Review: Short Trips – A Heart on Both Sides & All Hands On Deck

Posted on by indiemacuser

Review by Doctor Squee (Host of Gallifrey Stands Podcast)

In the latest two short adventures in this range from Big Finish the 8th Doctor in both is reunited with old companions in the shadow of the Time War. If these haven’t been released closed to each other, it’s a funny coincidence & a welcome one as these stories complement each other very well.

“A Heart On Both Sides” is read by Sarah Sutton as Nyssa. Since her work at Terminus Nyssa she has become a controller on the hospital ship Traken; which is parked close to Gallifrey in the shadow of the Time War. But the Timelords are not flavour of the month with most, even though Nyssa try’s to stay neutral. So when one of Nyssa’s staff is suspected of being a Time Lord there are questions to be answered, especially when things start going wrong on the ship. Continue reading →

Review: Doctor Who Early Adventures – The Night Witches

Posted on by indiemacuser

 Review by Kenton Hall

The Early Adventures which are, in many ways, the natural evolution of the Companion Chronicles, have been a fascinating mix of the narrated style of those stories and the full-cast plays of the Main Range. Both allow audiences to revisit the eras of Doctors (and, at times, Companions) who are no longer with us.

Review: Doctor Who – Time In Office

Review by Doctor Squee (Host of Gallifrey Stands Podcast)

This release is a special one for me. Not only does it take place in one of my favourite times in Doctor Who with the 5th Doctor (Peter Davison) and Tegan (Janet Fielding) but it goes against conventional logic to really satisfying results. Continue reading →

Review: Doctor Who – The Silurian Candidate

Posted on by indiemacuser

Review by Doctor Squee (Host of Gallifrey Stands Podcast)

The 7th Doctor (Sylvester McCoy), Ace (Sophie Aldred) & Mel (Bonnie Langford) continue their new adventures together. The Doctor decides to stop off somewhere to take care of something. As it’ll only take a little while there is no need for the companions to come with him. Of course Ace doesn’t buy this and it turns out for good reason. The Doctor’s business involves the Silurians and soon they are all involved in the eternal struggle between the Earths original owners and the human race. But this time, the Silurians have an inside man. Continue reading →

Audio Review: The Time Machine

Posted on by indiemacuser

Review by Doctor Squee (Host of Gallifrey Stands Podcast)

Since the beginning of the HG Wells adaptations by Big Finish; although there are so many greats, the one I have been waiting for is the Time Machine. Anyone like me who is a fan of Doctor Who has to recognise the ideas and the character of the traveller as antecedents to the Doctor, the Tardis and so much more in that show.
