The 13 times a year, 2xCD audio adventures of Doctor Who
There’s an offer on the new-look Big Finish website for Fifth Doctor stories. You can read the news item here: Offers on Fifth Doctor stories. There’s fourteen titles to choose from, and in case you’re stuck I thought I’d recommend a couple of favourites.
I have to take my hat off to fellow writer Jonathan Morris for his rather splendid The Kamelion Empire. It’s the concluding part of a Fifth Doctor trilogy with companions Tegan, Turlough and Kamelion (Jon Culshaw). It’s a cleverly constructed (much like Kamelion itself) tightly performed gem. Why?
