I enjoyed the David K Barnes Early Adventures 6.2: Daughter of the Gods a lot. On paper a possibly mad multi-Doctor story with the First Doctor, Second Doctor, Steven, Jamie and Zoe. And Daleks. And Katarina! My review is on CultBox: Daughter of the Gods – Doctor Who Early Adventures 6.2 review. It’s very different…

Early Adventures 6.1 Home Guard review on CultBox
I reviewed Simon Guerrier’s Home Guard for CultBox: The Home Guard – Doctor Who Early Adventures 6.1 audio review. It’s a quirky but good Second Doctor tale with Ben, Polly and Jamie along with the Dreyfus Master. There are suggestions this might be Elliot’s last time playing Ben – let’s hope not. *** Message Ends…
The DWC bids a fond farewell to Troughton in the Season 6 review
With a sense of relentless inevitability the DWC reaches Season 6 in its exploration of the entirety of Doctor Who’s television output. You can read James Baldock’s excellent piece here: REVIEWED: DOCTOR WHO SEASON 6 – ALL THE STRANGE, STRANGE CREATURES. Yes, everything from The Dominators to The War Games and all ports in-between.
The DWC looks at seasons 3, 4 and 5!
The Doctor Who Companion is gathering pace with its voyage through the show’s television history. They’ve looked at Season 3, said farewell to Hartnell’s First Doctor, welcomed Troughton’s Second Doctor, met many a companion, said farewell to many more and introduced many alien races along the way. Seen in such breadth and at such pace,…
Year of the Drex Olympics review on CultBox
It’s got a tongue-in-cheek title and the April 2019 Doctor Who Short Trips release, The Year of the Drex Olympics is definitely one of the more amusing releases in this range. A Second Doctor story, read by Frazer Hines, and featuring Jamie and Victoria, it’s worth a listen and I put some thoughts together for…
The Moonbase review
The Discontinuity Guide may not have liked The Moonbase, and it certainly drags in places (and what happened that took four episodes) but for me it’s important. Why? Well it’s the first story I can clearly remember watching on transmission. I like to think I must have watched the rest of this season (and earlier Hartnell stories),…
The Last Day at Work review
First congratulations to writer Harry Draper for winning the 2018 Paul Spragg Memorial Opportunity with his Second Doctor and Jamie story The Last Day at Work. It’s a great little story and if you haven’t heard it, stop what you’re doing and download now. Did I mention it’s free? What makes this story good? Let’s chat…
That Macra Terror animation
After what seems like weeks of small leaks, we finally have details on the release of the animated Doctor Who: The Macra Terror. The Cultbox piece is pretty comprehensive, and saves me writing my own: Doctor Who lost episode The Macra Terror: animation coming soon. Key fact is it can be ordered from early January 2019, so…
Second Doctor Companion Chronicles Volume 2 trailer
This week’s Big Finish podcast (2018-05-13 HATTIE MORAHAN AND CICERO) includes a trailer for June’s Second Doctor Companion Chronicles Volume 2. It starts at 6 minutes in, and runs for slightly over two minutes. It’s fabulous to hear Ben, Polly, Jamie, the Doctor, Leela and Ruth Matheson and I can’t wait for next month. I may…
Two classics for Record Store Day 2018
This year’s Record Store Day 2018 (21 April), is once again a chance to grab some classic Doctor Who in the form of both City of Death and Tomb of the Cybermen.
Wreck of the World review
I thoroughly enjoyed the Timothy X Atack Early Adventures: The Wreck of the World as you can tell from my CultBox review: Doctor Who: Wreck of the World review. It’s a Second Doctor story with Jamie and Zoe with a great set of supporting characters in a memorable setting. +++ Message Ends +++
The Morton Legacy review
I reviewed the Early Adventures story The Morton Legacy for Starburst. It’s a rock-solid Second Doctor story by Justin Richards with Jamie, Polly and Ben as the TARDIS crew. The review is: THE MORTON LEGACY. +++ Message Ends +++
