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 […]

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 […]
