Monthly archives: January 2017

I started listening to the third instalment from the 4th Doctor’s first season of Big Finish adventures last night. It starts of with a pretty good premise – the Doctor and Leela land, who knows where, as the Doctor continues educating the savage. They hear the sound of battle, and […]

4DA1.03 The Wrath of the Iceni

January 27, 2017 in Big Finish Audios / Doctor Who / Reviews tagged Big Finish / Doctor Who / John Dorney / Louise Jameson / The Fourth Doctor / The Wrath of the Iceni / Tom Baker by Jonathan Rudderham

Most of the story to The Renaissance Man happens in episode one, leaving the second episode to flounder a little. The cliffhanger of the Doctor and Leela being framed for murder goes nowhere and is dropped immediately, leaving space for some running down corridors, before the Doctor reveals that he’d already […]

4DA1.02 The Renaissance Man, cont’d

January 26, 2017 in Big Finish Audios / Doctor Who / Reviews / The Fourth Doctor Adventures tagged Big Finish / Doctor Who / Justin Richards / Louise Jameson / The Fourth Doctor / The Renaissance Man / Tom Baker by Jonathan Rudderham

The second of Big Finish‘s Fourth Doctor Adventures, from early 2012, has more of a standalone feel than the previous outing Destination: Nerva and doesn’t try to follow on from a previous story. It is clearly set in the “4th Doctor & Leela” time prior to K9, so it’s still set […]

4DA1.02 The Renaissance Man

January 25, 2017 in Big Finish Audios / Doctor Who / Reviews / The Fourth Doctor Adventures tagged Big Finish / Doctor Who / Justin Richards / Louise Jameson / The Fourth Doctor / The Renaissance Man / Tom Baker by Jonathan Rudderham

Having finished Destination: Nerva, I summarise it as it starting well and ending well, but the middle is just a typical “infection/contagion” story. Probably a good thing that it didn’t stretch to a four-parter. Still, it’s a fairly safe story to begin his series with. After the final episode, there […]

Destination: Nerva, cont’d

January 24, 2017 in Big Finish Audios / Doctor Who / Reviews tagged Big Finish / Destination: Nerva / Doctor Who / Louise Jameson / Nicholas Briggs / The Fourth Doctor / Tim Treloar / Tom Baker by Jonathan Rudderham

The first of the Fourth Doctor Adventures, from 2012, is a whole different affair to The Sirens of Time, the most recent Big Finish story I listened to. More self-assured than the their early days, this Big Finish product is quite enjoyable from the first moment. I’ve just listened to the first […]

I’m trying to find time to listen to some of my many Big Finish audios. I’m using the Big Finish app on my iPad mini, listening to one episode per night before bed if it’s not too late. The other day, I started on one of the earliest adventures I […]
