Who else might be Stranded with the eighth Doctor?

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…

Big Finish has released details for next month’s The Lovecraft Invasion and it looks like a must listen. Robert Valentine (in his third release in a few weeks!) wrote this Sixth Doctor story with companions Flip Jackson and Constance Clarke. Full details below…

The Crimes of Thomas Brewster review

A mere nine years after listening to and enjoying The Crimes of Thomas Brewster I thought it overdue a review. It’s what I call a jigsaw puzzle story – it brings together many threads from across the Big Finish Doctor Who main range and even starts one of its own. It’s also one of those…

More Flip and Constance for 2020

It’s been a while (two years) but Lisa Greenwood and Miranda Raison have been back in studio as Flip and Constance. Yes, 2020 will bring a new set of Sixth Doctor stories with this great pair of companions. Details are under wraps…

Sixth Doctor on Radio 4 Extra

BBC Radio 4 Extra is starting a run of Sixth Doctor stories starting with the Jonathan Morris story The Crimes of Thomas Brewster. The first episode is today (2 Feb 2019) at 6pm (repeated at midnight); details here. For me it’s a good story and mixes Evelyn, Brewster, DI Menzies with the first appearance of Flip! The BBC…

7 Recommendations for the Big Finish Main Range 101 – 150

So, the back-catalogue sales of the Big Finish Main Range continue with a reduction on releases 101 – 150. The news item (DOCTOR WHO MAIN RANGE OFFERS) has some very good recommendations, and I do agree with Liv Chenka’s Seventh Doctor debit Robophobia, the Sixth Doctor and Jamie trilogy starting at City of Spires, the Klein trilogy (for Klein’s Story and Architects of…

Static reviewed on Starburst

The main range may be getting long in the tooth, but still retains the ability to impress, and impress it does with the Jonathan Morris story Static. It’s a Sixth Doctor story with Flip and Constance and also stars David Graham (Parker from Thunderbirds). It’s scary, moody, thought provoking and rather brilliant — see my 10/10 review on Starburst: DOCTOR WHO:…

The Middle review

The November 2018 Big Finish main range release was The Middle, by Chris Chapman. It’s about age, and birthdays and makes some interesting points about society while never failing to entertain. At first it seems to be a riff on the classic story of Logan’s Run, but it’s something rather different of its own. Let’s chat…

The Behemoth review on Cultbox

I put together some thoughts on the main range Sixth Doctor release The Behemoth for CultBox: Doctor Who: The Behemoth review. It’s another solid Marc Platt story with Flip and Constance in a pure historical. Let me know what you think! *** Message Ends ***

Vortex Ice / Cortex Fire review on Cultbox

I penned some thoughts on the May main range release Vortex Ice / Cortex Fire over on Cultbox. It’s part of a roundup produced with Ian McArdell. This particular pair of stories has the Sixth Doctor and Flip in some really interesting situations in two stories by Jonathan Morris and Ian Potter. The review is: Big Finish Doctor…
