Here’s a 20,000 feet view of Doctor Who: Stranded 1 — the TARDIS is defunct, the Eighth Doctor, Liv and Helen are living in Baker Street with a set of new people. Two more familiar faces are also involved: the Curator and Sgt Andy Davidson. There are three more boxsets to come. Question: will any…
Big Finish is holding its first social media listening party and it’s Chimes of Midnight. Full details after the break.
Big Finish has announced Doctor Who main range 101 – 150 are going out of print, moving to download only. I’ve got then all, reviewed many of them here on Red Rocket Rising; I thought I’d make a few recommendations…
November 2019 brought an early release for the Doctor Who Short Trips range with Hall of the Ten Thousand. Jaine Fenn joins the ranks of Big Finish writers with an Eight Doctor and Charley story. India Fisher narrates and I have to say it’s the most accomplished of the recent run of Short Trips stories,…
Fifth up (and that means only one left) for the Legacy of Time and it’s Jonathan Morris with the Sixth Doctor, Charlie Pollard and DI Menzies. The last time we had this grouping was in Jonathan’s Crimes of Thomas Brewster, a great story whose characters also included Evelyn Smythe and Flip Jackson in her first…
Big Finish has given more details for Ravenous 3, beyond those revealed at Big Finish Day. The second story (Companion Piece by John Dorney) has no Eighth Doctor, but has Charley, Bliss, River Song, Liv Chenka and Helen Sinclair all in one episode. Add The Nine and this will be a feast for the ears! The news…
The only Doctor Who related news of note from Big Finish Day 2018 (from the DU forum, Twitter as I didn’t attend) was casting for Ravenous 3, due April 2019. There’s a big clue in the picture!
Call me strange, but in the huge announcement for The Legacy of Time I’m almost as excited to see DI Menzies is back as any of the other great ideas we know about so far. Yes, it’s good to have Charley back with Sixie, but I’ve long wanted DI Menzies to return. And we’ve still to wait…
Big Finish has announced it will celebrate 20 years of Doctor Who releases with a major boxset The Legacy of Time to be released in July 2019, the anniversary of the first release, The Sirens of Time. It’s a huge multi-range, multi-Doctor, multi-character crossover epic six story spectacular. Do check the Big Finish website for full details, let’s just…
Over on The Doctor Who Companion they’re having an Eighth Doctor week, and as part of that I was asked to contribute a guide for new listeners on audio, suggesting which Big Finish Paul McGann titles they might start with.
So, the back-catalogue sales of the Big Finish Main Range continue with a reduction on releases 101 – 150. The news item (DOCTOR WHO MAIN RANGE OFFERS) has some very good recommendations, and I do agree with Liv Chenka’s Seventh Doctor debit Robophobia, the Sixth Doctor and Jamie trilogy starting at City of Spires, the Klein trilogy (for Klein’s Story and Architects of…
I reviewed the long-awaited Charlotte Pollard Series Two over on CultBox. It’s an imaginative set of stories for India Fisher’s character written by Nick Briggs with James Joyce returning as Robert Buchan and Dan Starkey as the rogue Viyran. It is very different from previous Charley stories and Nick has painted a very different world as he…
