Amplify’d from www.bigfinish.com

Big Finish is delighted to announce that The Big Finish Companion, which had to be delayed until February, will receive its official launch at the Gallifrey One convention in Los Angeles. Gallifrey One is an annual North American Doctor Who celebration and the world's longest-running annual Doctor Who convention. Its first event was held in May 1990, and has since become one of the world's most popular fan-run themed events devoted to the series and its spin-offs. “So many of the major decisions regarding Big Finish have been discussed, considered and decided around the pool at Gallifrey One over the years,” says Big Finish CEO Jason Haigh-Ellery. “So it is only fitting that we launch The Big Finish Companion at an event where Big Finish has appeared every year since we first started.” Gallifrey One’s Programme Director, Shaun Lyon, has confirmed that there will be a special panel to celebrate the launch of the book on Saturday 19th February 2011: THE BIG FINISH COMPANION Big Finish has been producing the audio dramas of the highest quality for Doctor Who, Stargate, Highlander, Robin Hood and a host of other SF franchises for over a decade. Join the company's charismatic CEO, Jason Haigh-Ellery and Richard Dinnick, author of the definitive guide to the company's output - The Big Finish Companion - as they discuss all aspects of Big Finish and the plays it produces. Richard and Jason will be happy to sign copies of The Big Finish Companion, which has its launch at this year's Gallifrey One. Tickets for the event can be booked at Gallifrey One’s Catch 22: Islands of Mystery website. The Big Finish Companion includes everything you’ve ever wanted to know about any of the audio ranges produced by the company. As well as release details (cast, crew, production codes, etc), fresh trivia and behind the scenes facts, the book features 300-word synopses of each play, complete with all the plot twists, reveals and surprises that a simple lift of the back cover blurb would never give you! Written by Richard Dinnick, journalist and, himself, a writer of audio dramas for Big Finish (Sapphire & Steel, Bernice Summerfield, Stargate, Doctor Who: Audio Short Trips), The Big Finish Companion will provide introductions to all the ranges with new interviews conducted with the producers and scriptwriters. It also provides the reader with profiles of the companions that Big Finish created for the Doctor Who ranges. “When I was pestering Jason to write this book, it was at this year’s ‘Gally’ – Gallifrey 21: Blackjack – that he finally gave me the go-ahead, so I am very excited about launching the book at Gally because, in a way, that was where it was born!” says Richard.
