Doctor Who: An Earthly Child review

January 18 2010

30 years after the Dalek invasion of Earth, things are looking grim. Colonists on the Moon are stranded after the Earth’s last functioning rocket is destroyed by a xenophobic terrorist group, and an underfunded and understaffed education system is teaching…

Iris Wildthyme and the Panda Invasion review

January 9 2010

Panda’s birthday wish is to visit San Francisco on New Year’s Eve 1999. All well and good… at least until his nagging causes the flustered Iris Wildthyme to spill her G&T into the time vortex at the heart of the…

Iris Wildthyme and the Land of Wonder review

December 20 2009

Who do you call when a White Rabbit and a Mock Turtle are discovered in an amazing Victorian vehicle underneath a London railway station? Why, you call Iris Wildthyme, of course! Paul Magrs, Iris’s creator, returns to Big Finish to…

Iris Wildthyme and the Claws of Santa review

December 7 2009

There’s no doubt about it – listening to an Iris Wildthyme adventure is cheaper than getting stinking drunk on spiked eggnog, and the hangover afterwards isn’t nearly as bad. If you’re the sort of person who insists on a carefully…

Iris Wildthyme: The Two Irises review

December 7 2009

Never one to keep her public in the dark, Iris Wildthyme is holding a press conference to announce her upcoming regeneration. Sure enough, after yet another life-threatening scrape, there is only enough bat’s milk cheesecake to save Panda from succumbing…

Doctor Who: Plague of the Daleks review

November 30 2009

In Plague of the Daleks, the Fifth Doctor and Nyssa once again find themselves washed up in Stockbridge, but this time, it’s Stockbridge of the far future. Oh, things seem normal enough on the surface, but why are flocks of…

Doctor Who: The Eternal Summer review

November 15 2009

The Eternal Summer has all of the elements you would expect from a Jonathan Morris script. Quirky humour? Check. Interesting characters? Check. Timey-wimey-ness? Double-check. After the catastrophic cliffhanger at the end of Castle of Fear, the Doctor and Nyssa inexplicably wash…

Doctor Who: Ringpullworld review

October 23 2009

Who else but Paul Magrs could come up with the idea of a universe contained within a cylinder the size of a tin can, which can be released from the inside by opening something that looks like a ring pull?…

Doctor Who: Castle of Fear review

October 9 2009

It’s possible that in comparison to the sustained comic madness of The Kingmaker, no Fifth Doctor audio will ever seem funny again. That’s bad news for Big Finish’s October Doctor Who release, Castle of Fear. True, it’s got several things…

Doctor Who: The Drowned World review

September 20 2009

In The Drowned World, author Simon Guerrier continues the story started in his previous Sara Kingdom Companion Chronicle, Home Truths. Sara is dead, but her ghost lives on in an old house – an echo of her mind from long…

Doctor Who: Blue Forgotten Planet review

September 16 2009

After a nine-year run, it’s finally time to bid farewell to Charley Pollard, Edwardian adventuress. Blue Forgotten Planet caps the trilogy of stories ending Charley’s time with the Sixth Doctor, and also acts as the climax of the Viyran arc,…

Doctor Who: Paper Cuts review

September 14 2009

In the upcoming Sixth Doctor monthly release Paper Cuts, Marc Platt puts right a woeful oversight by resurrecting the Draconians, an unforgivably underused alien race in Doctor Who spinoff media. The middle story in the trilogy marking long-time companion Charley…

Doctor Who: Patient Zero review

August 12 2009

At long last, the wait for Charley Pollard’s arc with the Sixth Doctor to be resolved is over… or is it? Nick Briggs scores a trifecta with the first of three stories bringing Charley’s time with Big Finish to an…

Doctor Who: The Angel of Scutari review

July 1 2009

Big Finish’s June Doctor Who release sees Hex meet Florence Nightingale, his inspiration for entering into the field of nursing, while the Seventh Doctor and Ace enter the world of spies and counter-spies after the siege of Sebastopol, during the…

Doctor Who: Enemy of the Daleks review

May 19 2009

The Daleks are swarming across the sector. One ship of Valkyries – female fighters – flees the battles, limping to the nearest human scientific outpost for assistance… but the Daleks aren’t far behind. The troubled outpost, though, is plagued by…
