Review – The Lives of Captain Jack
Review by Doctor Squee (Host of Gallifrey Stands Podcast)
Big Finish legendary writers James Goss & Guy Adams bring 4 brand spanking (and with Jack there would be spanking) new adventures in one set for this Doctor Who & Torchwood favourite character played as always by the wonderful John Barrowman.

Review by Doctor Squee (Host of Gallifrey Stands Podcast)
Let’s just get this out of the way; this is fantastically written & directed by Scott Handcock and a story where Tosh played by Naoko Mori gets to shine in a way which I feel maybe she didn’t always get to on TV. I say this up front as there is so much to talk about in this release.

Review: Torchwood – Dollhouse
Review by Doctor Squee (Host of Gallifrey Stands Podcast)
If a year or two back when Big Finish started the Torchwood range you would have said they were going to do one with a new Torchwood crew, not involving any of our favourites I might have been dubious; but Big Finish’s Torchwood has been so good and diverse in it’s output that series producer James Goss has earned the right to do something completely new with it and earn’t my trust.

Review – Doctor Who: The Silent Scream
Review by Doctor Squee (Host of Gallifrey Stands Podcast)
Sometimes you just catch lightning in a bottle; this is one of those times. James Goss has written a story that exists in a very specific moment in time; when movies went from silent to ‘talkies’. When you get a time like that there is a natural fear from those involved in silent film to draw on as a story. This is just fun from beginning to end.

Review: Torchwood – Visiting Hours
Review by Doctor Squee (Host of Gallifrey Stands Podcast)
Mild Spoilers!
In TV Torchwood I loved how they fleshed out what to begin with were mere supporting parts. PC Andy becoming a sergeant and a proper ally to the team and not just the comic relief that got them into places as a cop sometimes.
So it was also with Gwen’s long suffering husband Reece played brilliantly by Kai Owen. He felt more and more like part of the team and whereas Miracle Day wasn’t everyone’s favourite adventure; he really shined in it and had a lot to do.

Review: Torchwood One – Before the Fall
Review by Doctor Squee (Host of Gallifrey Stands Podcast)
If you had told me a few years back I would be looking forward to a Torchwood Big Finish release as much as a Doctor Who, I wouldn’t have believed it. Sure the TV show was great; but it’s always Doctor Who first. But Big Finish have done such an amazing job with the Torchwood range as to make it up there with their finest Doctor Who releases.

Review – The Diary of River Song: Series 2
Review by Doctor Squee (Host of Gallifrey Stands Podcast)
Now this one was released during the Christmas period, but my, what a perfect way to kick of the new year!
River Song (Alex Kingston) is paired with not 1, but 2 Doctors in this set; those being 6 & 7, Colin Baker and Sylvester McCoy. And they manage to do it without River taking a back seat at anytime. Of course it helps when you have as strong a character as River, but it would be easy to have a writer accidentally turn it into a Doctor Who set by another name, this does not happen.
