THE EIGHTH DOCTOR REVISITED | Brave New Town
Kieran Brennan reviews the next Eighth Doctor and Lucie adventure: Brave New Town! Landing in the mid noughties, the Doctor and Lucie are quite surprised that everyone around them is insistent on the fact that no, despite what the TARDIS may say, this is not the mid noughties, it’s the early 90s. Well, I suppose […]

REVIEW | Torchwood: War Chest
George Hewitt reviews May’s Torchwood release: War Chest! War Chest is the debut Torchwood story for writer Rossa McPhillips, and also for director Samuel Clemens. It’s also the first Tosh story in over a year, and is a very different sort of Torchwood story than listeners may be used to. The plot centres around the Antebellum, Torchwood’s storage of alien […]

REVIEW | The War Doctor Begins: Battlegrounds
The War Doctor returns! Jonathon Carley is back for another three audio adventures, as the Doctor’s most secret incarnation becomes further embroiled in the Time War. Forged in Fire (review here) and Warbringer (review here) were #3 and #2 respectively on our Big Finish Top 10 of 2021, so my expectations are high for this […]

REVIEW | The Ninth Doctor Adventures: Back to Earth
Who’d have thought it? This time two years ago, the likelihood of any further adventures for Christopher Eccleston‘s Ninth Doctor seemed very slim indeed… and now here we are in 2022, with his FIFTH Big Finish boxset! Back to Earth is the first of four sets making up the second series of Ninth Doctor Adventures, […]

REVIEW | The Companion Chronicles- The Second Doctor: Volume Three
After almost three years, the Companion Chronicles return! This boxset was due back in 2020, but, as you can probably imagine, certain circumstances meant that couldn’t happen, and so here we are in 2022, finally listening to four new stories in one of Big Finish‘s most consistently strong ranges. But has this been worth the […]

REVIEW | Doctor of War: Genesis
Doctor Who: Unbound returns! For the first time in fifteen years, Big Finish takes a sideways step into an alternate Doctor Who timeline, exploring what would happen if the Fourth Doctor did destroy the Daleks on Skaro, before regenerating into an incarnation known as the Warrior. Colin Baker stars in these three new audio adventures, […]

REVIEW | The First Doctor Adventures: The Outlaws
Stephen Noonan is the Doctor! The First Doctor returns in the first instalment of a new series of relaunched audio adventures, The Outlaws, which consists of two stories steeped in 1960s black and white goodness. It’s always a gamble recasting iconic characters from the Doctor Who universe, but Big Finish have consistently managed to pull […]

REVIEW | Doctor Who: Stranded 4
It’s the end… but the moment has been prepared for. The Stranded series comes to an earth-shattering conclusion in Stranded 4: a collection of four all-new audio adventures from Big Finish! While the first boxset in the series was Who Review‘s favourite release of 2020 (see the full rankings here), volumes two and three didn’t […]

REVIEW | Mind of the Hodiac
Russell T Davies returns to Doctor Who! No, I’m not talking about the announcement that he’ll be taking over from Chris Chibnall as showrunner next year, I’m talking about Mind of the Hodiac, a new audio adventure from Big Finish adapted from Davies’ very first scripts for Doctor Who, written in the 1980s! Produced by […]
