Doctor Who Short Trips: Out of the Deep review

I wrote a short review of John Pritchard’s Out of the Deep for Cultbox. It’s a Doctor Who Short Trips story for the First Doctor read by Peter Purves. I felt the story would work better with more time and a larger cast. See my thoughts here: Doctor Who: Short Trips Out of the Deep…

Doctor Who Short Trips: Peace in Our Time review

December 2019’s Doctor Who Short Trips: Peace in Our Time is an intriguing story from Una McCormack, performed by Peter Purves. As you’d imagine it’s a First Doctor and Steven Taylor tale, and for a change [sic!] we’re in London…

Early Adventure 6.2: Daughter of the Gods review on CultBox

I enjoyed the David K Barnes Early Adventures 6.2: Daughter of the Gods a lot. On paper a possibly mad multi-Doctor story with the First Doctor, Second Doctor, Steven, Jamie and Zoe. And Daleks. And Katarina! My review is on CultBox: Daughter of the Gods – Doctor Who Early Adventures 6.2 review. It’s very different…

The Crash of the UK-201 review on CultBox

My review of Jonathan Morris’s entirely excellent Doctor Who Early Adventures: The Crash of the UK-201 is now live on CultBox. It’s an impressive piece of writing as you’ll see from my review: Doctor Who Early Adventures: The Crash Of The UK-201. <<= Message Ends =>>

Entanglement review on CultBox

I was probably a bit critical of November’s Early Adventures by Robert Khan and Tom Salinsky, but it was set in my alma mater, though a few decades before my time! That aside, Entanglement is a fun if something of parody, and well worth a listen. My review is on CultBox: Big Finish – Doctor Who: Entanglement review….

Doctor Who An Ideal World review on Cultbox

My review of the October 2018 Early Adventures story An Ideal World by Ian Potter is now online, thanks to CultBox: Doctor Who: Ideal World review. It’s a First Doctor with Vicki and Steven story, well performed but not (for me) as strong as last month’s Dalek Invasion of Winter. ooo Message Ends ooo

The Dalek Occupation of Winter review on CultBox

The latest round of Early Adventures kicks off with the extremely recommended The Dalek Invasion of Winter by David K Barnes. It’s one of the most impressive debuts (to Big Finish) I can recall for a long time, and a great example of how writing, directing (Lisa Bowerman in fine form as ever) and performance (Peter Purves…

It’s nearly Christmas, and Short Trips  producer / script editor Ian Atkins makes sure we get a festive treat in the form of O Tannenbaum a First Doctor and Steven story by Anthony Keetch, read by Peter Purves.
