With Stranded, Big Finish takes the Eighth Doctor, Liv and Helen to a Covid-free version of London 2020. There they must survive without TARDIS and most of the Doctor’s trickery (no sonic nor psychic paper). Instead they might even have to get jobs! It’s all very different and for me, overdue. I’m reviewing these one…

More thoughts on Doctor Who: Stranded
I like the idea of Doctor Who: Stranded as I mentioned when the news broke, and after further thought I can explain why. It’s a combination of interesting ideas and some challenges. I go into more detail below…
The Eighth Doctor is Stranded in 2020 with Sgt Andy!
After the trials and tribulations of Ravenous, it’s a change of pace for the Eighth Doctor, Liv and Helen as they find themselves stranded in 2020 London without the TARDIS! Coming July 2020 is the first in a set of four boxsets in the new Doctor Who: Stranded range. To add to the mix we…
Robots Volume One review on CultBox
I think Robots Volume One is one of the Big Finish releases of the year, and said as much in my CultBox review: The Robots Volume One audio drama review. Many years ago when Liv Chenka first came to out ears with the Seventh Doctor I felt she’d make a great companion; with Robots Nicola…
Ravenous 4 review
The latest Eighth Doctor / Liv Chenka / Helen Sinclair sixteen-disc epic comes to a conclusion in Ravenous 4. I’ve had mixed views on this series; in my mind it’s really a second set with the Eleven and the Ravenous have taken a while to come to life. This set also has more Masters than…
More Robots news from Big Finish
When I first heard about the Robots boxsets I have to say I was thrilled. I’ve always admired Liv Chenka (as played by Nicola Walker) from her first appearance, and that has grown with her Eighth Doctor adventures. Big Finish has now announced more details of the three boxsets, making December’s first release something I’m…
Ravenous 3 review on CultBox
My take on Ravenous 3, the Eighth Doctor, Liv and Helen (plus Eleven…) boxset is available on CultBox: Doctor Who: Ravenous Volume 3 review. Another good set, if dominated by the Eleven rather than the Ravenous. <<< Message Ends >>>
The Robots is coming
With too little fanfare for my tastes, Big Finish has announced a new spin-off: The Robots with Nicola Walker as Liv Chenka. It’s Doctor free (as far as I can tell) and will be released from December 2019 as twelve stories over four three-disc sets, released every six months. This means it will run until…
Ravenous 2 review
The latest set of stories in the Eighth Doctor Ravenous range takes the Doctor, Liv Chenka and Helen Sinclair to yet stranger places than before in a mix of tales I mostly liked but I have some reservations with Ravenous 2 as a set. Let me explain…
More details on Ravenous 3
Big Finish has given more details for Ravenous 3, beyond those revealed at Big Finish Day. The second story (Companion Piece by John Dorney) has no Eighth Doctor, but has Charley, Bliss, River Song, Liv Chenka and Helen Sinclair all in one episode. Add The Nine and this will be a feast for the ears! The news…
