The 7th Doctor

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 […]

Crime of the Century by Andrew Cartmel is one of the “lost stories” that was planned for the TV series but didn’t make it to the screen due to the series’ cancellation.  Here we have Big Finish‘s audio version.  This is a difficult story to describe, as it doesn’t seem […]

I bought Thin Ice from Big Finish‘s range of audio ‘Lost Stories’ during a special offer in 2014, but I hadn’t got around to listening to it.  Now that I’ve listened to UNIT: Dominion and I’m more familiar with Raine Creevey as the 7th Doctor’s companion, it seemed like the […]

Following on from its fifth segment, Short Trips (Volume 3) from Big Finish again continues with a short interlude narrated/voiced by Nicholas Briggs.  Still being the “sales android”, the 2nd Doctor (with Jamie) tricks it into a form of the irresistible force paradox.  The android believes that his armour can withstand […]

Short Trips (Volume 3) from Big Finish begins with a short 5-minute piece narrated/voiced by Nicholas Briggs.  The 7th Doctor and Ace are in a gray space, where everything is gray, and there’s no sign of the TARDIS. There’s a gray door guarded by a gray android. The Doctor tells […]

The fifth adventure in Big Finish‘s main range of Doctor Who audios, The Fearmonger, uses the political backdrop of an upcoming election to introduce a new alien “monster”. The cover photo suggests some kind of politically-heavy right-wing bashing storyline but what we get is a somewhat confused meandering story of […]
