Having recently listened to The Sixth Doctor: The Last Adventure and being thoroughly confused about the new companion Constance Clarke, I surprised myself to discover that I had Criss-Cross in my collection.  Criss-Cross, from Big Finish‘s Doctor Who Main Range, was released in September 2015 and introduces Constance Clarke.  It […]

I can’t explain why, but I felt something magical when the season 23 Doctor Who theme tune opened the first story of The Sixth Doctor: The Last Adventure.  I think that we so associate the wonderful Peter Howell theme with the early 80s and the punchy Keff McCullough theme with […]

Following on from its fourth segment, Short Trips (Volume 3) from Big Finish again continues with a short interlude narrated/voiced by Nicholas Briggs.  This time around, the third Doctor (with Jo Grant) meets with the android.  Rather than being a guard, this android is apparently a salesman.  The Doctor gets it […]

I listened to the first half of Big Finish‘s The Spectre of Lanyon Moor during a run today.  Starring Colin Baker as the 6th Doctor, travelling with Evelyn Smythe (Maggie Stables), The Spectre of Lanyon Moor includes the first meeting between the Brigadier (Nicholas Courtney) and this incarnation of the […]

The third adventure in Big Finish‘s main range of Doctor Who audios, Whispers of Terror, begins in far more familiar territory than the previous adventure, Phantasmagoria.  All the familiar elements from the 80s TV series are there, complete with reassuringly familiar sound effects and background noises/music. The adventure opens with […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
