My review of Big Finish Adventure #13 The Shadow and the Scourge is now available at Amazon.com here.

This is the first of Two regular Doctor Who adventures that cross over with the Bernice Summerfield adventures. It hasn’t persuaded me to go chasing after them. They do actually predate the Dr. Who audios slightly (1 year). I suspect it is a matter of taste.

The casual decision reaction to death and mayhem even for the 7th doctor doesn’t seem to be in character. I wouldn’t suggest starting with this one.

My review of the Big Finish Companion Chronicles adventure The Prisoner’s Dilemma is available at Amazon.com here.

This is the prequel to the Key 2 Time series however as long as you listen to it before the last part it works fine.

My Review of the Big Finish Doctor Who Audio The Fires of Vulcan is now available at Amazon.com here.

It is interesting to note that this adventure doesn’t conflict with the 4th Doctor adventure The fires of Pompeii. In fact it reinforces it.

Note that the Doctor as soon as he realizes where he is doesn’t hesitate, doesn’t pontificate he immediately turns and starts booking for the Tardis. Since he knows the Volcano doesn’t errupt till the next day there shouldn’t be the same hurry or panic. But if he KNOWS that he is already there in a previous incarnation then that changes the picture and he needs to be out of there as soon as he can.

Thus Fires of Vulcan is not only a first rate episode it makes Fires of Pompeii even better.
