@JsPorter1966 'Didn't he do well?'

[Ian Branch #BeConsiderate, BeKind @TimesUp18]

@JsPorter1966 Ha ha, I travel it quite often with my Son living in Milton Keynes. Frequently see camera flashes on the opposite side.

@WhovianLife For me it has to be my original autograph collection. Seeing the stars first hand over the years also has fond memories.

[Ian Branch #BeConsiderate, BeKind @TimesUp18]

@bluebox99 @bigfinish @MrRobValentine Absolutely. Seeing this was a takeaway moment for the day. Those that went up, like you really were very good.
I wouldn't have been confident enough.
Hopefully Big Finish will do it again.

[Ian Branch #BeConsiderate, BeKind @TimesUp18]

@bluebox99 @bigfinish One of the best parts of the day. I wasn't able to see The Stuff of Legend live on stage in London, so seeing this on Big Finish Day was an extra bonus.
Roll on next year.

[Ian Branch #BeConsiderate, BeKind @TimesUp18]

@bluebox99 @bigfinish You were excellent on stage.

[Ian Branch #BeConsiderate, BeKind @TimesUp18]

@bigfinish I am on here a couple of times. It was an excellent day.

@SmithChris74 I glance in every now and then.
I still value the friends I've made here.
Just finding it difficult at the moment for a number of reasons.
Once I get settled again, I will have the time to be back and chat again.

[Ian Branch #BeConsiderate, BeKind @TimesUp18]

Firstly, to all my friends here. I'm sorry I haven't been here each day for a while now. It's been a struggle for a good few months. As such, I have been focusing on getting some bigger issues sorted.
I will be back, and in a better set of circumstances.

@AmazingPopPod 'VINCENT'S the name, sharp shootings the game.' I still enjoy the film, but yhe and still leaves me scratching my head.

[Ian Branch #BeConsiderate, BeKind @TimesUp18]

@AnthonyCGreen1 @BobbyDazz12 Oh yes. Taking too long.

@PeterDeller1 @bigfinish It sure was. But I saw the people that I wanted to.
Peter was a must because despite being a fan for many years, I had never met him before. I had his autograph beforehand of course, as with most everyone else, but meeting the stars is a must.

[Ian Branch #BeConsiderate, BeKind @TimesUp18]

@SeventiesLegend Aww, you are still young.
Myself, I was made redundant. Always worked and finding myself in unfamiliar territory for longer than I anticipated has had a mental toll. My focus has changed.
I try to be that happy positive person I believe I should be. At the moment it's a mask.

[Ian Branch #BeConsiderate, BeKind @TimesUp18]

@SeventiesLegend Thank you. As much as I enjoy the things we talk about. I really haven't been in a good place. Taking time out with finding new work and ensuring that my family comes first. I occasionally will have some escapism like today.
Just letting you all know, you matter too.

Tim Treloar in conversation with Nicholas Briggs now at #BigFinishDay.

Tim: “Katy Manning was a rock for me trying to find my voice as the Doctor, always giving me stories, telling me how Jon would do things.”

[Big Finish Insider @bigfinish]

That’s #BigFinishDay 2025 complete. Thank you to everyone who came along, we hope you had a fantastic time!

[Ian Branch #BeConsiderate, BeKind @TimesUp18]

@gjm2602 Nick and Sean were lovely. The replay of the scene from 'Stuff of Legend ' was fun too. Sean played the Eighth Doctor. Big Finish went all out to make it an enjoyable day.

[Ian Branch #BeConsiderate, BeKind @TimesUp18]

What a wonderful day.

[Ian Branch #BeConsiderate, BeKind @TimesUp18]

Hello all, This has been a most wonderful Big Finish Day. Much to enjoy.
I was hoping to meet a few other friends.
When I am back on the ground again after my hiatus, maybe I can have that drink we keep on promising ourselves.
Wishing everyone well.
