Ghosts

Released November 2020

SOME SPOILERS FOLLOW

There’s no doubting that the pairing of David Tennant and Alex Kingston is one rife with potential given the innate charisma and pride of both the Tenth Doctor and River Song as well as the implicit limitations that continuity has placed upon their developing relationship. Yet while the first two stories of this set have aptly captured the ambitious and sweeping storytelling styles of River’s creator and eventual showrunner, Steven Moffat, ‘Ghosts’ by …

Expiry Dating

Released November 2020

SOME SPOILERS FOLLOW

Given how late in the Tenth Doctor’s televised run the enigmatic River Song was introduced and promptly shown to meet her ultimate fate, reuniting this pair for the latest trio of Tenth Doctor stories is certainly one of Big Finish’s more surprising moves. Of course, this woman who would become so incredibly important to the Doctor and who has flitted throughout his many lives has already found remarkable success in the audio medium, …

Rhys and Ianto’s Excellent Barbecue

Released November 2020

SOME SPOILERS FOLLOW

From the start of Torchwood, Rhys and Ianto in many ways represented the moral- if ultimately flawed- backbone of the universe in which this furtive organization operates, the former providing an outsider’s perspective while not necessarily knowing the full truth and the latter operating from within its ranks. Yet because of their very different lifestyles and positions, the two rarely shared any scenes together on screen, and Tim Foley looks to rectify that …

The Garden of Storms

Released November 2020

SOME SPOILERS FOLLOW

Originally created by the Grace as living tracers to collect the segments of the Key to Time, Amy (now Abby) and Zara made an instant impact alongside and apart from the Fifth Doctor in 2009’s Key2Time trilogy. Developing their own distinct sense of morality while simultaneously trying to understand the universe around them and the position that their powers could and should allow them to assume, Ciara Janson and Laura Doddington successfully helmed …

Shadow of the Daleks 2

Released November 2020

SOME SPOILERS FOLLOW

Coming near the end of Big Finish’s flagship monthly range of Doctor Who adventures, ‘Shadow of the Daleks 1’ arrived as something of an experimental throwback to the range’s early days where unpredictability was the only predictable subject. As the first of two releases to feature four distinct and yet intrinsically linked stories with the Fifth Doctor encroaching upon the Time War of which he should have no knowledge, the first set admirably …

The War Master- Hearts of Darkness

Released October 2020

SOME SPOILERS FOLLOW

With Derek Jacobi at the acting helm and a brilliant setting in the Time War as seen through a more malevolent point of view than the Doctor’s attempts to retain honour and morality allow, it’s no surprise that The War Master as a franchise has continued beyond its initially announced four box sets. As Hearts of Darkness opens, the Celestial Intervention Agency has recruited the Master to journey deep into Dalek territory and …
