With The Dalek Gambit, a direct sequel to The Movellan Manoeuvre, Big Finish (or so it seems) brings down the curtain on Counter Measures. And this time it’s final. Probably. It was fun, but was it any more. I’ll give my thoughts…
We’ve been told (not for the first time) to expect no more Counter Measures after the current pair of stories. With that in mind, I’m taking them at a leisurely pace — when it launched this was a personal favourite and I’m disappointed to see it go. If it does! So, John Dorney starts us…
Running until 23:29 UK time on April 23 2020, Big Finish is holding a vast Counter Measures sale. Full details if you follow the link and a lot to like. I’ve reviewed many (most/all) of these here or hereabouts – here’s a link from the menu to all my Counter Measures posts. <<< Message Ends…
Next stop for the Legacy of Time is Split Infinitive. I won’t give much in the way of spoilers, but I will assume you’ve listened to Lies in Ruins so I might put in some details from that story I didn’t use in its review. John Dorney has the writing honours, and we have the…
The main news from Big Finish Day 2019 seems to be an extension to the (presumed defunct) Counter Measures range. Two titles have been announced: The Movellan Manoeuvre by John Dorney, and The Dalek Gambit by Roland Moore. They are single disc releases, available May & June 2020.
So, the Counter Measures range may be coming to an end but with Ian Potter’s The Hollow King it certainly isn’t bowing out with a whimper. Where the previous boxset was (at times) a strange mix of stories, this single disc release is a one rich tale of pagan rites, UFOs, new age gurus and more ideas than…
The latest Big Finish podcast tells us the axe is falling on the Counter Measures range. The team from Remembrance of the Daleks has one last outing with the Seventh Doctor and Ace as part of The Legacy of Time and that’s it (barring a major upturn). For me, Counter Measures was the first all new range to be written after I…
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…
I had a listen to the New Counter Measures series 2 (the one with the Yeti and Great Intelligence) and penned some thoughts for CultBox: New Counter Measures: series 2 review of the Doctor Who spin-off. A good mix of tales, but it left me wanting to understand how it interlinks with UNIT. Time might tell! +++…
It’s fifty years since the Yeti and the Great Intelligence first appeared with the Second Doctor, and today Big Finish has announced they will return to face the Counter-Measures team! The news was announced here: THE NEW COUNTER-MEASURES TEAM ARE BACK IN TIME OF THE INTELLIGENCE.
I’ve taken a listen to New Counter Measures Series 1 and penned some thoughts over on CultBox. Basically a great set of stories by Guy Adams, Ian Potter, Chris Hatherhall and John Dorney. My review is: ‘Doctor Who’ spin-off review: ‘The New Counter-Measures’ Season 1 box set. === Message Ends ===
My review of New Counter-Measures: Who Killed Toby Kinsella? is now up on Cultbox. Two excellent stories by John Dorney and Ken Bentley, and a great jumping on point. The review is: ‘Doctor Who’ spin-off review: ‘The New Counter-Measures – Who Killed Toby Kinsella?’. /// Message Ends \\\
