Doctor Who

Thanks to the recent Big Finish sale, I’ve been listening to the first series of Jago & Litefoot over recent evenings.  There have been 10 series of Jago & Litefoot now (each series being a box-set of four adventures, with the 10th due out in October 2015).  Sadly, at £30/£35 […]

I received the physical set of The Light at the End yesterday. This is the “deluxe CD” presentation.  It consists of two parts – a solid outer sleeve and an inner hardback book.  Together they’re a little larger than a DVD case but would fit on your shelf of trade […]

The Light at the End encouraged me to seek out Big Finish’s first multi-Doctor story from way back in 1999 and I began listening to the first part of The Sirens of Time last night to see how it compares to their latest multi-Doctor adventure. The following review may contain […]

In an act that almost brought down their servers and crippled their website, Big Finish released The Light at the End one month early (yesterday, 23rd October). Needless to say, everyone wanted to download it at the same time.  I was able to download it and I listened to it […]

Becoming a little disillusioned as I am with the BBC’s feeble efforts at celebrating Doctor Who‘s 50th Anniversary this year, I’ve been tempted to spend some time browsing the Big Finish catalogue of audios.  My present budget restricts my selection to the most affordable releases only, but there are a […]

I listened to the first part of Spare Parts from Big Finish last night and really enjoyed it.  Spare Parts is the 34th story in their Doctor Who: Main Range series and features Peter Davison as the Fifth Doctor, accompanied by Sarah Sutton as Nyssa.  This is a full-cast adventure […]

Actually, I couldn’t think of a better title to say “The Three Doctors, but not those three…”.  As I’ve recently been turning some of my CD collection into iPod tracks and having stumbled across a couple of audio Doctor Who‘s that I bought some years ago but didn’t listen to, […]

It’s not often that I fork out on non-canon Doctor Who adventures, so this is a bit of a rarity for me. Big Finish‘s audio adventure The Mahogany Murderers sees the return of two characters from Doctor Who who, although only appearing in one adventure and only working together in […]

Following on from last week’s Horror of Glam Rock, the BBC7 Doctor Who adventures continued last night with an episode entitled Immortal Beloved by Jonathan Clements. This one’s a bit of a mixed-bag compared to last week’s.  The 8th Doctor (Paul McGann) is still trying to get Lucie back to […]

No, don’t laugh at the silly title, which is obviously a play on the 4th Doctor’s televised serial of The Horror of Fang Rock from the 70s. Going through the endless cable channels with their evermore endless rubbish programmes, I stumbled onto BBC7 (radio) on Sunday evening and they have […]
