My review of Jonathan Morris’s entirely excellent Doctor Who Early Adventures: The Crash of the UK-201 is now live on CultBox. It’s an impressive piece of writing as you’ll see from my review: Doctor Who Early Adventures: The Crash Of The UK-201. <<= Message Ends =>>

Doctor Who: The Rescue review
Often summarised as a short story in two episodes to introduce a new companion (I paraphrase), I think there’s a bit more to The Rescue than the simple description does justice. Yes it’s about the first (ever) companion change from Susan to Vicki, and yes there’s not much story, but it still has its moments. I’ve chosen it for…

Thanks to the Doctor Who Companion, we have details of the Black Archive range from Obverse Books stretching into 2020. Full details here: 2019/2020 SCHEDULE ANNOUNCED FOR OBVERSE BOOKS’ THE BLACK ARCHIVE. I’d just like to highlight a couple of these…
At last! The Paternoster Gang comes to Big Finish!
It won’t be a surprise as such (we’ve seen all the players converging on this), but Big Finish has announced a four boxset run for the Paternoster Gang! Why it wasn’t announced at Big Finish Day, who knows! Catrin Stewart, Neve McIntosh and Dan Starkey are all back for Paternoster Gang – Heritage. Each boxset…
Kamelion comes to Big Finish
The Fifth Doctor‘s shape-shifting android is coming to Big Finish, voiced by Jon Culshaw. Kamelion will appear alongside Tegan and Turlough (somewhat overdue) in three main stories starting January 2019. Details: KAMELION RETURNS TO DOCTOR WHO, it’s also a return for Cavan Scott who wrote January’s Devil in the Mist. There’s a double-two-parter by Jamie Anderson and Eddie Robson,…
Missy comes to Big Finish
In news bound to prove popular, Big Finish has revealed Michelle Gomez will return to the part of Missy for a boxset due February 2019. We don’t have all the details of stories but we do know she will be meeting the Meddling Monk as played (with relish) by Rufus Hound. The set is available…
Big Finish announces The Legacy of Time
Big Finish has announced it will celebrate 20 years of Doctor Who releases with a major boxset The Legacy of Time to be released in July 2019, the anniversary of the first release, The Sirens of Time. It’s a huge multi-range, multi-Doctor, multi-character crossover epic six story spectacular. Do check the Big Finish website for full details, let’s just…
The Time War Series 2 review
Paul McGann is back as the Eighth Doctor and with companion Bliss (Rakhee Thakrar) has plenty of Daleks to fight as he does his best to avoid as much of the Time War as he can. The writers have their own ideas… welcome to The Time War Series 2!
Torchwood: Instant Karma review
Torchwood: Instant Karma is a fascinating story for Toshiko Sato and written by the triumvirate of David Llewelyn, James Goss and Jonathan Morris. If you want to know why I think that, check my CultBox review: Torchwood: Instant Karma review. +++ Message Ends +++
River vs The Master(s)
In the latest DWM (and confirmed on the Big Finish site) we learn all about the fifth River Song boxset. No, River isn’t meeting more incarnations of the Doctor, instead it’s four stories and four incarnations of… The Master! And that’s only half the story: the Master will be played by Geoffrey Beevers, Derek Jacobi, Michelle Gomez…
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:…
Listen to The Company of Friends
Every month, Big Finish reduces a title substantially, and this month it’s the superb 2009 main range title Company of Friends. Reduced to £2.99 (UK price) it’s a bargain and highly recommended. It consists of four Eighth Doctor stories, each with a different companion. Each is interesting, and (in my humble &c &c) one is a must have purchase,…
