Torchwood: We Always Get Out Alive is another rock-solid Guy Adams story, and another jewel in the crown of the monthly Torchwood range. I put some thoughts behind that opinion in a piece for CultBox: Torchwood: We Always Get Out Alive review. === Message Ends ===

Steven Moffat’s contribution to the first set of new series Doctor Who Target novelisations is his anniversary special, The Day of the Doctor. This is far more than an adaptation of the script, it is a telling of events from many angles and plays with the form of the novel. If you’re a hard-core Moffat fan you will…
Like the first Doctor Who Audio Annual, this is a two-disc set of six stories, on for each of the first six Doctors, each read by an actor who played a companion (or the Master). The stories are from original 1960s-80s Doctor Who Annuals, and are well read and produced. The cast of readers is again Peter Purves,…
Just launched by electronic music duo Christian Erickson and Janey Winterbauer (aka The Sevateem) is a whole album of original music called The Caves. And in case you’re wondering, this is, of course, a Doctor Who themed album, inspired by a certain 1984 story for the Fifth Doctor and Peri. You might think a whole album based on Caves…
If you have access to Spotify (I don’t), you may well have noticed a swathe of Big Finish titles are available there. If you’d like more details, there’s an extensive list available (November 2017) on the highly recommended VHSWhovian website: Index of Free Big Finish on Spotify. *** Message Ends ***
Over on The Doctor Who Companion, a few of us were so taken with the new Target novels, we put together a wish-list of stories we’d like to see get the Target treatment (and I’m very happy to write one or more of them!). You can read our ideas here: WHICH DOCTOR WHO SERIALS SHOULD BE ADAPTED…
The cover for the Companion Chronicles THE SECOND DOCTOR VOLUME 02 has been revealed along with the story synopses. That’s me and Wendy Padbury on the left with the new cover, taken at The Moat just after Wendy recorded her part on my story Tactics of Defeat. Did I mention I’d written for Zoe? And Capt Ruth Matheson…
You’ll have noticed a few new series Target branded books coming out recently (2018) from Penguin books. They’ve been out in hardback a while, but thanks to an Amazon offer, I picked up a couple in paperback. First up, of course, is the Russell T Davies Ninth Doctor novelisation of Rose.
i have to be honest, when I watched Gridlock and even New Earth, the furthest thought from my mind was I hope we get more of that world. I didn’t see the need to re-explore that particular setting over any other, and I was unsure about this set of stories. Now I’ve (finally) heard Tales from New Earth,…
This week’s Big Finish podcast (2018-05-13 HATTIE MORAHAN AND CICERO) includes a trailer for June’s Second Doctor Companion Chronicles Volume 2. It starts at 6 minutes in, and runs for slightly over two minutes. It’s fabulous to hear Ben, Polly, Jamie, the Doctor, Leela and Ruth Matheson and I can’t wait for next month. I may…
January 2019 will see arrival in book form of something most strange: Doctor Who Meets Scratchman. Not the script of the never-happened Tom Baker / Ian Marter film project (to also star Vincent Price and Twiggy), but a new novel written by Tom Baker and James Goss, available to order now from Amazon. Who’d have thought!…
There’s a glaring problem with The Tenth Doctor Chronicles, one that’s being ignore by Big Finish. If you’ve taken the hours out of your life necessary to listen to all four stories, you’ve probably spotted it already. I hope so. If you haven’t done either then it falls to me to break the news. Big Finish…
