Bernice Summerfield

I end my recent spree of catching up with Bernice Summerfield stories with Many Happy Returns. People who pay attention to what it is that I blog about will note this is massively out of sequence for someone who just…

Beyond the Sea launches not just the ninth (whoa, really?) season of the audio adventures of Bernice Summerfield, it also sees a new direction take hold under new producer Eddie Robson (writer of The Empire State and Freedom of Information,…

The Wake is not just the finale to the seventh season of Bernice Summerfield at Big Finish, it also caps off the past two years of the series, pulling together a story arc that’s been bubbling under since Professor Bernice…

When last we heard from Professor Bernice Summerfield, she was pissed off at Jason Kane, off an adventure while he tried to work out what was up with their lives. Joseph Lidster’s The Final Amendment runs in parallel to The…

Bernice Summerfield is away. Hence, we end up with the one and only instalment in the Jason Kane series, The End of the World by Dave Stone. Complete with a rocking theme by Matthew Cochrane and David Darlington, The End…

One of the many things to like about the current run (“current” as in where I am at, not where the actual line is at) of Bernice Summerfield stories is the development of a stable of consistent writers. Rather than…

The Tub Full of Cats may have began the eighth season of Bernice Summerfield, but Nick Wallace’s The Judas Gift kicks it into high gear. The Draconians have come to the Braxiatel Collection — not to occupy it, oh no…

If you can count on Daniel O’Mahony for anything, it’s crazy sci-fi ideas wedded to strong character insight. His previous Bernice Summerfield audio drama, Timeless Passages, was one of the best, and I don’t think I’ve ever read a piece…

The past couple Bernice Summerfield stories have seen Benny on a vaguely-explained mission to get “help” for the Braxiatel Collection, as war is imminent and the Collection is continuing to malfunction. Summer of Love ended with Bev sending Benny and…

At the end of Summer of Love, Benny and Jason are sent on a mission — consult the Oracle of Delphi. You know, in Ancient Greece. Quite why wasn’t very clear to me, beyond a general sense of the dire…

Over on my book review blog, I’m always singing the praises of the Bernice Summerfield anthologies, which weave their way in and out of the ongoing audio series. The anthologies and the audios serve to reinforce one another, the prose…

“We could all do with a fun break that doesn’t necessarily have to relate to anything else like Bev now being in charge of the Braxiatel Collection and it not quite working out.” The next adventure of Bernice Summerfield and…

Though he’s contributed to the short stories before, Timeless Passages marks Daniel O’Mahony’s first contribution to the Bernice Summerfield audio range. But what a contribution it is. As part of Bev Tarrant’s continuing mission to convince the galaxy that things…

The seventh season of Bernice Summerfield marks some changes — the series title, for one, has lost its “Professor”. And then the Indiana Jones­­-style title construction has gone: this is The Tartarus Gate, not Bernice Summerfield and the Tartarus Gate….

“This isn’t just another story — Professor Bernice Summerfield in an exciting adventure with the Cybermen!” The sixth season of Professor Bernice Summerfield comes to an end with Professor Bernice Summerfield and the Crystal of Cantus. The previous story, The…
