Big Finish complaint email template

As I've shared in a post yesterday, it turns out that the producer for the Thirteenth Doctor audios, Noga Flaishon, is unfortunately pro-Israel... I have therefore set about creating a template you can use for emails to Big Finish, informing them of this under enquiries@bigfinish.com

Please write a personal statement in the introduction and conclusion where I have put the template's contents in square brackets!

Template and the screenshots in question under the cut.

Dear Big Finish Productions,

[As a big fan of Thirteen’s era, I was overjoyed by the announcement that she would be returning on audio next year. However, it has come to my attention that the producer of the audios – Noga Flaishon – has some stances on the ongoing genocide in Palestine that I found troubling.] Therefore, I wanted to contact you and inform you of her positions… All my statements are supported by screenshots of tweets/retweets she has made that I have attached to this email!

In October 2023, responding to someone who is concerned for their friend in Palestine being subjected to constant bombing at the hand of the IDF, Flaishon asked whether beheaded babies were a basic necessity for Palestinians. Even putting aside the fact this is a (now debunked) piece of IDF propaganda, on a basic human level, responding to someone being afraid for their friend’s life with a snide comment about beheaded babies is insensitive and inexcusable.

In a tweet from November 2023, she equated pro-Palestinians with people supporting terrorists of 9/11, completely ignoring that this event famously led to a drastic increase in propaganda dehumanising Arabs and Muslims and racially/religiously motivated violence against them.

In December 2023, Flaishon tweeted whether other people also received a warning from MENA Arts UK for vocally being pro-Israel. Later, in April 2024, she responded to a statement by MENA Arts UK by claiming it is hypocritical of them to put out this statement while calling her out for supporting Israel’s genocide of the Palestinians.

[With all this said, I cannot in good conscience buy these audios or continue to buy any others from your company when there are people with such intolerable positions still in your employment. As the Twelfth Doctor said, “Who I am is where I stand.. Where I stand is where I fall. Stand with me. These people are terrified. Maybe we can help a little. Why not, just at the end, just be kind?”] I am sure you, as a company telling us stories about this Doctor who stands up for the oppressed, will take this into consideration.

Thank you for your time.

Kind regards,

[Name]

And here are the screenshots you should attach as proof!

https://bbvproductions.co.uk/products/Faction-Paradox-The-Confession-of-Brother-Signet-AUDIO-DOWNLOAD-p389922366

  This title was released in May 2023. It will be exclusively available to buy from the Big Finish website until 31 July 2023, and on general sale after this date.

The Doctor is no more. A warrior has joined the Time War between the Daleks and Gallifrey. But how far will he go? What lines will he cross? How much of himself will he sacrifice?

5.1 A Mother's Love by Noga Flaishon Responding to a distress call, the War Doctor arrives on Haven: a state-of-the-art Time Lord field hospital, operated by the highly advanced 'Medbay Operation Mainframe' - or M.O.M.

But the station has been compromised. M.O.M.'s secrets run deep, time is running out, and the War Doctor must renew some old alliances if everyone is to get out alive…

5.2 Berserker by Timothy X Atack Sunspire was devastated by the Daleks centuries ago. The last of its people are returning to seek out their heritage in an underground bunker, and save their species from extinction. Case and the War Doctor join the mission, posing as a Dalek-Killer and her squire.

But the bunker has an occupant: a single Berserker Dalek, driven insane by four hundred years of solitude...

5.3 Memnos by Phil Mulryne Memnos: a secret Time Lord project, recording everything lost to the Time War. A place where the War Doctor can admit his part in the conflict and seek solace - and perhaps where he can find salvation for Case.

But the Dalek Time Strategist will not let slip her potential. She could be the Daleks’ greatest weapon. The battle for Case's soul will be won or lost in Memnos.
