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. While the last two boxsets, What Lies Inside? (review here) and Connections (review here), have told…

REVIEW | The War Master: Escape from Reality
Derek Jacobi returns as the War Master, in a very unusual collection of adventures.

REVIEW | The War Master: Self-Defence
The Time War incarnation of the Doctor’s greatest enemy returns, in a boxset of four new audio adventures! Self-Defence is the first War Master boxset since 2017’s Only the Good to feature four writers, which will, I hope, give us a nice variety of stories compared to the more closely-linked episodes in the more recent…

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.

REVIEW | The War Doctor Begins: Warbringer
The War Doctor returns in the second instalment of The War Doctor Begins series! Forged in Fire was one of the best releases of this year, serving as an excellent debut for Jonathon Carley‘s new interpretation of John Hurt‘s iconic character, so it’s safe to say Warbringer has been highly anticipated. But does it hold…

THE WAR DOCTOR REVISITED | Only the Monstrous
Kieran Brennan begins his retrospective of the War Doctor series from Big Finish, as he takes a look at the first boxset: Only the Monstrous! Back in 2015, after Big Finish acquired the license to finally explore concepts and characters from the revival series, I don’t think anyone expected just how soon they would take…

REVIEW | The War Master: Killing Time
After an outstanding start with Only the Good and The Master of Callous (review here), The War Master range has petered out somewhat, with more recent releases not quite reaching the heights of those earlier boxsets. But now the War Master is back, and this time he’s going up against a powerful new enemy… and…
