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).

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.
Science of the Time Lords
If you can get to Leicester anytime over the weekend of 26-27 January 2019, why not pop along to the National Space Centre? Not only is it an interesting place in its own right, but (for the fifth year in a row I think) it wil be hosting a Doctor Who packed event Science of the Time…
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.

A Heart on Both Sides review

The Toy reviewed
Originally meant as a Monthly Short Trips, this Fifth Doctor Nigel Fairs story The Toy was, in fact, given away as the free gift with the third subscription package of Doctor Who: The Complete History. Big Finish has included a ‘this is Big Finish’ advert / documentary as the extras, but in essence this is a standard half-hour story…
Short Trips King of the Dead reviewed
May 2015 brought us the Monthly Short Trips story King of the Dead. Narrated by Sarah Sutton, this half hour piece is the first release to have been written by Producers’ Assistant Ian Atkins. It is a Fifth Doctor story with Nyssa and Tegan as companions. So far these short tales have been interesting and worth the small…
