BBV Doctor Who Novelizations

In the 1990s during the “Wilderness Years” when Doctor Who was off the air BBV productions produced some audio adventures using some of the same actors that were in the series. This along with the novels, Big Finish and some non-licensed productions helped keep Doctor Who alive during this dry spell for the TV show. It is one of the main reasons I am such an Uber-fan of the series. All of the varied media alongside the show creates an interconnected tableau of one cohesive universe with everything canon. BBV has released novelizations of some of their audios.

Taste Test – Alaska Pollock (McDonald’s Filet-O-Fish)

I recently watched a documentary on the Alaska Pollock fishery in the northern Pacific Ocean. Alaska pollock was long put in its own genus, Theragra, and classified as Theragra chalcogramma, but research in 2008 has shown it is rather closely related to the Atlantic cod and should therefore be moved back to Gadus, where it was originally placed. It is considered the largest sustainable fishery in the world and supplies the raw material for most of the fast food fish products such as McDonald’s Filet-O-Fish. Having peaked my interest I decided to try a Filet-O-Fish since I never had one before.

Terrible, I did not finish

An interesting story, Rita when she was pregnant with Alex she craved Filet-O-Fish to the extent she would get dressed and go out during winter storms to get her fix. She does not even like fish before or after her pregnancy.
