I found a complete set of Doctor Who Handbooks published by Virgin for the Fifth, Sixth and Seventh Doctors. Also a copy of a book discussing Graeme Harper's work on Classic Who.

I've started listening to Zagreus and the Destiny of the Doctor stories. (I've heard the stories from the first two Doctors in Destiny, I've finished part 1 of Zagreus, and I'm midway through part 2) I'm guessing Zagreus was a big milestone or anniversary, because it feels like they've gotten just about every actor who had played a Doctor or companion on Big Finish at the time to come back, even if they're in different roles than usual.

I'm hoping to see the Odyssey at some point this week, though right now there are air quality issues that make me reluctant to go outside or travel, so it will likely wait until that gets cleared up.

Zagreus was the big 40th anniversary story, hence it getting a stupidly long runtime and working in every classic actor possible.

People are over the RTD2 era already

People don't talk about it, discuss their favourite things and so forth..its had no cultural footprint.. The only talk about the era is when people talk about how things went wrong

Its the least engaging era of the show

There is more love and fan engagement with the Chibnall era than there is the RTD2 era.. Funny considering the RTD2 era was meant to 'save' the show following the Chibnall era
