Susan Meets The Eighth Doctor | An Earthly Child

“Eight?! That’s so many! That’s just throwing them away!” 😂

When she says “Grandfather” I just melt. Susan is an adorable cinnamon roll and must be protected at all costs

[@CyberController-]

Took him 800 years, but he did come back

[@60sspider-man29]

These two have such great chemistry together I love that Carol Anne Ford got her more independent strong Susan finally even if it's just an audio.

[@nightowl8477]

McGann is so committed here

[@Mohammedamine9.]

I swear if they don't reference this when they bring back Susan to show i will be very angry

[@a.penguinwithcastielpfp]

they better be, or I'll riot

[@vanimapermai]

They won't but I hope the rumors are true and she returns in the 60th

[@chrispy3369]

Hopefully they'll just skip over the "not coming to visit in the 2200s" thing and just say that she got caught up and presumably died in the Time War. When she returns they only mention the last bit, so that Big Finish stays canon

[@MightyElemental]

I really hope they don't being back Susan. The show is not in the correct position to handle it properly.

[@Paul_1971]

@@MightyElemental I don't know why they didnt bring her back in years ago

0:55 love this moment no matter what face the doctor is still Susan's grandparent

[@johnnyprovo7157]

She also met him(sort of) in print, in the 12 Doctor's 12 Stories and it is heartwarming.

[@ishathakor]

this is so CUTE. also paul mcganns voice was MADE for audio stories

[@muggy2128]

considering the hundreds of years time lords live off one life I guess the Doctor really does fly through them with his lifestyle/travels

[@techno1561]

His ninth and tenth life didn't even manage a decade, which must be the blink of an eye by comparison. The fourteenth didn't even last a week.

@@techno1561Day of the Doctor implies that the 9th Doctor lived for a 100 years before meeting rose, which is where all his Big Finish stories take place.

[@robotx9285]

​@@EditedAF987I think that was a Recon cus I'm fairly certain that back in "Rose" the Doctor comments on his ears and nose. Implying that he had just regenerated.

[@EditedAF987]

@@robotx9285 Russell has said that it wasn’t his intention to imply that, since 9 doesn’t act very “post regeneration,” and Clive’s photographs show that he’s already had a few solo adventures. 9 wasn’t seeing his ears for the first time, he’s just constantly annoyed every time he sees his ears in a mirror.

[@paulbeardsley4095]

@@EditedAF987 The Doctor pops in and out several times in Rose. I like to think there are many years' gaps between appearances, so that the very early ones are possibly recent post regen.

[@wyrdstone85]

More stories about 8 needed.

[@MrPonytron]

This was one of my first Doctor Who audios along with the 50th anniversary audio, A Light at the End. Both absolutely brilliant

[@gaminggamer2594]

haha, what a wholesome family reunion. i sure hope that this doesn't indirectly lead to the doctor and susan losing everything!

[@jarodM6]

I heard carol ann Ford wouldn't play the character except on audio if that's true then they should leave the character Susan alone when it comes to the actual show they should never recast her. I know the character is a Time Lord which means she can change but Carol ann Ford is the one and only Susan

[@benwasserman8223]

Apparently her post-Doctor Who career was a bit rough due to typecasting. So I get Ford wanting to appear in live-action, even with Doctor Who's now-mainstream popularity.

[@neptune04]

she did come back for the five doctors special back in 1983 and she did an extra on a recent blu ray set so maybe she has changed her opinions.

[@louiswindsor7334]

I think a good way to do it is bring back carol Ann ford then have Susan regenerate if she don't want to come back after

[@DropkickMurphysFan01]

@@neptune04 she also still hasn't had an action figure made.

[@desiree6256]

Thanks so much for uploading this

[@dangitjacques5133]

Is there anything more embarrassing than your grandpa asking how you made a baby

[@debonaire_nerd]

Batman, Ghostbusters, Star Wars, and Star Trek have multiple animated shows. McGann has recorded hours upon hours worth of audio dramas. Doctor Who: The Lost Adventures - An Animated Series is still not a thing. See where i'm heading with this?

[@HOTD108_]

Not really.

[@debonaire_nerd]

@@HOTD108_ WELL THAT'S ALRIGHT THEN!

[@Mr.Nyongo]

​@@debonaire_nerdof course. We need at least some really talented fans to animate a scene or two. I'm really surprised someone hasn't done it already.

[@debonaire_nerd]

@@Mr.Nyongo A *scene* or two? How about an entire season (or two) of Big Finish Audio?

I'd like to see bex klaus play next Susan if she regenerates?

[@filthycasual8187]

I'm glad we got this acted in some way, shape or form. Would have been better seeing this on screen, but then again... fuck it, Big Finish is the goat when it comes to Who content these days!
