The Fifth Doctor as played by Peter Davison
Big Finish has released details of two forthcoming Fifth Doctor main range releases and they’re linked! The two form the story Shadow of the Daleks and will arrive late 2020. It’s also (thanks to lockdown) a set of eight short stories, not two longer ones. Interesting! The full press release follows.
Coming in November 2020 are three new adventures for the Tenth Doctor and River Song. David Tennant and Alex Kingston have been recording in lockdown and the result is three new stories. The press release follows…
Following the recent announcement regarding upcoming main range releases, Big Finish has given more information. It’s all about Peter Davison’s Fifth Doctor as he spends time away from his companions. The press releases follows after the break…
Despite the announcement of the end of the main range, Big Finish still has a good few titles to release;-) There’s been some shuffling due to lockdown, but all has settled. Details after the break.
Not meant to be a reference to lockdown, the latest (27 Apr 2020) weekly download only freebie from Big Finish is 1,001 Nights. Don’t forget it’s only free for a week, and there’s a sale (big Fifth Doctor savings)! Details below…
Big Finish has gone sale crazy and I must mention the main range 1-50 sale. It runs until April 20, 2020 (23:59 UK time) and each main range title is on sale (downloads only) for £1.49. You can’t go out and grab a coffee, so why not grab a few of these instead? You can…
Great news of a new Fifth Doctor boxset with Peter Davison and Louise Jameson back as Leela. And there’s more – it’s the return of the tracer twins Abby and Zara!
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…
The two stories Warzone and Conversion conclude a Fifth Doctor trilogy that introduced new companion Marc in Tartarus. Like October’s Interstitial / Feast of Fear it’s a pair of two-part stories, though in this case more tightly coupled. We also have two writers more familiar to Big Finish listeners. The cover gives away a lot…
There’s a new companion, Marc, in the TARDIS so just like old times for the Fifth Doctor, Nyssa and Tegan. It’s fair to say Adric’s ghost hovers across this trilogy but (as we shall learn) it’s no bad thing. Producer Scott Handcock also shakes things up with two writing debuts and a brace of two-part…
September 2019 gave us a David Llewellyn main range story for the Fifth Doctor, Tartarus. It’s interesting for two reasons (at least): the appearance of Samuel Barnett as Cicero, making this a Big Finish crossover; the introduction of Marc (George Watkins) as a new companion! Even with all that to look forward to I found…
Good news, there will be Doctor Who on Boxing Day this year (2019). The (perhaps) less good news – it’s every available classic episode streamed on new service BritBox as reported on The Doctor Who Companion: EVERY SURVIVING EPISODE OF CLASSIC DOCTOR WHO COMING TO BRITBOX ON BOXING DAY. Enjoy! *** Message Ends ***
