Great news from Big Finish with announcement of a multi-master trilogy later this year. Much requested by fans at Big Finish Day (and elsewhere) this adds a nice poignancy to the main range, and the trilogy (available April — June 2016) should be a fan favourite. I also wouldn’t put it past Big Finish to…

Jago & Litefoot & Strax – The Haunting reviewed
We’ve had the first all-new modern-Who series from Big Finish (UNIT-Extinction), now we get the first crossover from modern to old with Justin Richards’s tale Jago & Litefoot & Strax – The Haunting. This means the regular Jago & Litefoot crew (including Ellie and Inspector Quick) get to meet the well-dressed if strange-looking Mr Strax. Strax…
Book bargain from the Book People
If you fancy grabbing some recent Twelfth Doctor and Clara titles in paperback, look no further than this offer from The Book People: Doctor Who Fiction Collection – 6 Books (Collection). At £7.99 for six titles, this can’t be overlooked, even if you’ve read one or two of the titles included (presents for friends?).
Jago & Litefoot Series 10 reviewed
I’ve already reviewed Jago & Litefoot series 10 on Cultbox; this is a more extensive review that goes deeper into the stories and has a bit more in the way of spoilers. Series 9 gave our heroes a sea trip to remember and introduced the character of Dr Betterman (David Warner). What treats are in store…
The Forsaken reviewed on CultBox
I reviewed the Early Adventure: The Forsaken as part of the CultBox monthly Doctor Who round-up with Ian McArdell. A great Justin Richards Second Doctor story, this has Frazer Hines (Jamie), Anneke Wills (Polly) and Elliot Chapman (Ban Jackson). The review is: ‘Doctor Who’ audio play reviews round-up: Out in October 2015 from Big Finish. (** Message Ends **)
Maisie Williams – now we know!
Thanks to the BBC themselves, and a small bit of detective work, we know a lot more about the Maisie Williams character than we did. If you want the details, read here about how BBC Books has given it all away with the synopsis for a book to be released in December called Legends of Ashildr, which…
Time Lord Letters reviewed on Starburst
I reviewed the rather delightful Time Lord Letters over on Starburst. This is a brilliantly simple idea brought to Doctor Who fans thanks to Justin Richards. If you want to more, the review is TIME LORD LETTERS. ::: Message Ends :::
Coming soon – The Time Lord Letters
Over on Kasterborous, the ever vigilant Christian Cawley has spotted a new book by Justin Richards titled The Time Lord Letters. I’ll leave you to read Christian’s piece in full (COMING SOON: THE TIME LORD LETTERS!) but I will just say this is probably one to look out for, and has could make a great Christmas present for a…
Opening River Song’s Diary in DWM #489
Spoilers ahead! The latest issue of DWM has plenty of details about the upcoming Diary of River Song courtesy of script editor Matt Fitton. He introduces plot details, casting, episodes names and writers. Big Finish has also published a piece on this: DOCTOR WHO: MEET RIVER SONG’S HUSBAND! It all looks wonderful, and January should be a great…
Transmission from Mars! Bernice warns about Sutekh
Out today on YouTube is a frantic message from Professor Bernice Summerfield (played by Lisa Bowerman) regarding the planet Mars and Sutekh! This is, of course, a trailer for the release (tomorrow it seems) of THE NEW ADVENTURES OF BERNICE SUMMERFIELD VOLUME 02: THE TRIUMPH OF SUTEKH. This consists of four stories written by Guy Adams,…
Jago & Litefoot meet Jago & Litefoot
In a month packed with news (or so it seems) we now have details of Jago & Litefoot Series 10 – yes the tenth series for the infernal investigators. Corks! As promised in the Series 9 extras, David Warner will be joiner Messrs Baxter and Benjamin, but there’s more; much more. Back in Blighty means more…
Jago & Litefoot series 9 reviewed
I reviewed Jago & Litefoot series 9 for Kasterborous (see here) and thought I’d follow up with my more usual, in-depth take on the stories and the set as a whole. There are a couple of spoilers but I leave plenty of the plot unexplored, focussing on the greater narrative arc of the characters. This may…
