Any word on the sourcebooks?

You say 'it can't possibly be late for the reason they are saying'
but also that you are absolutly not saying they are lying.

Oh, for the love of Christ.

Poster A: Looks like it's slipped again.

Poster B: Yeah, well, that's probably 'cos of the rebranding.

Poster C (ME!): Almost certainly not this late in the day.

Show me where I've said 'Yeah, well, Cubicle 7 have said it's down to the rebranding but it can't be that, so they're liars! Liars I tell you! Liars, liars, their pants are on ... er ... fires!'

All I said was, when somebody said this (presumed) slight slippage was down to rebranding, was that this late in the day that was unlikely. I even offered, in a subsequent post after I was given the 'How DARE you, sir!' treatment, some alternate reasons for a slight delay.

edit: As far as I was aware (as mentioned in my previous post, which you still took issue with) this 'slip' (if indeed, it's there) is no more than a month/six-weeks. This late in the day, after a rebranding exercise that the BBC announced in October 2009, and IIRC we knew C7 would need to do around Feb/Mar 2010, this conversation was rather akin to:

two months before D&D 4e was released:

Poster A: I see the Player Handbook has slipped.

Poster B: Yeah, well, that's 'cos they needed to convert it for 4e.

Me: Not this late in the day, I wouldn't have thought.

For pete's sake, nowhere have I said that CUBICLE 7 are lying about the reasons for this delay (if, indeed, it's there). As far as I'm aware C7 haven't said Jack about it. All I said was it was unlikely that the reason postulated for this delay was the correct one. And that reason was not, as far as I can tell, offered by a C7 staffer so where are you getting this 'Well, you said they were lying' from?

Sod it, I'm out of here.

Small company, big license? Fantastic for a British company to land the license in the first place, and a company that clearly has a lot of love for all of their game lines. My beef has been with the communication of the delays, not the delays themselves. I know they're coming on and if they hit half the stuff they're planning to release in the next few months they'll be doing very well. I just wish that when something gets delayed they'd be a bit more up front about it rather than just sneakily changing the release date in the shop.

And they missed a golden opportunity to have the new core set out for Christmas.

It really does come down to the fact that you only have a few people working on material. I'm sure cubicle is not a big company and it is hard to get this stuff out. With the BBC like they are and how Im sure cubicle doesn't have a thousand people working on these things, its gonna take time! I agree with them not giving anymore updates and stuff like that because I wouldn't want to keep promising something and not following through. I'm sure these guys are working hard on this stuff. Just give them time people, It takes a lot to re brand stuff and make these books. We have waited what, like 20- 25 years for a good Doctor Who game and its here! Just be patient and play your campaigns.
