Doctor Who: The Wreck of the World Review

DW Wreck of the World

Here we are, the last Doctor Who review of 2017… and it’s a cracker! The Wreck of the World is not only the best Early Adventures I’ve heard, but might be the best 2nd Doctor audio story in general. Good twisty plot, full of great characters and the lead trio have plenty of great dialogue and moments between them. What a great way to end the year!

Doctor Who: Static Review

DW Static

A little late with the main range this month, but that was solely due to not wanting to “over-Who” my blog by putting the audio releases up at the same time as the Regeneration Marathon. Anyway! Static concludes this three release… “season”? … of Sixth Doctor stories with Constance and Flip, and does so in a really well told, creepy fashion! Let’s take a look…

The War Master: Only the Good – The Sky Man and The Heavenly Paradigm Review

War Master P2

Only The Good rockets to its conclusion in two great stories, with “The Sky Man” being a real contender for Who story of the year. The Master has got himself a companion and wishes to help him save a world? Surely there is something more to this, or has The Master turned over a new leaf? … well, what do you think?! Read on!

The War Master: Only the Good – Beneath the Viscoid and The Good Master Review

War Master P1

Derek Jacobi is back as the Master in what is the first Doctor Who spin-off I’m covering for this blog, and a fine spin-off it is! Sir Derek Jacobi is one of those people who could read the phonebook and make it interesting, so it’s not hard to imagine these turning out as well as they have, though I’ll admit it starts off slow in this half of the “Only the Good” box… So let’s take a more detailed look, shall we?

Doctor Who: The Brink of Death Review

DW The Brink of Death

After a shockingly poor “regeneration” in what is really just the Seventh Doctor’s debut story, Big Finish and Colin Baker got to “do it right” and create a story set just before the Sixth Doctor collapses mysteriously at the start of “Time and the Rani”, and here it is! “The Brink of Death” is sadly not terribly interesting, and beyond the actual regeneration scene it’s very little in the way of … anything beyond talking. Oh well! And we get so few second chances in life…

Doctor Who: The Middle Review

DW The Middle

After a short delay to re-subscribe to the main range, we’re back with the trio of the Sixth Doctor, Constance and Flip. Tackling the “problem” of older people’s role in our society, The Middle does a good job of tackling this issue while also creating a very alien yet believable dystopian society. Not without flaws, but pretty damn good! Let’s take a look!

Doctor Who: Cold Vengeance Review

Cold Vengeance

So we did a contemporary Earth invasion and a pseudo-historical, so what’s left on the Russell T. Davies hit list? Oh yeah, a story entirely in space! Throw in the 10th Doctor’s first encounter with the Ice Warriors and you’ve got a fun, if not a bit plain, story. Let’s finish off the 10th Doctor adventures – Box 2, shall we?

Doctor Who: The Morton Legacy Review

DW The Morton Legacy

Having to wait until I get paid at the end of next week to renew my monthly range subscription for another 12 releases means that this Early Adventure comes first! (that sentence is going to be pointless to anyone who reads this review via the tabs above later on…) Anyway, I wasn’t expecting much from The Morton Legacy, it didn’t sound very interesting and the trailer did nothing for it, and sure enough, there wasn’t much to it. Rather dull, overall… Or am I lying for literally no reason?! You must read on to find out!
