The second of Big Finish‘s Fourth Doctor Adventures, from early 2012, has more of a standalone feel than the previous outing Destination: Nerva and doesn’t try to follow on from a previous story.  It is clearly set in the “4th Doctor & Leela” time prior to K9, so it’s still set […]

Having finished Destination: Nerva, I summarise it as it starting well and ending well, but the middle is just a typical “infection/contagion” story.  Probably a good thing that it didn’t stretch to a four-parter.  Still, it’s a fairly safe story to begin his series with.

The first of the Fourth Doctor Adventures, from 2012, is a whole different affair to The Sirens of Time, the most recent Big Finish story I listened to.  More self-assured than the their early days, this Big Finish product is quite enjoyable from the first moment. I’ve just listened to the first […]

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 […]

Doing a bit of browsing last night, I discovered that someone has uploaded the Tom Baker Sherlock Holmes adventure, The Hound of The Baskervilles, to YouTube.  I’ve wanted to see Tom Baker’s take on the role for many years, so I’ve downloaded them to watch.  Although the primary note of this production is that […]
