Big Finish has revealed a new range of audiobook novels, each six hours long and there will be five of them! The first is Scourge of the Cybermen, a Third Doctor and Sarah Jane Smith story by Simon Guerrier. Details below…
I mostly enjoyed Doctor Who: Wicked Sisters by Simon Guerrier, and found it a welcome change of pace compared to some other titles. It’s not perfect and while the idea of the Fifth Doctor and Leela wishing to put the tracer twins aka Graceless sisters Abby and Zara out of commission has its merits, I’d…
To mark the release of Wicked Sisters, Big Finish has a great sale on everything Graceless. It’s one of the stronger ideas Big Finish ever came up with and spun out of the Key2Time main range trilogy many years ago (ten!) I can recommend all of the titles, and they’ve been covered here extensively. +++…
Great news of a new Fifth Doctor boxset with Peter Davison and Louise Jameson back as Leela. And there’s more – it’s the return of the tracer twins Abby and Zara!
I reviewed Simon Guerrier’s Home Guard for CultBox: The Home Guard – Doctor Who Early Adventures 6.1 audio review. It’s a quirky but good Second Doctor tale with Ben, Polly and Jamie along with the Dreyfus Master. There are suggestions this might be Elliot’s last time playing Ben – let’s hope not. *** Message Ends…
If you’re around Oxford on November 22, 2018 (I hope to be), you have the chance to hear Simon Guerrier talk to the Oxford Doctor Who Society at 8pm. I assume he’ll talk books, Big Finish and much else. Details on the society website: Michaelmas Term 2018. You may have to scroll down! +++ Message Ends…
I had a listen to the first of the anniversary Benny releases, BERNICE SUMMERFIELD: THE STORY SO FAR VOLUME 01, and put a review together for CultBox: Bernice Summerfield: The Story So Far Volume 1 review. Three fun stories for Benny from James Goss, Jaq Rayner and Simon Guerrier – what’s not to like! *** Message Ends…
The Eleventh Doctor Chronicles gives Jacob Dudman the chance to perform as the Eleventh Doctor in four hour-long audio dramas. They are in the Companion Chronicles format, meaning (generally) narrative and a second actor to flesh out the story. Under the watchful ear of director Helen Goldwyn, Jacob does (another) great job in recreating a modern incarnation of the…
My review of the Early Adventures Doctor Who story The Outliers is up on Cultbox: Doctor Who Early Adventures: The Outliers review. I’m a big fan of this crew and period, and Simon Guerrier always brings something interesting to the table. I have to note how well embedded Elliot Chapman’s Ben Jackson is in our consciousness.…
I had a look at Simon Guerrier’s Book of Whoniversal Records over on Starburst. It’s a top tip (if you want one) for a Christmas stocking filler. I found it great to dip into. The review is: THE BOOK OF WHONIVERSAL RECORDS.
The latest podcast has revealed the incoming arrival of more Short Trips Rarities! Following on from last years tranche, five more titles are due to be released for download only.
I enjoyed the four stories in Classic Doctors, New Monsters Volume 2, and put my thoughts in a review for CultBox: Doctor Who: Classic Doctors, New Monsters Volume 2 review. If you don’t already know, the four stories give both the Fourth Doctor and Eighth Doctor against the Vashta Nerada (two separate stories, not one, by John Dorney and Matt…
