A May Bank Holiday news piece gives details of the October release in the Big Finish Doctor Who main range. Full information on the Big Finish website: DOCTOR WHO: THE MEMORY BANK AND OTHER STORIES. This means we’ve had five Peter Davison Fifth Doctor boxsets in 2016, and we get a somewhat overdue set of stories for the Doctor and Turlough.

Subscriber Short Trips 2010 reviewed
My wander back through the Big Finish Subscriber Short Trips hits 2010 and four more great Doctor Who stories to enjoy. Four authors, three readers, four Doctors and six companions (and some UNIT pseudo-companions) — you spoil us! Excitement aside, are these worth a listen? Short answer, yes; long answer…

This is intended as a reference and is field under Home > Guides, as are all the other Red Rocket series guides.
The Secret History reviewed
Hooray! The main range has reached #200! This means the end of the Locum Doctors Trilogy and we (hope to) find out why various incarnations of the Doctor have popped back into their own past. This time the Fifth Doctor goes back to his earliest days and meets up with Steven Taylor and Vicki. This is also a…
I.D. and Urgent Calls reviewed
Eddie Robson wrote I.D. and Urgent Calls the two stories that make up the 94th release in the main range. There was a spate of releases made up of a three-part and a one-part story and this is another. I personally believe the three-part shape doesn’t always work for Doctor Who – how would the Sixth Doctor make out with…
Memory Lane reviewed
In the few years I’ve been collecting Big Finish and scouring through the back catalogue, Memory Lane is a title I’ve been aware of but not reached, until now. Written by Eddie Robson and released in October 2006 it is an Eighth Doctor story with Charley and C’rizz as companions. Having been seduced by the trailer long…

The cast is rounded off by Charlie Hayes [Wendy Padbury’s daughter who…

1963: Fanfare for the Common Men reviewed
September 2013 gave us the first of the main range 50th anniversary stories themed around 1963 (see The 1963 Trilogy) – Eddie Robson’s Fanfare for the Common Men featuring the Fifth Doctor and Nyssa. The story was produced by Barnaby Edwards. After the disappointing end to the Arrowsmith / Klein trilogy (reviewed here) it was fingers crossed that September’s second…

Charley and the Sixth Doctor
The best companions don’t just fade away and never was that more true than for Charley Pollard. Having parted company with the Eighth Doctor at the end of The Girl Who Never Was she suddenly found herself travelling with the Sixth Doctor much to the surprise of both her and the fans. In a stroke of brilliance…
