Coming in 2021 (and not part of Time Lord Victorious) David Tennant is back in Doctor Who: Dalek Universe. It’s very much Terry Nation’s view of the Daleks, and seems set in the same continuity David Tennant played Galanar in 2004’s Dalek Empire series 3. Let’s add in Tom Baker, Louise Jameson and John Leeson;…
This week (w/c 14 Sep 2020) Big Finish is spoiling us with not one but two free downloads. Full details after the break, but let’s just say War Doctor (in a story offered in April) and one of the best of the Lost Stories.
A quick mention for the Divergent Universe, the forum some of us helped set up when Big Finish stopped their forum. The Divergent Universe is now five years old! If you’ve never visited, why not have a look? It’s focussed on Big Finish but there’s a lot more as well. There’s even a fifth birthday…
Last week we had Free Benny, this week the release of New Adventures of Bernice Summerfield Volume 6. What happens when and unbound Doctor goes to Gallifrey? Press release below…
The Lovarzi Blog has released Loose Threads a collection of short Doctor Who stories. It’s yours for the cost of an email address — details here. It’s the work of Philip Bates, Alex Skerratt and David Wall.
Good news! If you want to keep track of the Divergent Wordsmiths, they now have a news page. They also have a page of links, and also material for people wishing to link back (and idea I must steal!). They have also firmed up (and I’m probably a year late in noticing) their strapline: Exciting…
Big Finish is giving away part 1 of Destination Nerva from September 7 2020 for one week. It was the first story for which Tom Baker returned to the role of the Fourth Doctor for Big Finish and should be part of any fan’s collection. There’s also a sale. Details after the break.
My CultBox review for The Sixth Doctor and Peri volume one is now up: The Sixth Doctor and Peri volume one audio drama review. Bottom line: good but not great and an inauspicious start to the Sixth Doctor‘s run with older Peri. *** Message Ends ***
Members of the Doctor Who Appreciation Society (DWAS) should be getting their double issue Celestial Toyroom 508/9 around now. Amongst other things there’s a fascinating interview with Peter Miles and a thought provoking piece by Dale Smith talking about heroes, gender, stereotypes and lots more. +++ Message Ends +++
The free (no email required) download from the Doctor Who Appreciation Society (DWAS) fanzine Cosmic Masque XI is out now. There’s a great Seventh Doctor cover (and even better pic at the back). It’s a mix of reviews (including Stranded) and a lot of fan fiction. The link is here. +++ Message Ends +++
Don’t worry — Bernice Summerfield hasn’t been imprisoned (well, not so far as I know) but one of her many adventures is the free giveaway for August 21 2020! The story in question is the first audio drama released by Big Finish — Oh No It Isn’t! There’s also some great news for anyone wanting…

Released today (26 August 2020) is the first part of Doctor Who: Out of Time. We’ve also details of the rest of the series of three special multi-Doctor releases. The press release is after the break…
My Torchwood rewatch takes me to Small Worlds by PJ Hammond. I didn’t remember much about it from broadcast but since became quite interested to watch it. Writer PJ Hammond created and wrote most of Sapphire and Steel back in the later ’70s / early ’80s, a great show I’ve just rewatched for the first…
Big Finish has revealed full details for River Song Vol 8 (some were in the latest issue of Doctor Who Magazine). It’s due for release January 2021, and each story features a robot! Beginning with 1960s Dalek-botherers, the Mechonoids, to everyone’s favourite tin dog, K9 (once again voiced by John Leeson)… and there might be…
If you examined the picture to the left, you’ll see Terraqueous Distributors has revealed the list of contributors for the Unofficial Dr Who Annual 1989. Familiar names include Andrew Cartmel, and a few lines up one Tony Jones! More details on my Seventh Doctor and Ace story once the book is out! +++ Message Ends…
Big Finish has released Torchwood: Red Base. It’s all about Mars and murder. Who better to investigate for Torchwood than Sgt Andy? How long can it take to get from Cardiff to your local base on Mars? Not long if it’s in Wales!
