Big Finish has released details of four more titles in the 2019 Short Trips range. As ever they look intriguing and full details here: DOCTOR WHO SHORT TRIPS. Nicola Bryant, Louise Jameson, Katy Manning and Nick Briggs are performing four very different titles. I have initial thoughts on them all…
February 2019 continued the trio of stories with the Fifth Doctor, Tegan, Turlough and Kamelion. It’s a pair of contrasting tales: Black Thursday / Power Game by Jamie Anderson and Eddie Robson, and jolly fine they are too! You want more?! Check out my review on CultBox: Doctor Who: Black Thursday/Power Game review. <+> Message…
You can rely on Eddie Robson to find an unexpected angle on a story, and in the third in the River Song meets the Masters boxset, The Lifeboat and The Deathboat he does just that. This time it’s the Eric Roberts Master making a first (please not his only) appearance in a Big Finish story as we…
The Fifth Doctor‘s shape-shifting android is coming to Big Finish, voiced by Jon Culshaw. Kamelion will appear alongside Tegan and Turlough (somewhat overdue) in three main stories starting January 2019. Details: KAMELION RETURNS TO DOCTOR WHO, it’s also a return for Cavan Scott who wrote January’s Devil in the Mist. There’s a double-two-parter by Jamie Anderson and Eddie Robson,…
After some heavy hinting from Nick Briggs on Twitter, Big Finish has announced The Further Adventures of Lucie Miller. Details are in the news item Lucie Miller returns! Quick summary: four stories in a July 2019 boxset, set in the gap between the first and second series of the original Lucie Miller Eighth Doctor adventures.
In the latest DWM (and confirmed on the Big Finish site) we learn all about the fifth River Song boxset. No, River isn’t meeting more incarnations of the Doctor, instead it’s four stories and four incarnations of… The Master! And that’s only half the story: the Master will be played by Geoffrey Beevers, Derek Jacobi, Michelle Gomez…
This week (13-19 April, 2018) there’s special offers on several Fifth Doctor titles from Big Finish. Full details are: FIFTH DOCTOR SPECIAL OFFERS. There’s a lot of good titles, and the news piece is pushing Iterations of I from the Fifth Doctor Boxset. I rather like Paul Magr’s Lady of Mercia and Eddie Robson’s Fanfare for the Common Men. There are other titles…
The March 2018 Big Finish Doctor Who: Short Trips was The Turn of the Screw by Eddie Robson. It’s read by Yee Jee Tso, reprising UNIT office Charlie Sato. This story brings Charlie into contact with the Eighth Doctor, a nice touch given Yee Jee Tso\s part in Doctor Who: the Movie. Is this story any good? Let’s find out…
No sooner have we had one great Short Trips set in the Time War era (A Heart on Both Sides), than we get another. This month we have had the delights of All Hands on Deck, an Eddie Robson story directed by Lisa Bowerman and narrated by Carole Ann Ford, and all under the auspices of script…
I enjoyed the Eddie Robson set of Doctor Who stories collected as Time in Office and put together some thoughts for CultBox: Time in Office (Doctor Who Audio) review. It’s a good mix of President Fifth Doctor, Leela, Tegan and some good stories. Much recommended! +++ Message Ends +++
The August 2017 main range release The Blood Furnace sees the Seventh Doctor, Ace and Mel take on a strange corporation in Eddie Robson’s story set in the 1990s. It’s a slightly odd story but scratch the surface and you see how well constructed it is, even though (perhaps) it is a little frustrating. I’ll explain…
The Big Finish main range release number 230 will be Time in Office, a Fifth Doctor story by Eddie Robson. Out in September it is interesting on many levels, including the companions – Tegan and Leela! Not only do we have an unusual pairing in Tegan and Leela (who also meets the War Doctor this year!) but an…
