I can’t believe the capabilities of a tablet this size. I’ve been using various Android/Apple tablets for some time, but they’ve always been a bit of a compromise for me. Although they have plenty of good apps, they’ve always been an additional device and never my main device because all […]

Acer DA1 24 inch Touchscreen All-in-One PC (Nvidia T33 1.6GHz, 1GB RAM, 16GB SSD, Wi-Fi, Camera, Integrated Graphics, Android 4.1.2) I almost didn’t buy this device because I couldn’t find any reference to “DA1” anywhere either on Acer’s website, or elsewhere except on a couple of mail order catalogue websites […]

A Most Excellent Match by Matt Fitton is the second story in the Big Finish audio release of Recorded Time and Other Stories. Peri is trapped in a virtual reality world of Jane Austen, where her biggest worry is which husband to pick (Darcy or the Doctor!). The Doctor tries […]

Big Finish‘s latest TV tie-in special offer is Grand Theft Cosmos by Eddie Robson. From the title, you’d expect this to be some kind of video-game inspired spoof on “Grand Theft Auto”. I’ve never played it, so I wouldn’t know if it’s related, but the seemingly linked title is what […]

As I only seem to have the odd half-hour available to listen to things at present, I started listening to the Big Finish audio adventure Recorded Time and Other Stories. This is a collection of four single-episode short Doctor Who stories featuring the sixth Doctor (Colin Baker) with Peri (Nicola […]

Recently, Big Finish did a Companion Chronicles sale. The reduction in price to £5 wasn’t a big enough reduction to entice me to buy too many of them, but I had heard many good things about one such adventure and so I stumped up the money for… Peri and The […]

In UNIT : The Coup, the first of Big Finish‘s UNIT adventures, Lethbridge-Stewart is wheeled out to be the public face of UNIT during a time of transition. The UK branch of UNIT is ceding authority to a new organisation (given recent events in the news, the unfortunately-titled ISIS). As Lethbridge-Stewart prepares […]

In Big Finish‘s audio adventure Helicon Prime, Jamie (Frazer Hines), recalls a tale in which he and the 2nd Doctor were caught up in a murder mystery on Helicon Prime but all is not quite what it seems and the Doctor appears to be distracted. The story (Jamie remembering the incident) […]

I finally found the time to start listening to some Big Finish audios, and chose The Selachian Gambit last night. This was offered for £2.99 recently in recognition of the similarly themed bank job TV episode Time Heist. The audio and the TV episode have a lot in common. Neither […]

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 […]
