Big Finish Productions
In news guaranteed to raise debate, Big Finish has announced it will relaunch how it sells Doctor Who. The main range will end at release #275. While this has been much suggested for some years, it is still likely to provoke conversation as there is scant specific detail as to what will come next. I…
Over the past years I’ve built a fair collection of Big Finish (and other) CDs (mostly Doctor Who) and now the time has come to make space on my shelves. I’m starting to sell them on eBay (UK only – first items appear this evening update: now live with UNIT:Dominion) and I have a good…
Not content with releasing The Paul Spragg ReCollections, the Divergent Wordsmiths has also released The Meaning of Big Finish. It’s a set of essays on Big Finish covering both Doctor Who and other titles. It’s available as a PDF to download here and completely free, no sign-up required! *** Message Ends ***
I just thought I’d mention my article on 20 years of Doctor Who on Big Finish audio, which appears in Cosmic Masque IX. I had a little help from the Divergent Universe Forum but the words are mine own. Cosmic Masque is free – do have a look! *** Message Ends ***
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…
Back in the depths of early Big Finish Doctor Who main range, one Kenny Smith (he who now produces the Big Finish Vortex magazine) produced a fanzine. It’s 44 pages long, was released May 2001 and covered the whole of the first run of Paul McGann’s Eighth Doctor for Big Finish. If you ever get…

So, twenty years of Doctor Who at Big Finish! I’ve only shared the previous ten years or so of those two decades, but just to say it’s given me immense pleasure, tons of entertainment, new friends and some unexpected opportunities. There are far too many people to thank individually, so I’ll just say splendid people…
Big Finish has released the schedule for this weekend’s livestream and it’s a great festival of audio entertainment. Full details in the news piece: Livestream Schedule – #BigFinish20at20, and I’ll pick out some personal highlights below…
You probably know 2019 marks the twentieth anniversary of Big Finish getting the licence for Doctor Who but you may not know the Divergent Wordsmiths are producing a book to celebrate. What’s more they would like help from anyone with a desire to share their thoughts on what Big Finish means to them.
If you’re a Big Finish fan, you might like to get involved with a project intending to listen to the whole main range, starting from The Sirens of Time. The project is Big Who Listen, and you can follow on twitter here: @bigwholisten. They’ve just reviewed The Mutant Phase. *** Message Ends ***
