The first Fifth Doctor, Adric, Nyssa and Tegan trilogy comes to a close with Zaltys, a fun story with some good twists and turns along its runtime. A very enjoyable trilogy overall, made better by the freshness of the lead cast, after nearly a decade and a half of Fifth Doctor releases, it’s good to hear this period of the show getting new stories at last!
The travels of the Doctor, Adric, Nyssa and Tegan continue as the quartet arrive in Victorian London (an original idea!) and end up in an exclusive club full of delusional people and an endless supply of people called Edward. Funnily enough, there is more too it than that…
The Main Range reaches a new milestone as The Star Men kicks off a Fifth Doctor trilogy staring Matthew Waterhouse reprising his role as Adric for the first time in the long-running range. As if that wasn’t good enough, the story itself is good too! Handy. Let’s take a look…
As I continue to play “main range catch up”, let’s take a look at Quicksilver. The story is significant for two reasons: 1. it settles the mystery of Constance’s husband that has followed her around since her debut story, and 2. it sees the return of Flip, the Sixth Doctor’s earlier companion, who thankfully has been toned down a bit here…
My subscription to the Main Range audio dramas from Big Finish ended just before Christmas, and its taken me this long to find the funds to re-subscribe. On the plus side, I now have a good eight or so new Doctor Who Audios to listen to! On the negative side: this story. Ah well. I’ve heard good things about the next one, so let’s just get this out of the way, shall we? It’s not terrible, just not terribly interesting…
The first full cast Audio Drama series from Big Finish comes to a rather epic conclusion as Travis makes an appearance… alongside the President of the Earth Federation himself! These are three top quality stories, showing this Audio Series to be a fine example for the medium and for Blake’s 7 stories. Let’s take a closer look!
What’s that? You thought Blake’s 7 was finished on this blog? Nope! As a big fan of the Big Finish audio releases for Doctor Who, I had to give their Blake’s 7 range a go, especially as the whole of the first series was relatively cheap! Let’s take a look at the first half of the first Full Cast Audio Drama series, shall we!
Volume Three of the Phillip Hinchcliffe Presents series of audio dramas is now in the books, a range that has varied greatly in quality. I can say safely that this falls somewhere in the middle… want more detail? Click below!
After all these years, a multi-Master story finally happens! Geoffrey Beevers’ melty-faced Master meets Alex Macqueen’s sarcastic baldy Master, with the Seventh Doctor caught in the middle. Sounds good to me!
Drax? That cockney Time Lord from the boring Armageddon Factor? Why would I want to listen to a new story with him? Well, as it turns out, there was a very fun story to tell with the forgotten character…
