Wow. I think it could be said that Rose was short-changed throughout Doctor Who. She wasn't allowed a true chance to grow up, to learn to take on responsibilities and to treat others with respect. Mind, the Doctor did her no favors there. (Which reminds me that I need to get back to writing my alternate New Who series with a different blonde as the companion...)
I wonder if the Big Finish honchos are not so keen on the whole Doctor/Rose thing in the first place. And if the writers felt happy with any of their efforts. The worst Eight audios I've heard so far sound far better than what you've described here. :(
But I wonder if the biggest problem is that they realized that BP needed more time than they could give her to learn voice work and due to the commitments they made had to go ahead with it on schedule. The kinder thought is that BP has lost the ability to manage that accent, rather than to think that she didn't try. And yet it seems that the writing problem continues to plague the Doctor's companions!
Is there any way to find out how well this series is doing? Or will we have to wait until Gallifrey One?
