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…
The Doctor and Jamie land on a planet which is not just dark but which seems to have a total absence of light… Bob Ayres concludes this year’s set of adventures for the Second Doctor and Jamie with a story that plays to audio’s strengths (and even has a lovely little joke about the black…
The Doctor arrives on Solis Kailya just in time to help Callen and his (talking) dog… Roy Gill wraps up this box set with a story that has some callbacks to earlier audio adventures for the 9th Doctor, but which stands very well on its own. It starts as something of a base under siege…

London 1923 – and an alien race has the audacity to invade a gentlemen’s club… James Kettle pens the middle story of this box set, giving us a historically-set story that plays very much into the milieu of PG Wodehouse and his fellows – with the Doctor playing a cosmic (and sometimes comic) Jeeves. (There’s…
Professor McBride calls for the Doctor and friends’ help when she makes a shocking discovery in a Scandinavian research facility… Jonathan Morris returns for a second adventure for the Sixth Doctor, Mel and Hebe, and it’s a cracking tale that uses the TARDIS in ways that I’ve expected it to be used far more frequently…
