No, it’s not the latest series 12 twist or sequel to Fugitive of the Judoon, but it is the news John Barrowman and Alex Kingston finally get to team up in March. Yes, Big Finish brings us The Lives of Captain Jack volume 3.
Diary of River Song series 7 review on CultBox
I reviewed the latest Diary of River Song, series 7 for CultBox. I have to say it was a strong set of stories and refreshing not to have the focus on intersecting with every incarnation of the Doctor. My review is: The Diary of River Song series 7 audio review. >>> Message Ends <<<
River Song series 6 review on CultBox
I enjoyed The Diary of River Song Series 6 from Big Finish, and shared my thoughts in a review for CultBox. It’s focussed on contriving ways for River to visit all the past Doctors and while I think we’ve had that idea now, I did enjoy this set. Others may be less keen on seeing…
River Song 5.2 Animal Instinct review
River Song’s fifth boxset continues with the second story, Roy Gill’s Animal Instinct. This time River must deal with the Geoffrey Beevers incarnation of the Master, the earliest version encountered in this set. It’s implied this may well be the first incarnation to meet River, but as we all know, memories can be deceptive, so who…
River Song 5.1 The Bekdel Test review
With boxset number five, Alex Kingston’s River Song takes a rest from wandering back through the Doctor’s timeline in four new stories where she meets some of the incarnations of the Master. The first encounter (and they aren’t in Master timeline order – why would the be!) is the Jonathan Morris story The Bekdel Test. River…
Diary of River Song 4 review
As River Song makes her way back through the Doctor’s incarnations, it’s time to for Alex Kingston to meet Tom Baker in The Diary of River Song Series 04. Four stories connected by a central idea, with the Doctor not arriving until the fourth (appropriately as it’s the Fourth Doctor). It’s a fun set, let’s find out…
Jago and Song!

River vs The Master(s)
In the latest DWM (and confirmed on the Big Finish site) we learn all about the fifth River Song boxset. No, River isn’t meeting more incarnations of the Doctor, instead it’s four stories and four incarnations of… The Master! And that’s only half the story: the Master will be played by Geoffrey Beevers, Derek Jacobi, Michelle Gomez…
Diary of River Song Series 2 review
The Diary of River Song Series 2 sneaked into the December 2016 release schedule to add to our Christmas fun, and what a pleasure it was. Better in many ways than Series 1, this time River meets two classic era Doctors, the sixth and the seventh. This means more confusion, memory manipulation and adventure! Next stop,…

The Diary of River Song is now confirmed for January 2016, and Doom Coalition 2 is now moved forward to March 2016. Details: DOCTOR WHO NEW SERIES AUDIO UPDATE. I assume Alexander Vlahos’s…
More to come from Big Finish?!
As we continue to digest the huge amounts of recent new-Who goodness from Big Finish, I’ll just point you at a post on FaceBook where Big Finish thanks us all for our enthusiasm, thanks Russell T Davies, Steven Moffat and Alex Kingston for everything and also drops in this line: [inlinetweet prefix=”” tweeter=”” suffix=””]and there’s still…
