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. 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 | Doctor of War: Genesis
Doctor Who: Unbound returns!

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 […]

REVIEW | The War Doctor Begins: Forged in Fire
Four years after John Hurt‘s sad passing, the War Doctor is back in this new boxset of three audio adventures! Jonathon Carley takes up the mantle of this particular incarnation of our favourite Time Lord in a new series chronicling his earliest adventures in space and time: The War Doctor Begins. So far, Big Finish‘s […]

RETRO REVIEW | Doctor Who: The Catalyst
It was Louise Jameson‘s birthday yesterday, so what better time to look back on her first Companion Chronicle in the role of Leela: The Catalyst by Nigel Fairs! This was one of the first Big Finish releases I ever listened to, so it’s always been a favourite of mine… but does it stand up to […]

REVIEW: Shadow of the Daleks
The Fifth Doctor enters the Time War in Shadow of the Daleks, a two-part audio adventure released over October and November 2020. Conceived during lockdown and recorded virtually with a very small cast, this is undeniably an experimental release, and one that has intrigued me since it was first announced back in July. As it’s […]
