Talk:The Jago & Litefoot Revival (audio story)

Number of parts
Here are quotes to support it being a two-parter: "With the 40th anniversary of their meeting on TV coming up in late March, I'd wanted to mark it with a special Short Trip, which thanks to the support of David Richardson, Nicholas Briggs and Jason Haigh-Ellery became a two-parter and a two-hander - both unique in the series' run."

- Producer Ian Atkins on the release

"Coming later this month to celebrate Jago & Litefoot's anniversary is the first in a two-part Doctor Who - Short Trips adventure, The Jago & Litefoot Revival written by Jonathan Barnes and read by both Christopher Benjamin and Trevor Baxter."

- Big Finish news

It is a first, as BF says themselves, but it is a two-part short story, IMHO. Amorkuz ☎  19:12, March 27, 2017 (UTC)


 * I'd say this story's situation is like Blood of the Daleks and Human Resources and should be treated just like them. CoT     ?  19:15, March 27, 2017 (UTC)


 * Good point. Completely agree. Amorkuz ☎  19:23, March 27, 2017 (UTC)

If this is the format we're using, shouldn't Interference - Book One and Interference - Book Two be combined into one page as well, per the same-name two-parter one-page precedent set by this story as well as The End of Time? NateBumber ☎  15:48, March 31, 2017 (UTC)


 * I don't know these books, so it's hard for me to tell if they might be seen as two stories. But generally I am in favour of consolidation for the following reason. There is a citation rule saying that one should always cite the exact story, not the collection or box set or series (I'm guessing it is implied by T:CITE, but I definitely saw this enforced by admins). If there is a such a two-part audio story or book with more or less continuous narrative, it is very hard and time-consuming remembering exactly where a particular event happened. Of course, sometimes it is unavoidable. But when two releases share a name with a numeral, it is to my mind extremely suggestive that the author intended them as one story (of course, there may always be exceptions). And we have plenty of precedents for releases published with a significant delay routinely considered to be one story. I suspect, this is done in all media. Television stories in the classical series are, with one exception, always released in multiple parts, separated by a week. As rightfully pointed by NateBumber, the new series applies this paradigm in case the story name is the same, which happened in the main show only once, but was done in both Torchwood (TV series) and rather regularly in The Sarah Jane Adventures. The audio precedents have already been cited and are also based on the nomenclature. For comic stories, this is simply the standard, at least in the Titan range: issues (typically separated by a month) are grouped into stories according to the name. As for books, I couldn't easily find another example, but there is no reason to treat them differently, if this is really a continuous narrative in two parts with one name.

The question of Interference - Book One (novel) and Interference - Book Two (novel) doesn't belong here, but since they apparently have separate titles, precedent suggests they have separate pages. This story, which appears to have only one title (yes?), would have only one page, as per other examples cited above. I assume I'm answering the question asked here?

Eleventh Doctor?
I listened to this a couple days ago and I'd swear that it's just two Tenth Doctors. Although there was something about Jago disagreeing with Litefoot's description of the Doctor... This story's not listed in Big Finish's The Collected Eleventh Doctor. CoT    ?  14:33, March 29, 2017 (UTC)


 * The juggler is described as young and sounding as an 11-year old. Not to mention a fez. The Greek Doctor is around 40. We're not gonna know for sure until Act 2, but for now they heavily imply 11. Just like Second Doctor/Salamander switcheroo, we can always change it later. And also why would they spoil a surprise? I think the whole team looked at me when I giggled like an idiot at the sight of the fez. Amorkuz ☎  14:42, March 29, 2017 (UTC)


 * By the way, I do agree that this could be smoke and mirrors (but I still believe in Matt, oh Matt). That is why I propose not to include 11 in any appearance lists or other outside pages before the story is finished. Amorkuz ☎  18:36, March 29, 2017 (UTC)
