The 2020 batch of Fourth Doctor Adventures comes to a close with Andrew Smith’s Quest of the Engineer. Andrew gets to write for Adric who he first introduced to us in the 1980 story Full Circle. Once more, by the magic of Big Finish, the Fourth Doctor, Romana, K9 and Adric are lost in e-Space,…
Big Finish has today released the first of two four-disc sets for the Fourth Doctor taking him back to e-Space! That means Romana, K9 and Adric. They’ve also released some details about February’s stories, and of course Adric must surely mean Andrew Smith?!
August 2019 brought Emissary of the Daleks to the main range. Andrew Smith wrote this Sixth Doctor and Peri tale, and as the title makes clear there are Daleks. A tiny part of me wondered why it wasn’t called Representative of the Daleks to fit with the ‘R’ them for Dalek stories. Most of me…
It’s a return to Skaro for the First Doctor, in March 2020. Big Finish has released details of The First Doctor Adventures Volume 4, with the return to Skaro and a new historical story. Details below.
If you happen to be on or near the Isle of Wight this August Bank Holiday weekend (2019), you might want to pop along to Cowes Enterprise College. Now, you need to also know the Isle of Wight will be heaving with visitors that weekend, but Cowes is well served with transport from Southampton, so…
It’s a new year and a new era for the Fourth Doctor as we get the first of two boxsets in The Syndicate Master Plan. If that weren’t excitement enough, there’s a brand new companion. WPC Ann Kelso played by Jane Slavin. And who better to introduce a WPC to the TARDIS than former policeman Andrew Smith? It’s…
I reviewed the splendid First Doctor Adventures Volume 2 for Cultbox in the inevitably named: Doctor Who: The First Doctor Adventures Volume 2 review. I liked the first set but to me this flowed better. My review mentions HG Wells – my thoughts were the Eloi from The Time Machine and also the way the Martians died in…
I put some thoughts on Andrew Smith’s excellent Sixth Doctor story Hour of the Cybermen in a review for CultBox: Doctor Who: Hour Of The Cybermen review. +++ Message Ends +++
Big Finish is winding up April 2018 with a massive 60% reduction on Lost Stories (and don’t forget the big April 99 for 99 sale). There’s a lot to recommend in this set and lot’s I’ve still to listen to, hence the shortage of on-site reviews. Do take a look: SAVE 60% ON DOCTOR WHO LOST STORIES. There’s…
The Fourth Doctor Adventures has a new packaging: four stories released as one set, rather than a monthly range. Whatever the commercial reasons, the quality of stories is undiminished and it means a huge treat for Tom Baker fans, followed by a desperate wait for the next set. This series gives us the return of Louise…
I enjoyed the change of pace in UNIT: Encounters and put together a review for CultBox: UNIT Encounters review. Well done Matt Fitton, Roy Gill, Andrew Smith and John Dorney. <>< Message Ends ><>
I put together some thoughts on the highly enjoyable Third Doctor Adventures Volume 03 for CultBox. It’s two great stories from Nick Briggs and Andrew Smith with Katy Manning back as Jo Grant. Tim Treloar is in good form as the Third Doctor and it’s well worth a listen. The review is: Doctor Who: The Third Doctor Adventures…
