Planet of the Drashigs review
Phil Pulryne takes the writer’s chair for the second story in the new Fourth Doctor Syndicate Master Plan season with new companion Ann Kelso. The title Planet of the Drashigs gives away some of the story: it’s a surprise return for a monster encountered by the Third Doctor in the 1973 story Carnival of Monsters. Following the events of The Sinestran…
The Haunting of Malkin Place review
Phil Mulryne has written an excellent Fourth Doctor Adventure released today, titled The Haunting of Malkin Place.

The Contingency Club reviewed
Sometimes you get to the end of a story and think so what? Sometimes you don’t know what you think, not why you think it. In the case of Phil Mulryne’s Fifth Doctor main range story The Contingency Club there are no such problems. It’s a charming, well-told story with much to recommend.

If the first volume was Nick Briggs re-capturing some flavours of Dalek Empire from the point of view of a set of intriguing characters, this volume is a study in themes, almost an audio essay, by John…
The Churchill Years Volume 1 reviewed
An interesting beast, this collection of stories returns Ian McNeice to the role of Winston Churchill and covers all the newly licensed incarnations of the Doctor (ie ninth – eleventh). It has no TV companions, instead relying on a range of other characters to act as ersatz companions. For me this was an interesting set…

The Coming of the War Doctor
Massive, seismic and rule-changing aren’t enough to describe the news of four three-disc boxsets for John Hurt as the War Doctor. That was a teaser and a half!
