I’ve always considered the Philip Hinchcliffe/Robert Holmes era of Doctor Who as being one of consistently high quality.  There isn’t really a bad story there. Its strength and its weakness is of drawing on genres that were exploited by the likes of Hammer Horror around the same time.  Some might […]

Following from The Haunting, episode 1, episode 2 of Jago & Litefoot & Strax : The Haunting from Big Finish begins with the resolution of the cliffhanger.  The cliffhanger of Jago being accosted by Multravers and her gun results in … Litefoot and Strax finding Jago in a confused state, […]

I’m not always enamoured of the modern version of Doctor Who and I have such a large collection of Big Finish audios that it’ll be some time before I have the enthusiasm to buy into their offerings from the current era.  But what to do when the modern era mixes […]

The final 75 minutes of The Third Doctor Adventures, volume 1 consists of behind-the-scenes interviews for both stories.  The most interesting of the two is listening to discussons of how it came to be that Tim Treloar was chosen to play the third Doctor, and how Treloar prepares his voice. The […]

The final episode of Prisoners of the Lake, by Justin Richards, sees the adventure end in a suitably explosive climax.  The savage alien race are emerging from their suspended animation, and they’re ready to conquer Earth and enslave humanity!

Prisoners of the Lake, by Justin Richards, continues as with a gradually unfolding storyline that makes use of its four episodes well.  The cliff-hangers are traditional “scary monster growls at/traps heroes”, but that’s almost to be expected. In the second episode, the Doctor is delayed in his rescue of Jo and Freda […]

When Big Finish offered the first in their The Third Doctors Adventures range at a special price (£15 download, instead of £25 download / £30 CD), I was in two minds as to whether to buy it.  I’ve previously listened to a couple of their “recast” Third Doctor efforts – […]
