Prisoner at the bar, you have been found guilty of using the word “Meh” to describe Season 26. For this act of grave and gross heresy, the penalty is that no one will ever buy you a drink again, and that your name will become a by-word for all piggy-wiggies and bumheads, among the entirety of fandom, from now until the end of time. Have you anything to say as to why sentence should not be passed…

Big Finish’s Third Doctor Adventures range so far has probably been one of the company’s most consistent in terms of quality.

None of the stories which span the three previous box sets can be labeled as “bad.” One may have fallen right on the border between “good” and “mediocre”, but the statement that “none of these serials have been bad” still holds true. However, now that there is yet another…

The previous release in Big Finish’s The Fourth Doctor Adventures range, The Skin of the Sleek, was a very well put together piece of Doctor Who. It ended on a cliffhanger that packed a punch and left the listener with a great taste in their mouths so that they would gobble up the second half of the story when it came. Well, it felt like a long wait, but that second half did eventually come – so…

It’s 1973 all over again! The Third Doctor (Tim Treloar) and Jo Grant (Katy Manning) continue fighting alien menaces on behalf of UNIT in volume four of Big Finish’s The Third Doctor Adventures. It’s two firsts for the Third Doctor as he comes face to face with the Cybermen and the Meddling Monk in a pair of new adventures. The Rise of the New Humans by Guy Adams When a man dies by falling from…

Racism and slavery are not often touched upon in deep terms within Doctor Who these days. There are, of course, the odd debates or mentions about the subject (2017’s Thin Ice being the most recent and one to briefly admit to both at the same time), but fleeting glances at what happens when bigots are given too much power is all that Doctor Who has looked at. The Behemoth is Marc Platt’s vehicle…

As the enjoyable-for-the-most-part Fourth Doctor Adventures Series Six draws to an end we are left with one final tale. A tale of a backwater planet whose inhabitants hold one of the many lost secrets that Gallifrey keeps quiet. It is a tale of lies and deception. It is a tale that appears to be more than what it seems, but knowing Doctor Who and how it usually works it probably isn’t. Ladies and…

In next year’s Third Doctor Adventures Volume 4 from Big Finish, Jon Pertwee’s incarnation of the Doctor will face the Cybermen and the Meddling Monk! The Cybermen have faced nearly every incarnation of the Doctor; in fact, they cropped up loads of times opposite Patrick Troughton’s Second Doctor, in The Moonbase, Tomb of the Cybermen, The Wheel in Space, and The Invasion. But after that,…

Last December’s release Quicksilver, which was voted as the most popular Main Range release in the latest DWM polls, saw the return of Flip Jackson, played by Lisa Greenwood. Now, she has joined the Sixth Doctor (Colin Baker) and Constance Clarke (Miranda Raison) as a full-time companion, beginning with the first in the latest trilogy, an authentically historical story, The Behemoth. Think of it…

He may be scattered through the Doctor’s time-stream like confetti, but the Great Intelligence has only properly appeared in five (and a noggin) Doctor Who TV serials – plus one loose spin-off that didn’t feature the Time Lord at all. His adventures away from the telly box are pretty extensive, but if you’d like to learn more about the disembodied presence with a distinct love for snowmen, your…
