Killing Time with the War Master!
You can’t keep a bad man down! Sir Derek Jacobi returns as the War Master in a brand-new full-cast audio drama box set from Big Finish Productions due for release August 2021. This time, the Master comes up against two of the Doctor’s friends… It’s Jo Jones (Katy Manning) and Nyssa of Traken (Sarah Sutton) and it’s not…
Lost in Space with Nyssa!
Big Finish has released the July Short Trips story Downward Spiral. It’s read by Sarah Sutton, so no surprise to find the Fifth Doctor and Nyssa in this claustrophobic Alan Flanagan story. It’s worth reading the press release (below).
New main range titles details
Despite the announcement of the end of the main range, Big Finish still has a good few titles to release;-) There’s been some shuffling due to lockdown, but all has settled. Details after the break.

Interstitial / Feast of Fear review
There’s a new companion, Marc, in the TARDIS so just like old times for the Fifth Doctor, Nyssa and Tegan. It’s fair to say Adric’s ghost hovers across this trilogy but (as we shall learn) it’s no bad thing. Producer Scott Handcock also shakes things up with two writing debuts and a brace of two-part…
Tartarus review
September 2019 gave us a David Llewellyn main range story for the Fifth Doctor, Tartarus. It’s interesting for two reasons (at least): the appearance of Samuel Barnett as Cicero, making this a Big Finish crossover; the introduction of Marc (George Watkins) as a new companion! Even with all that to look forward to I found…
Doctor Who Short Trips: The Second Oldest Question review
Like September before it, October 2019 brought another new writer to the Big Finish fold via the Short Trips range. Carrie Thompson wrote The Second Oldest Question, which Sarah Sutton narrates. As you’d expect it’s a Fifth Doctor and Nyssa story.
Return to the Web Planet review
Back in the distant days of 2008, when the Big Finish main range still came with a free single-disc adventure for subscribers, the fifth [but labelled vi] such gift was Return to the Web Planet. It’s a Fifth Doctor story with Nysaa, written by Daniel o’Mahony (who also wrote some early Bernice Summerfield) and as…
The Mistpuddle Murders review
The November 2018 Short Trips is Simon A Forward’s The Mistpuddle Murders. It’s a curious and entertaining tale, read by Sarah Sutton, and including the Fifth Doctor and Tegan. It’s very much in the style of a classic English detective story, think Agatha Christie and the like with Nyssa leading the denouement over afternoon tea. So far,…
Jovanka Airlines Season 19 trailer
If you haven’t seen it, or don’t tend to look at YouTube, you might want to make an exception for Janet Fielding as she gives the Jovanka Airlines in-flight safety announcement for the new BluRay boxset of Season 19: The Season 19 Safety Video with Tegan Jovanka | Doctor Who. +++ Message Ends +++
