replacement DVDs in it, which has effectively stopped me feeling sorry for myself. Hurray! Also the sun is warm, there are set photos from series 2 of the Sarah Jane Adventures (warning! spoilers!) and Big Finish has announced that the Companion Chronicles is going to be an ongoing series, including companions from Doctors 5-8 as well, plus "characters that aren't strictly companions". This makes me a very happy fan (as long as I ignore the somewhat repetitious discussion over at The Forum Formerly Known As Outpost Gallifrey) - more stories! Companiony stories! One starring Sara Kingdom! Joy! Also, if the picture on the link is the cover for the Susan one... pretty. I've not been that impressed with the covers for the latest of the main range releases, but the black bar format seems to work really well for the Companion Chronicles.

ETA: SJA spoilers in the comments!

I'm hoping they're going to go on doing the Companion Chronicles long enough to have some Martha and Donna ones in the not too distant future (although I suppose that'll depend on where Martha's story goes after S4 given she's in the TW Radio 4 play this summer)...

Or Modern!UNIT with Martha ! Eee !!

(Talking of UNIT audios, I have them now - just need to find time to *listen* to them ! I'm going to have a major splurge of non-RTD!Who after S4 finishes airing, I reckon - DVDs and audios...)

Sorry, didn't mean to babble so much !

Yeah, I'm looking forward to Big Finish getting their hands on new Who. I love their take on UNIT so if they did Martha UNIT stories that would be... *happyflail* Especially if they somehow smushed their UNIT and new UNIT together into one big canon thing. Though that is probably less likely.

OMG ! Martha and THE Brig in the same audio?! My fangirl heart would just EXPLODE with glee!! :D

Yay, UNIT audios! I hope you like them, after I encouraged you to get them and everything.

Well I'll definitely be posting a review of them on my LJ in due course. But if I don't - I won't hold it against you !

A non-RTD!Who splurge sounds like a great way to combat post-finale blues.

*nods*

You definitely weren't babbling, no need to apologise :)

Nice of you to say so. I know I do get passionately excited sometimes...

Martha and the Brig together! *squees at the thought* I think they'd get on really well.

Oh definitely ! (I wrote fic - they did ! :P)

I look forward to reading your reviews...

Thanks.

Reminds me - I must finish writing my reviews of some SJS/Four novels I read recently so I can post them...
