[Laughs] I think one of my favourite moments in Neverland is when Eight introduces Charley and Romana to each other, and calls one his best ever friend, and the other his best friend ever. (or was it the other way around?) Their reactions were hilarious!

(I also used the way the Matrix listed the historical facts at the start of the audio in the beginning of a WIP I have - OMG, I've really let that story lapse. I should get back to it.)

It was that way around...

Go on then! Get on with it... :P

Is that the audio where Eight needs a belt for some machine and asks romana if she's wearing tights? :)

Yes - he says something about the fanbelt on the Time Station and asks Romana for her tights!

As mentioned above, I also love the "best friend ever/ever best friend" line. It's so Doctor - and a hell of a lot better than what we got on TV. *grumbles on Martha's behalf.* Also the way he rakes Charlie down in Scherzo - something I'd like to see him do more often on TV, point out that when he's made a valiant sacrifice, it would be nice if it wasn't undone by the person he was sacrificing himself for!

The Time Lords believe the Doctor's companions are 'momento mori' - reminders of death - because they're short-lived humans and Time Lords are long-lived...

It's a nicer image than Doctor as cosmic crazy cat lady!

Have you heard the making of? It's a bit interesting to hear the other actors talking about how they did their non-standard roles (except Peter, who says a bit plaintively, "I was playing the Doctor in a dog-collar, really.")

Yes! It is sweet the way everyone is Eight's best friend - and yet I never feel that he doesn't actually mean it whomever he's talking about.

Yes!!

Definitely!!

LOL No, I haven't. I really must make the effort to listen to the Making Of - I skipped it yesterday because I was concentrating on listening to all three audios back to back.

All the Doctors and Eight in particular tend to be "love the one you're with" types, IMO. They're very affectionate... as long as you're in their line of sight.

I think Ten's probably the only one who doesn't go for 'out of sight, out of mind' (at least where Rose is concerned!)

Love all the bits you've pulled out here. I'm due for a revisit for these - once I've filled in my couple of remaining Eight & Charley gaps first. I have a feeling I originally listened to Zagreus, then Neverland and lots later, Scherzo...

Thanks.

I actually did listen to them in the right order first time around as well as this time. But boy is it a marathon effort!!
