I reviewed the very, very good Joe Lidster Short Trips: A Full Life on CultBox. It’s an Adric, Fourth Doctor and Romana story and Matthew Waterhouse is outstanding in it. A must listen, the review is part of my joint September reviews with Ian McArdell: Big Finish’s ‘Doctor Who’ audio stories: September 2016 reviews round-up. +++ Message Ends…
With a now familiar, and relentless, pursuit of perfection, Big Finish has released another superb Torchwood release in the form of Broken. Stand up Joe Lidster and take a well-deserved bow for this tale of Ianto Jones and his early relationship with Jack Harkness.

Another surprise from Big Finish announced today; the fourth story of the new Torchwood range stars Tracy-Ann Overman returning as Yvonne Hartman (so crossing over from Doctor Who). The cast also includes Dan Starkey and Catrin Stewart (two-thirds of the Paternoster Gang, in case anyone thought they might never cross to audio…).
Following the publication of The Cybermen Monster File Ebook the BBC has put up an interview with writer Joe Lidster. It is worth a quick read - it isn’t very long and gives his cyber-preferences (if there is such a thing). -o- Message Ends -o-
Just in case, like me, you weren’t aware but there is a new ebook available on the BBC website all about the Cybermen. Details on the BBC website under New Adventure with the Cybermen. The ebook is available now and free in the UK until the end of July (which is not long).
