In the latest DWM (and confirmed on the Big Finish site) we learn all about the fifth River Song boxset. No, River isn’t meeting more incarnations of the Doctor, instead it’s four stories and four incarnations of… The Master! And that’s only half the story: the Master will be played by Geoffrey Beevers, Derek Jacobi, Michelle Gomez…

The Diary of River Song Volume 3 review
By any measure, The Diary of River Song Volume 3 is rather good indeed. It adds some new writers into the new-series mix, it gives River a proper nemesis in the form of Madame Kovarian, it continues her encounters with past incarnations of the Doctor, in this case Peter Davison’s Fifth Doctor, has good stories, great casting…
Doom Coalition 4 review
After four boxsets giving us sixteen hours of innovative adventure for the Eighth Doctor with adversaries new and old, Doom Coalition has come to an end. Even knowing the direction of travel of the likely ending (the universe and the Doctor both must survive to be challenged in many more adventures to come), this set still comes with…
Diary of River Song Series 2 review
The Diary of River Song Series 2 sneaked into the December 2016 release schedule to add to our Christmas fun, and what a pleasure it was. Better in many ways than Series 1, this time River meets two classic era Doctors, the sixth and the seventh. This means more confusion, memory manipulation and adventure! Next stop,…
Doom Coalition 3 review on Cultbox
I reviewed the John Dorney / Matt Fitton Doom Coalition 3 over on CultBox. As strong as ever though maybe just maybe holding out a little for the finale in the next boxset. The stories tell of the Eighth Doctor, companions Liv Chenka and Helen Sinclair and new chum River Song; my thoughts: ‘Doom Coalition 3’ review:…
Legends of River Song review on Starburst
I reviewed the book of short stories The Legends of River Song for Starburst. I’m a big fan of the short story format, and this set of five stories is one I would recommend. It fills out some details of River’s personality without making any dramatic decisions. All five stories have their strengths and the set works…
The legacy of Susan Foreman
The latest newsletter from Tiny Rebel Games is packed full of Doctor Who Legacy goodness. Most pleasing is the news of Susan Foreman coming soon (see artwork), and also news of Grace Holloway and Gwen Cooper! No word on exactly when, colours or powers.
Doom Coalition 2 review on Cultbox
Over on Cultbox you can read my review of Doom Coalition 2, the latest Eighth Doctor boxset with Liv Chenka, Helen Sinclair and even River Song. Maybe not as exceptional as Doom Coalition 1, there are many moments to savour and some strong concepts at play. The review is: ‘Doctor Who’ audio review: The 8th Doctor returns in ‘Doom Coalition…

Legacy – Director’s Cut of Husbands of River Song reviewed
One day later than planned we now have another premium pack for Doctor Who Legacy and my immediate reaction is one of being underwhelmed. There are some positives and I am probably not target audience (I want more Big Finish companions, classic companions and classic content). Nevertheless it seems to me Tiny Rebel Games are yet again having…
Director’s cut of Husbands of River Song
Doctor Who Legacy are getting ready to release a new set of content The Husbands of River Song: Director’s Cut. It will be out on February 15th and will be paid content. On launch it will be $2.99 moving to $3.99 (no idea on UK equivalent prices). I’ve moaned elsewhere about the harsh commercial reality driving Tiny Rebel…
