The Fourth Doctor goes back to 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?!
Emissary of the Daleks review
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…

See Andrew Smith and Rob Shearman on the Isle of Wight
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…
The Sinestran Kill review
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…
First Doctor Adventures volume 2 review
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…

Lost Stories recommendations
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…
Fourth Doctor Adventures Series 7 Volume 1 review
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…

Third Doctor Adventures Volume 03 review
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…
