The Daleks’ plan turned out to be slightly different than I surmised, with the energy being used to create an energy cocoon around the Earth to use gravity to throw the moon out of orbit and cause such destruction on Earth that the humans will be made extinct before they […]

The Energy of the Daleks from Big Finish is an example of how the two-episode limitation shows itself up, like a nooWHO episode, of being too short.  Even though each episode is 30 minutes, giving us a 1hr adventure, rather than 45 minutes on TV, you can tell that the […]

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 […]

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, […]
