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!
Early Adventures 6.1 Home Guard review on CultBox
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…

Bernice Summerfield The Story So Far Volume 1 review
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…
Eleventh Doctor Chronicles review
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…
The Outliers review on Cultbox
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.…
Whoniversal Records review
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.

Classic Doctors, New Monsters volume 2 review
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…
Time Dilation 101
Thanks to Simon Guerrier and Dr Marek Kukula, we have a view on the time dilation as presented in World Enough and Time. Bottom line is yes, it’s not ridiculous (though the material stresses aren’t discussed), but Simon also mentions some other aspects of the situation worth reading. It’s a post on the Radio Times site: The mind-blowing real…
Capitol guests announced
One of the major UK Doctor Who conventions returns in 2017 – it’s The Capitol, the DWAS convention, and this year it’s run with Big Finish! This means the guest list has plenty of interesting names, including Nick Briggs, Andrew Smith, Kai Owen and many more (Katy Manning, Peter Purves, Sarah Sutton, Matthew Waterhouse, Daphne Ashbrook included). No details…
Graceless 4 review on CultBox
I took a listen to Simon Guerrier’s Graceless 4 – my thoughts are on CultBox: ‘Doctor Who’ spin-off review: ‘Graceless’ returns for an engaging fourth box set. Well done to Simon, producer Mark Wright, director Lisa Bowerman and all the cast! *** Message Ends ***
