REVIEW | The War Doctor Begins: Comrades-in-Arms
Since 2021, the highly talented Jonathon Carley has played the young War Doctor at Big Finish, and after a successful first run of four boxsets his take on the character returns with The War Doctor Begins: Comrades-in-Arms. The first four sets alternated between three standalone stories and big, three-part epics, and Comrades-in-Arms falls somewhere in…

REVIEW | The Eighth Doctor – Time War: Cass
Big Finish are really feeding fans of the Eighth Doctor recently; this is the third month in a row where we’ve been treated with a new boxset of audio adventures starring Paul McGann… though this one’s a little different.

REVIEW | The War Master: Escape from Reality
Derek Jacobi returns as the War Master, in a very unusual collection of adventures. This time, the devillish Time Lord visits the Land of Fiction, delving into worlds based on Greek mythology, the works of Hans Christian Andersen, the Sherlock Holmes series and Oscar Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray.

REVIEW | Order of the Daleks
The Doctor and Constance arrive on the planet Strellin: a Grade Three world with no knowledge of technology or other civilisations. At least, that’s how it’s supposed to be. A strange signal is emanating from the monastery occupied by the Brotherhood of the Black Petal, and old enemies are lurking in the shadows. The Daleks…

REVIEW | The Seventh Doctor Adventures: Sullivan and Cross – AWOL
For the second time this year, the Seventh Doctor returns… and this time he’s joined by two old friends!

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 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…
