Destiny of the Doctor – Page 2

Death’s Deal reviewed

The Tenth Doctor release in the Destiny of the Doctor range was Death’s Deal by Darren Jones. Narrated by Catherine Tate, reprising her role as Donna Noble, and also featuring Duncan Wisbey as Krux / Erskine, the synopsis promises an action packed adventure. Will this live up to last month’s Night of the Whisper (reviewed here)? How will Catherine Tate perform on…

Another review of Night of the Whisper

Night of the Whisper reviewed

September gave us the first ever Big Finish story (ok in tandem with AudioGo) set in the world of nu-Who. The story in question is the Ninth Doctor Destiny of the Doctor adventure Night of the Whisper. Nick Briggs takes on most of the roles in this action packed adventure (no monsters in sight) with support from John Schwab….

Enemy Aliens reviewed

Already August and Alan Barnes gives us the return of India Fisher in Enemy Aliens. This is an Eighth Doctor and Charley story in the Destiny of the Doctor range also featuring Michael Maloney as Hilary. It’s been a long time since Ms Fisher rock and rolled with the Eighth Doctor – how was her return? Given that Mr…

Shockwave reviewed

July 2013 brought us Shockwave the seventh Destiny of the Doctor story. Written by James Swallow (Highlander, Cybermen, Stargate ranges) this was, of course, a Seventh Doctor story read by Sophie Aldred and centring on Ace with Ian Brooker (who has appeared in more than 40 Big Finish releases) as Captain OhOne. The series has impressed so far, would this release…

Starburst #390 (with Wolverine on the cover) includes my two-page write-up of an interview with Simon Guerrier. In this he discusses a range of topics including Graceless, Sara Kingdom, writing trilogies and his Destiny of the Doctor story Shadow of Death. He even finds time to talk about his Blake’s 7 story The Turing Test. In an exclusive he…

Trouble in Paradise reviewed

June already and the Destiny of the Doctors series moves on with Nev Fountain’s Trouble in Paradise performed by Nicola Bryant as Peri and Cameron Stewart as Christopher Columbus. Given the consistency of the series so far, dare I to hope that the standard so far would be maintained? Just how well can Nicola portray Matt…

Smoke and Mirrors reviewed

May 1st brought us the Fifth Doctor story Smoke and Mirrors; this is in the Destiny of the Doctor series and is performed by Janet Fielding as Tegan supported by Tim Beckmann. So far I have been pleased with all of these stories and my perception is that most people have enjoyed them as well. How then did…

Babblesphere reviewed

The April Destiny of the Doctor story Babblesphere saw Lalla Ward reprise the role of Romana in a Jonathan Morris Fourth Doctor story that also featured Roger Parrott as Aurelius. So far the Destiny of the Doctor series been a success in my view, particularly given the price to download the whole series of 11 stories (Get…

Vengeance of the Stones reviewed

Month three of the Destiny of the Doctor brings up Vengeance of the Stones by Andrew Smith and performed by Richard Franklin as Mike Yates. Richard is supported by Trevor Littledale in the role of Garlin. Having really enjoyed Shadow of Death I was looking forward to this. Was it worth it? Find out…

Destiny of the Doctor speculation

Digging around to find cover art or other details for the Destiny of the Doctors range I started to wonder who would be the narrator for the later stories. I don’t have any insight beyond having found Lalla Ward mentioned on an overseas website for the Fourth Doctor. Refusing to let that stop me I began to think…
