Big Finish has given lots of details for the judging of the 2020 Paul Spragg Memorial Short Trips Opportunity and it’s good to note there were twice the usual number of entries. Well done to everyone for getting something in under the deadline. It’s not as easy as some might think. I look forward to…
I’ve not posted any artwork for a while, so this I found on the Divergent Universe from TardyBox TardyBox (aka Marshall Tankersley) is long overdue. It’s a brilliant focus on the Fourth Doctor story City of Death. I wish I had a tenth that much talent — enjoy! (== Message Ends ==)
Over on The Doctor Who Companion, Rick Lundeen has given his thoughts on what a total remake of Doctor Who might look like were it to be remade. His thoughts are: THE AMERICAN VERSION OF DOCTOR WHO. I didn’t think Rick went far enough with his ideas as you’ll see in the comments. It’s worth…

The Doctor Who Appreciation Society (DWAS) has published Celestial Toyroom 507, and the cover looks fantastic (see left)! The contents mentions Doctor Who and the Triffids, The Kraken, The Chrysalids and So Much More — which I wrote! Let me know what you thought of it. +++ Message Ends +++

The Doctor Who Appreciation Society has released details on contents and cover for the return of TARDIS Magazine. Completely by chance this has Sarah Jane Smith on the cover (with the Fourth Doctor). It’s available to by now and looks like it will be something to collect — 60 pages, A4 and colour!

David K Barnes brings the first set of Eighth Doctor Stranded stories to a close with Divine Intervention. Welcome back to London, 2020. Broken TARDIS, problems with money and a house full of people with their own backstories. Does this final (for now) story make things clearer or add to the mysteries (spoiler — it…
The first Eighth Doctor set of Stranded stories continues (from Wild Animals) with Lisa McMullin’s Must-see TV. The Doctor, Liv and Helen are still trapped in London 2020, and we have arrivals in the form of Sgt Andy Davidson (Tom Price) and Mr Bird (Clive Wood). Science fiction is back on the agenda but we’re…
Coming in November 2020 are three new adventures for the Tenth Doctor and River Song. David Tennant and Alex Kingston have been recording in lockdown and the result is three new stories. The press release follows…
Doctor Who Stranded takes the Eighth Doctor, Liv and Helen from where they left off in Lost Property and reinforces the message — this is not a standard bang crash, in-out adventure. This is real life and it can be a bit mundane. John Dorney takes over writing for Wild Animals. It’s another day near…
With Stranded, Big Finish takes the Eighth Doctor, Liv and Helen to a Covid-free version of London 2020. There they must survive without TARDIS and most of the Doctor’s trickery (no sonic nor psychic paper). Instead they might even have to get jobs! It’s all very different and for me, overdue. I’m reviewing these one…
Big Finish has announced details for upcoming Torchwood boxset — Torchwood Soho — Parasite. It is (of course) more adventures for Sgt Andy Davison, fresh from Baker Street in Doctor Who: Stranded (or maybe before?!) and Norton Folgate. Lots of great actors and a different type of storytelling. Good news is Big Finish still expects…
