As many of you will know, the Doctor Who Companion has its foundations on the classic Kasterborous website, a predecessor that sadly ended a few years ago, displacing a community of fans. But Kasterborous didn’t completely die — it lives on with the PodKast With A K, presented by Christian Cawley as he’s joined by a cavalcade of regulars and irregulars. This month, he’s joined by… well,…

“It was the end of everything, the final battle…” Big Finish ends its Monthly Adventures range, which for a long time was known as the Main Range, with a four-Doctor release ominously titled The End of the Beginning. It would be fair to say the question on most fans’ lips has been ‘what comes after this?’ given this range is pretty much an institution of Doctor Who. And the answer to that may…

Set shortly before Planet of Fire, the penultimate Big Finish Monthly Range release The Blazing Hour feels very much like a sign off to the Fifth Doctor’s era. Which it is, kind of. Since 1999, this range has primarily been where this incarnation has been performed, with over 85 appearances by Peter Davison. And to fit that end of era feel, everything in The Blazing Hour is pretty bleak. The…

Target Books couldn’t reach an agreement to adapt work by…

The Fifth Doctor’s sometimes-companion, Kamelion is finally coming to Big Finish this month, kicking off a trilogy of tales for the robot.

Introduced in 1983’s The King’s Demons, the shape-shifter was never properly utilised on screen, partly due to the untimely death of its operator, Mike Power. But now, Big Finish has brought Kamelion back, voiced by impressionist, Jon Culshaw.

It would…

Doctor Who fans know Mark Strickson better as Vislor Turlough, the red-haired alien who travelled with the Fifth Doctor in 1983 and 1984. But since then, he’s become a big name in the world of documentaries, even working with the late, great Steve Irwin, aka The Crocodile Hunter. In 2014, Mark was attending a convention during one of his brief trips to the UK; while the rest of the guests…

Big Finish usually, and to great effect, indulge in their audio version of Doctor Who running at a longer pace than its ongoing television counterpart. The Doctor’s adventures can range from 2 to 6 parts to their huge variety of box sets, telling epic adventures. Sometimes, however, it’s nice to have a break from that format and have some shorter (albeit just as full) trips. Enter The Memory Bank…
