- “For many Tory Brexit campaigners, the ideological impetus was never isolationist or chauvinist. The theory was that Britain should become a hub of global trade, woven seamlessly into Europe’s single market while unbound by its meddlesome regulations. But that was a fantasy, unavailable in reality and hard to pitch to a mass audience. So to secure the result they wanted, Conservative Brexiteers made a Faustian pact with anti-immigrant populism. They mostly deny it, of course, because it was shameful.”

Still, I think the EDAs certainly picked up after a wobbly beginning!
I remember reading a comment by someone, possibly Lawrence Miles, bemoaning the fact that the BBC looked at how innovative and successful the New Adventures were, took the licence back and promptly commissioned Terrance Dicks to write a novel featuring all eight Doctors. I’ve not read it myself, and I certainly wouldn’t want to criticise Terrance Dicks, but the premise for the novel doesn’t sound terribly inspiring when compared to something like Lungbarrow, The Dying Days or some of the later EDAs.
