Tosh and Ianto have had two of my favourite Torchwood audios recently, both of which really utilise the characters to tell engaging and personal emotional character studies which have these great darker edges to them; Ianto’s almost fetishistic need to feel loved or Tosh’s treatment at the hands of institutional racism in the medical world. So putting these two members together specifically is a great choice and worked really well in their previous joint adventure Dinner and a Show. SUV doesn’t quite feel as fresh or interesting as that story, in fact much of this story feels too much like a retread of the character work done there but the pairing are still charismatic enough to make the audio overall fun and snappy.
Netflix has unveiled a trailer for the upcoming fifth season of its hit series “The Crown”. The show returns November 9th 2022 following a long gap to Covid-related production delays.
The Eric Roberts incarnation of the Master has entered his renaissance period; a new series of solo stories, reunions with the Eighth Doctor and other Masters, and even a face off against River Song. Seeing this particular portrayal of the Master become so quickly beloved and reappraised is a real joy for me as I’ve always loved the deep levels of camp, pomp and Vincent Price energy that Roberts brought to the role back in 1996. A couple of years ago he got a chance to shine in his own solo set where he was pitted against Big Finish original creation Vienna Salvatori as well as a brief face-off with the Daleks, and that set is genuinely a stoke of genuine in reinventing just how the Master can be characterised and how he works as a villain. So I was eager to listen to Nemesis Express; another three hours with a personal favourite Master.

Netflix has unveiled a set of new images from the upcoming fifth season of its hit series “The Crown” featuring a brand new cast. One image feature Princess Diana (played by Elizabeth Debicki, taking over from Emma Corrin in the previous season) clad in a sparkly gown as she heads into a glamorous evening engagement, her shoulders hunched and head bowed.
It was an interesting announcement that not only was Jacob Dudman stepping away from playing the Eleventh and Twelfth Doctors, but also was being given four, three-episode box sets for the Eleventh Doctor with a new companion and essentially a fourth series set between The Snowmen and The Bells of St. John as the Doctor is searching for Clara Oswald to find out just what her deal is. The premise of this series essentially comes from a moment of disconnect between the two episodes, The Bells of St. John opening with the Doctor being a hermit essentially waiting for Clara to call him but the point of The Snowmen is reinforcing the idea that the Doctor shouldn’t be alone. Of course, it should be noted that adding of extra stories from Big Finish Productions do not negate issues with television episodes despite this being designed to address those issues as Big Finish Productions, while wonderful, are written after the fact separate from whatever the showrunners of Doctor Who are intending. The first of the four sets for this series of The Eleventh Doctor Chronicles is Geronimo!, with behind the scenes interviews implying that a two week period in May 2022 was used to record this and the three future sets which are set to be released between now and 2024. Geronimo! and the second installment, All of Time and Space, indicate that while these sets have a story arc, the arc of the series of sets doesn’t have an umbrella title and the individual titles are coming across as just a touch on the generic side. That being said, I don’t really know what I’d title this set to make it stand out outside of the Eleventh Doctor’s catchphrase.
