Time travelling archaeologist Bernice Summerfield
Another Big Finish announcement (first revealed in DWM) is the next Bernice Summerfield boxset will be The Unbound Universe. A surprise to me in that it uses the unbound David Warner and the unbound Mark Gatiss (aka Sam Kisgart) Master. I thought, from comments I’d heard at a Big Finish Day, that the Unbound stories weren’t likely…
As revealed on twitter this week (thank Paul Cornell) the new Gary Russell novel, Big Bang Generation will include in its cast of characters none other than Bernice Summerfield. What’s more Lisa Bowerman will read the audiobook of the novel! This does rather weave Bernice into the new Doctor Who (slightly) and makes her slightly more canonical (if…
And there’s more timeline goodness. On the Big Finish forum we don’t only have The Companions’ Timelines Index but also The Doctors’ Timelines Index. This is an epic piece of work in progress and is available here: The Doctors’ Timelines Index. Thanks to Tim / forum user billy2. === Message Ends ===
Big Finish released their crossover / heroes assemble special, Worlds of Big Finish in mid-May 2015. I was surprised at a somewhat mixed reaction from fans on the forum who seemed to judge it according to standards I didn’t feel were appropriate. For me I took this as a well priced 3 CD release covering a host of…
Out today on YouTube is a frantic message from Professor Bernice Summerfield (played by Lisa Bowerman) regarding the planet Mars and Sutekh! This is, of course, a trailer for the release (tomorrow it seems) of THE NEW ADVENTURES OF BERNICE SUMMERFIELD VOLUME 02: THE TRIUMPH OF SUTEKH. This consists of four stories written by Guy Adams,…
I reviewed Worlds of Big Finish over on Cultbox, a review will follow here at some point. Even though not a Doctor Who title, four (so far) of the included stories have connected (Graceless, Iris Wildthyme, Vienna and Bernice Summerfield). The review is: ‘Worlds of Big Finish’ audio story review. *** Message Ends ***
Nick Briggs, David Richardson and Jason Haigh-Ellery took time to give some updates on business and take questions. These are my notes from that session and a couple of other bits. Apologies for the random nature - enjoy!
At Big Finish Day 6, a new special was announced. To be released in May 2015 is a special The Worlds of Big Finish (aka Big Finish Assembles;-). The news item is NEW RELEASE ANNOUNCED - THE WORLDS OF BIG FINISH! This is a Scott Handcock project and is six half hour stories, all written by David Llewellyn.
First Merry Christmas to all visitors to mine humble blog. Second, welcome to Big Finish-mas 2014! Every day for twelve days over the holidays there will be special offers on download only. Will there be a thirteenth? Each day (or so) I’ll update this post with the details and some thoughts. It isn’t all Doctor Who related…
I reviewed The Highest Science over on Starburst: THE HIGHEST SCIENCE (DOCTOR WHO). As ever, feel free to leave any comments (0) Message Ends (0)
The Highest Science is a Seventh Doctor + Benny story staged over two discs. It is adapted by Jacqueline Rayner from the original Gareth Roberts novel and apart from Sylvester and Lisa B the cast includes Sinead Keenan, Daniel Brocklebank, Tom Bell and Sarah Ovens. The book was published in 1993 - I am unsure why this…
So, it’s the fifteenth and final day of the Big Finish 15 year celebration of the main range and it’s not like much happened in 2013, is it?! So, there’s an offer on Light at the End, a surprise addition of the Charlotte Pollard boxset plus the extremely recommended New Adventures of Bernice Summerfield. I recommend all of them.
