Comeback is the first of Big Finish’s Sarah Jane Smith adventures (not to be confused with the later TV series for the kiddie audience) starring the late Elisabeth Sladen begins as a bit of a disjointed affair. The first scene sees Sarah mourning over the loss of her Aunt Lavinia, […]

I’ve been listening to the Big Finish free except from their audio classic The Invisible Man starring the late John Hurt last night. The excerpt is the first 20 minutes of the full 2-hour release that’s due out in February. I’m more familiar with various televised versions and movies of […]
