The Eighth Doctor as played by Paul McGann
We’ve had the past three Doctors, and this week step up Paul McGann as the Radio Times reveals the most voted for main range titles. The winner is no surprise, I’m pleased at the second and thought the fourth might have come second. Details below (spoiler — look at the picture!)
While I felt Stranded 1 had potential but wasn’t innovative enough in its storytellling, I felt Stranded 2 worked a lot better. It’s more conventional Doctor Who and felt more coherent, though still had some flaws. You can read my thoughts on Cultbox: Doctor Who: Stranded 2 audio drama review. <<| Message Ends |>>
Originally intended for release last November, David Tennant and Paul McGann (or is it Paul McGann and David Tennant?) star in Doctor Who – Time Lord Victorious:Echoes of Extinction – a limited edition double-A side vinyl LP, now due for release in April. Importantly, it is now going to be released online, so anyone in the world who…
Not from being trapped in London, or from lockdown, instead Christmas is the reason the cast of Stranded 2 has gone crackers. Big Finish has also given an update on stories and plotline for this March release. Details below…
The Big Finish main range of Doctor Who stories began with Sirens of Time, a multi-Doctor tale and ends in similar fashion. This time four Doctors as Peter Davison, Colin Baker, Sylvester McCoy and Paul McGann bid farewell to the monthly releases. The release is The End of the Beginning, and is written by Robert…
This week’s (12 October 2020) free download from Big Finish is The Eleven. There’s also (of course) a related sale. Details below…

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…
I’ve been thinking (on and off) about the Stranded 1 boxset. While I believe I understand why the new approach, I’ve had some niggling doubts about the set as a whole. Plenty to enjoy, yet a sense of is that it? when I got to the end. It’s also a long wait for the next…
David K Barnes brings the first set of Eighth Doctor Stranded stories to a close with Divine Intervention. Welcome back to London, 2020. Broken TARDIS, problems with money and a house full of people with their own backstories. Does this final (for now) story make things clearer or add to the mysteries (spoiler — it…
The first Eighth Doctor set of Stranded stories continues (from Wild Animals) with Lisa McMullin’s Must-see TV. The Doctor, Liv and Helen are still trapped in London 2020, and we have arrivals in the form of Sgt Andy Davidson (Tom Price) and Mr Bird (Clive Wood). Science fiction is back on the agenda but we’re…
Doctor Who Stranded takes the Eighth Doctor, Liv and Helen from where they left off in Lost Property and reinforces the message — this is not a standard bang crash, in-out adventure. This is real life and it can be a bit mundane. John Dorney takes over writing for Wild Animals. It’s another day near…
