Seán Carlsen is an absolute treasure, and someone I feel so blessed to know.
I still remember how he recognised me by my shirt the first day we met - granted, it was that shirt with his face on it. This is because the lovely Mr. Carlsen, familiar to the Doctor Who universe for some years now, is perhaps best known for voicing Coordinator Narvin in the brilliant, beautiful Big Finish audio series Gallifrey, and Narvin happens to be one of my favourite characters in the universe of Doctor Who, thanks in no small measure to his wonderful performance.
(I’m still sad that the series is over. I’d write series 7 myself if I thought I could bribe Big Finish into making it.)
I was chuffed to bits when he suggested we get a photograph with K-9, and even more so when K-9 agreed; after all, they were co-stars for six series.
You can find out all about what Seán’s up to on his website, and if you haven’t heard any of his audio adventures, go do it. Do it now. You won’t be disappointed.
Wondering from Narvin’s comment at the beginning of tw4 how many time lords Leela has thrown. Also wondering if he is one of the unfortunate Time Lords to have been yeeted by Leela.
I made a drawing for Erasure, an amazing short audio where Narvin tells Leela a truly heartwarming story-
(This may be a false advertisement XD Check it out, it’s very good!)
I was also inspired by the Three Body Problem and how similar Time Lords and Trisolarians are. Both very advanced civilizations, with powers that vastly go beyond the ones many others have. And if you make the mistake of being noticed by them, or you start being a threat just by existing, Time Lords really have no mercy
Under the command of the Celestial Intervention Agency under Prime Minister’s Livia’s reign, a team of highly-trained and qualified individuals are under the direct order to infiltrate the High Council of the Time-Lord’s and assassinate President Rassilon. Sex, violence, drugs, and lies are mere obstacles in the path of the infamous five. The mission is titled Operation Gallifrey. Meet the team below:
☞Irving Braxiatel: Previously the owner of the famous Braxiatel Collection, Irving Braxiatel is the mastermind and chessplayer behind the mission. He knows the people of the High Council best, harbouring his own resentment for Rassilon. He’s is a sly, ruthless and cunning Time-Lord and he often puts the little things such as how other people might feel in his chess games aside and has a penchant for doing things the hard way. Any rumour you hear about Irving Braxiatel is probably true.
☞ Romana Trey: As the smartest member of the squad, Miss. Trey was assigned to the facts of the mission, the logistics. She takes the plans of both Livia and Braxiatel and translates them into reality. However, her brains aren’t her only useful abilities and she can prove it with a solid left hook. She is very fond of her dog, K9 and will more than likely kill you in your sleep if you make fun of its name.
☞ Leela Sevateem: Leela was quick to discover that her body was just as useful as the knife that’s strapped to her hip. She has a niche in bringing the influential to their knees (literally) and drawing from them their deepest secrets. In her spare time, she likes to tease Narvin relentlessly.
☞ Narvin: He speaks best in code and knows the exact buttons to press that will bring an entire corporation (or government) to his feet. No security camera, algorithm, man, or woman, are too complex for him to break completely. He is also a brilliant engineer and has a knack of spying. Blink twice and he’s in. Your body, mind, thoughts, everywhere.
☞Dorothy “Ace” Mcshane:Ms Mcshane is otherwise known as Ace. Call her Dorothy to her face and you’ll find yourself blown to pieces. When she was a young child, she quickly learned she liked to figure out how to blow things up. The bigger, the brighter, the better. She’s utterly unafraid to get her hands dirty and primarily busies herself with inventing new explosives. Notable for her knowledge of fifty efficient ways of how to dispose a Dalek.

My favourite Narvin moment is by far that bit in Enemy Lines where Narvin is in the panoptican doing his goodest spy work for Romana only to hear over the tannoy that she is a) resigning as president and b) STEALING HIS JOB
I like to imagine a Thick of It style rampage up to the presidential office to ask her what the hell she thinks she’s doing. Full Malcolm Tucker. Just think about the day he’s having. Poor boy.
I made Braxiatel, Romana, and Narvin from unmodified LEGO parts. Leela’s arms are swapped, her legs are custom printed, and her loincloth (which I hand-painted) is from @brickwarriors
Happy #figbarffriday Whovian LEGO fans! 4th Doctor & Sarah Jane from minifigs.me; K9 & TARDIS LEGO official. PLUS my own @bigfinishprod Gallifrey series custom minifigs! Braxiatel, Romana, & Narvin are all made from unmodified LEGO parts. Leela’s arms are swapped from another torso, her legs are custom printed, & her loincloth (which I painted) is from brickwarriors.com.
