The Doctor, Tegan and Nyssa come to the aid of an anti-communist band… Sarah Grochala’s two part story is an enjoyable linear tale, showing a side to the fifth Doctor we’ve not seen or heard before, and putting the team behind the Iron Curtain, a location not visited as often as it could have been…

Never meet your heroes… Tim Foley gives us the longer of the two stories in this latest box set of adventures for the TARDIS crew somewhere between Arc of Infinity and Mawdryn Undead, and there’s a great deal to admire in it. A lot of the time the focus is purely on our central trio,…

The Doctor faces terrible choices, and Bernice has a race against time… The final story in this set also marks the last time we’ll hear David Warner’s Unbound Doctor interacting with Lisa Bowerman’s Bernice Summerfield (although it’s now confirmed that there was one more performance by Warner in the vaults, ready for the 60th anniversary).…

The final confrontation with Purity… There’s a lot to tie up in Robert Valentine’s script for this conclusion to the Purity arc – although one element that seemed to have been announced in the PR for this release isn’t present (you’ll know it when you hear it). There’s plenty for all the key players to…

How pure is Purity’s world? The final box set of the Purity arc kicks off with a story by producer Jacqueline Rayner that starts with what we think is a bedtime story, but realise, at its heart, is a rather nasty way of reminding a little girl that she’s not made of the “proper stuff”…

Spoilers An attempt to rewrite Robin’s history goes horribly wrong… In many ways, this is the conclusion to the Stranded saga – or at least, the part of it that deals with the changes to history, and the abortive timelines. Roy Gill’s script takes 107 Baker Street and diminishes it around our lead characters, forcing…

Spoilers Andy Davidson is dead, blown up in an explosion. So how come he’s at the door of Baker Street? I’ve taken a couple of days to process Lisa McMullin’s script for this instalment of Stranded since listening to it.
