Talk:Minister of Chance

So, I know it's early days, but is his spin-off series worthy of note? The extent of it's connection to Death Comes to Time is unclear as of yet, but it IS the same character. Third Bannerman 01:17, April 25, 2011 (UTC)Third Bannerman

It depends on its nature whether we record the spin off here, from what I've heard so far it seems to just be created by fans and not a proper production company like Big Finish. If this is the case then it is unlikely that we will regard the spin off as canon like the Doctor Who Audio Visuals plays. --Revan\Talk 16:55, April 25, 2011 (UTC)

Fair enough. Although I would add that the fans involved are the Minister's creator Dan Freeman and so are being produced by the copyright holders, unlike the AVs. Plus, IIRC, the people involved are all being paid a wage, which probably puts them closer to Big Finish than the enthusiastic amateur approach of the AVs. Or, I suppose, like the Obverse Books Iris Wildthyme series which IIRC is covered. I'm not especially commited to either outcome myself, just asking - so thanks for clarifying policy. :) Third Bannerman 22:11, April 26, 2011 (UTC)Third Bannerman

If you are right and a proper production team like BBV or Big Finish is doing the series then by our policy it should be canon. Check Tardis:canon policy and see if you think it falls into our boundries. --Revan\Talk 19:43, April 27, 2011 (UTC)

The new Minister of Chance Audios are being done by a company called Radio Static that includes the Licence Holders & creators of the non-BBC copyrighted content from Death Comes to Time, including the Minster of Chance and other original characters created for that production. All actors are being paid for their work on the new audios. As far as quality is concerned, they're better than BBV, and about on the same tier as Magic Bullet Productions. It's obviously a small studio, but they are producing quality professional product. So far the only Doctor Who connection is the Miniser, but there have been a couple subtle references to other things from Death Comes to Time as well as the larger Whoniverse in general. Anyway, I hope that clears up any questions as to the veracity of the canon of these productions. Cousin Zagreus 01:05, May 16, 2011 (UTC)
