Light At The End…

A random collection of thoughts

Doctor Who

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 […]

The first CD of the Hornet’s Nest audio series arrived yesterday so I took the chance to listen to it on my iPod last night. You know the story that Terrance Dicks refused to call “State of Decay” by the name “The Wasting” for fear that critics would call it a […]

Hornet’s Nest #1 – The Stuff of Nightmares

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, […]

The Three Doctors – reloaded!

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 […]

Immortal Beloved

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 […]
