Lady Christina series 2 review on Cultbox

I quite like the Lady Christina series, even though it’s rather flawed in places. It’s fun and seems to set out to entertain, sometimes that’s all I want from an audio (or even a TV show). I found lots of faults in Lady Christina series 2, as you’ll see in my Cultbox review: Lady Christina…

First Doctor Adventures volume 5 review on Cultbox

At first I was very unsure of the recast First Doctor range from Big Finish, but they’ve grown on me a lot. I enjoyed the latest (Volume 05) instalment, though a few things I felt might have been better handled. You can see my thoughts in my Cultbox review: The First Doctor Adventures Volume 05…
