It’s a return to Skaro for the First Doctor, in March 2020. Big Finish has released details of The First Doctor Adventures Volume 4, with the return to Skaro and a new historical story. Details below.
The Companion Chronicles: First Doctor Volume 3 is an overdue return for the range and four great stories. All companion groupings are represented with Susan, Vicki, Steven, Ben and Polly. I found all the stories to be worth a listen and thought provoking. I put some thoughts together on CultBox: Doctor Who – The Companion…
If you’ve now watched the remake of Mission to the Unknown on YouTube, you might also want to watch The Making of Mission to the Unknown. It’s also on YouTube and nice to see the BBC get behind this so well. ((( Message Ends )))
Several sources (including Cultbox) are running with the excellent news of a YouTube release for the fan-made Mission To The Unknown.

Over on The Doctor Who Companion, something exciting has started, with REVIEWED: DOCTOR WHO SEASON 1 – A MILD CURIOSITY. Yes, it’s a look at the whole of the first ever season of Doctor Who as a set.
The First Doctor Adventures Volume 3 brought a superb historical from Marc Platt and a quirky story from Guy Adams, the latter with Carole Ann Ford sharing a story with the new-cast First Doctor team. I loved it and said as much on CultBox: The First Doctor Adventures Volume 03 review. ::: Message Ends :::
Over on The Doctor Who Companion they’ve been covering all things Dalek Masterplan as the theme for the week.
