If you get the chance, you could do worse than give the two-disc Dalek Audio Annual a listen. Read by Nick Briggs, Louise Jameson and Matthew Waterhouse it’s a collection of stories and piece from the 1970s series of Terry Nation’s Dalek Annuals. It’s a bit dated in places but still a decent piece of entertainment in its…

Doctor Who Audio Annual review
Congratulations to all those involved for creating the Doctor Who Audio Annual, released December 2017. Short review: if you like the Big Finish Short Trips range, this is an easy purchase. It’s currently £11.49 on Amazon UK, which for six stories over two discs compares well pricewise. The six stories (from Doctor Who Annuals mid-1960s- mid-1980s) are read by five…
Destiny of the Doctor boxset and more news
Big Finish has made the Destiny of the Doctor boxset available and if you haven’t heard this I heartily recommend it. If like me you bought the download subscription back in the mists of time (January) you will be pleased to know that series subscribers can now get the behind the scenes Meeting Destiny documentary as a bonus….
Amazon acquire AudioGO catalogue (Starburst article)
A quick mention for those interested in what will happen to AudioGO and its catalogue – it seems Amazon have got most of it. I have more detail in my StarBurst article Audio News: Amazon Acquire Rights to the AUDIOGO Catalogue. This affects Torchwood and Doctor Who material (though Destiny of the Doctor has a separate arrangement so it…
What next for Doctor Who?
It’s been a long time since I rock and rolled; it’s also been a while since I wrote a piece of pure speculation based on no insight or knowledge. As it’s Friday and almost a week since the climax of the fans’ year I thought I would mull over how the next fifty years of…

The Time Machine reviewed
After slight delays due to the problems with AudioGO (and our best wishes to those caught up in the collapse of the company) The Time Machine by Matt Fitton adds the Eleventh Doctor to the Destiny of the Doctor range. This story is narrated by Jenna Coleman though here she plays Alice Watson rather than Clara. Michael Cochrane plays…
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…

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…
