It’s 1964, many years after Jago & Litefoot dealt with the nefarious Mr Rees and his Mind Games, and a couple of kids are seen playing where they shouldn’t be playing.  The ground beneath them is unstable, and they fall through.  In the hole, they find a curious device.  A little […]

Previously … The Assassination Games And so, 1963: The Assassination Games ends with the expected running about, gunfire, explosions, etc.  Suitably epic stuff that would no doubt have looked good on the small screen. Ultimately, though, you come away with the sense that the author got lost in his own narrative […]

Previously … The Assassination Games, episode 3 I listened to the first half of the last episode of 1963: The Assassination Games last night, but was too tired to continue it. This half of the episode tells us precisely what’s going on, what the whole plot is, what everyone’s doing, and […]

Previously … The Assassination Games, episode 2 I’ve listened to the third episode of 1963: The Assassination Games now and, sad to say, I’m having a tough time with it. It comes across like a political talkfest.  It feels like the writer has gone to great efforts to give the […]

Previously … The Assassination Games, episode 1 The second episode of 1963: The Assassination Games sees more input from the Doctor and Ace, and we follow through with Rachel and Allison going undercover. Much of the story is politically-heavy, which doesn’t necessarily make for much excitement.  Fortunately, both Sylvester McCoy and […]

The last of the “1963” themed main range adventures from Big Finish is, at least as far as the first episode goes, more of a Counter Measures adventure that happens to feature the 7th Doctor and Ace. Counter Measures is the name created to represent the group led by Group […]
