The Third Doctor gets a letter delivered. Jackie Tyler gets a job offer. Lady Christina gets a friend. Harry Sullivan gets duped. On paper this shouldn’t work. The ongoing plot surrounding the Doctor’s degenerations is wrapped up in a clash with a familiar face in a new situation and three old companions interacting in new…

Nyssa is cycling through the French lanes; Tegan is running a bar… and the Doctor is nowhere to be found… Jonathan Barnes pens the second story in the Conflicts of Interest box set for the season 20 TARDIS team, and it’s a suitably labyrinthine tale that reminded me of some of Marc Platt’s early work…

Added on August 18th, 2023 by | No Comments | Report Post

A house in Tudor times is being haunted… by Ace… Georgia Cook’s 80-minute audiobook interlude for the Seventh Doctor and Ace hits the spot in a number of ways, not least (with one small exception – psychic paper? Really?) in being a very good evocation of the period in which it’s set in Doctor Who…

The Doctor has to ensure a critical moment in football history happens as it was meant to… Katharine Armitage’s story to conclude the Pioneers set is an unusual one, with a mix of tone that verges from comic – the way in which the Doctor shoehorns in as many references to football as he can…

Crashlanding to Earth, the Doctor encounters two key explorers… Robert Valentine gives us a celebrity historical for the middle story of the Pioneers box set, although, as with Hidden Depths’ Lay Down Your Arms, they’re celebrities that most people might struggle to recognise – which is a shame, given what we learn in this about…

The Doctor, Callen and Doyle arrive on the Greenwood – could this be a suitable home for a boy and his dog? Roy Gill here continues the story of Callen and Doyle from Red Darkness at the end of the previous “season” of adventures for the 9th Doctor. I noted in the review of that…

Behold America! With an exclamation mark! In their quest to discover what has happened to Hebe, the Sixth Doctor and Mel find themselves in New York, which seems to be as it should, in terms of recorded history (even if there are elements to it that come as a shock to Mel)… but a certain…
