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…

Torchwood One – Latter Days review
What might (if they stick to the timeline) be the final Torchwood One release, Latter Days is a well-conceived piece of drama. There’s a simple idea running through – retirement and later life. It’s also a great set of stories for exploring Ianto and Yvonne Hartman.
The Eighth Doctor is Stranded in 2020 with Sgt Andy!

Doctor Who: Time War 3 review
The Eighth Doctor continues to skirt the edges of the Time War in Doctor Who: Time War 3 and it’s no easy task. The latest instalment brings four more stories from Matt Fitton, Lisa McMullin, Roland Moore and John Dorney. We’ve Daleks, Time Lord trickery and, as the cover reveals, the Valeyard! It’s a mix…
Legacy of Time: Relative Time review
If the third story in the Legacy of Time boxset was a little light on plot, the fourth story, Relative Time is from some angles wafer thin. This story brings the Fifth Doctor into play and the relative angle is (guess!) his daughter in many sense of the word Jenny. It’s another crossover but also…
Monsters of Gokroth review
With neither fuss nor fanfare, the Big Finish main range clocks up 250 releases with the Matt Fitton story Monsters of Gokroth. It’s a Seventh Doctor story and the first in a new trilogy for the Doctor and werewolf companion Mags, last seen on TV in The Greatest Show in the Galaxy. If not the…
Gallifrey Time War Volume 2 review
Things ended badly for Romana at the end of Gallifrey Time War Volume 1 and she struggles to turn things around throughout this new Volume 2. Spoiler alert: Rasillon is back and now in charge. This can only mean the Time War is about to get very serious indeed…

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…
Jenny announced for the Legacy of Time
Over on twitter, Georgia Tennant has revealed she will star alongside her father Peter Davison in the Fifth Doctor story for The Legacy of Time. The news piece is: FIFTH DOCTOR MEETS DAUGHTER JENNY.
Diary of River Song 4 review
As River Song makes her way back through the Doctor’s incarnations, it’s time to for Alex Kingston to meet Tom Baker in The Diary of River Song Series 04. Four stories connected by a central idea, with the Doctor not arriving until the fourth (appropriately as it’s the Fourth Doctor). It’s a fun set, let’s find out…
