Missy returns for a second Big Finish box set. Despite some missteps, I enjoyed the first set a lot, so I was really looking forward to Series Two, which brings back a few concepts from the first set, and introduces…

Big Finish’s War Master range is surely one of its most exciting “gets”: one of Britain’s greatest actors, apparently happy to come in and ham it up in front of a mic every few months for Big Finish. In an…

Like many Big Finish series concepts, The First Doctor Adventures is never so great that I feel enthusiastic about picking up the next volume, never so terrible that I swear off picking up another one. Part of the problem is…

Peter Purves reads Una McCormack’s tale of the First Doctor and Steven, Peace in Our Time. The Doctor and Steven must prevent alien intervention in British military history prior to the Great War. A lot of the story is told…

Jaine Fenn’s Hall of the Ten Thousand brings back my favourite, and my first, audio Doctor/companion team, with India Fisher narrating a story of the Eighth Doctor and Charley. While this team is usually solid, and Fisher does her usual…

The Astrea Conspiracy by Lizbeth Myles is a Short Trip featuring the Twelfth Doctor, narrated by Neve McIntosh — who plays Madame Vastra, though she has nothing to do with this story. The story is told from the perspective of…

Big Finish’s Doctor Who “main range” — its collection of two-disc stories going back to 1999 — is finally coming to an end. It’s a weird thought. The whole way I got into Big Finish was typing “doctorwho.co.uk” on a…

Despite the fact that Donna Noble is, in my estimation, one of the best companions from the Doctor Who revival, I admit to a certain amount of scepticism at Big Finish’s announcement of Donna Noble: Kidnapped!. Yes, I love Donna,…

2019 and 2020 have seen the release of two more volumes of The Lives of Captain Jack, jumping back across the life of everyone’s favourite rogue Time Agent. The six stories in these two sets have Jack meeting the Sixth…

Here, on the eve of Stranded, I’m finally getting around to reviewing the finale of Big Finish’s previous Eighth Doctor epic, Ravenous. I feel like Ravenous 4 is an admission that the Ravenous never really worked. We have four discs…

One of my favourite eras of Doctor Who is Seasons 25 and 26. One of my favourite aspects of those seasons is how the writers were always careful to give Ace a “friend” character, usually another young woman. And one…
