There’s a new set of boxsets coming keeping the story of UNIT going (despite the current TV series indifference to them!). Kate, Osgood and Ice Warriors! Did I mention H*rry S*ll*v*n? Full details below…

Big Finish sent through details of the latest one-week only free download, but I can’t remember what they were! I do know there’s a sale on UNIT titles. I’ll put the press release below if I can remember where I put it…
I take a sideways look at Season 7 for the DWC!
Over on the Doctor Who Companion I was able to write a piece exploring Pertwee’s first season as the Third Doctor – REVIEWED: DOCTOR WHO SEASON 7 – FAMILY UNIT. Yes, it’s Season 7: UNIT, the Brig, Liz Shaw and a whole range of adversaries. I took a thematic approach rather than episode by episode…
Ambassadors of Death review
Working my way through Season 7, (see Spearhead from Space and The Silurians) I arrive at The Ambassadors of Death a story of which I have little recollection (it was broadcast March – May 1970). Rewatching it, despite a number of flaws (many of which are also mentioned in the Radio Times review) I think…
UNIT Incursions review
The April 2019 UNIT: Incursions boxset is less heavily themed than others, and is essentially three stories over four discs. The headline is the appearance of River Song; for that we wait until the two-part final story. On the way we have some other horrors to deal with.
UNIT theme tune trivia
Apologies if this is the most trivial post you ever read (and I ever make) but I’ve spotted something a bit geeky about the Big Finish theme tune for the new series UNIT stories. It came about while listening to UNIT: Incursions (review coming) and thinking about just how to write a theme tune…
UNIT: Dissolution?
One of the talking points of the New Year special Resolution is this: has UNIT actually been disbanded?

One is Big Finish has to do something to close the gap from where they are now to this…

UNIT Cyber Reality review
Back in May (I’m catching up with my backlog!) we were treated to another epic new-series UNIT boxset: UNIT – Cyber-Reality. It promised much, but for me, while it entertained I have some niggles. I’ll explain…
Lady Christina de Souza – what happened next?
If you enjoyed Michelle Ryan as Lady Christine de Souza in Planet of the Dead, you might want to look out for the most recently announced Big Finish boxset. Coming September 2018 is Lady Christina. The Big Finish news item (LADY CHRISTINA RETURNS) is worth a read to spot a couple of new writers and an intriguing…
