My review of the first entry of Big Finish’s Gallifrey series. Weapon of Choice can be found at Amazon.com here.
This is an independent spin off of the Doctor Who series featuring Leela, Romana and K9 all companions of the 4th doctor. It focus on events on Gallifrey all of which take place prior to the last great time war.
…if you were looking for vampires when Doctor Who met Dracula in Big Finish #99 Son of he Dragon and was disappointed in finding the historical Dracula instead fear not.
For Coming off of his 247 page triumph The 10 Doctors Rich’s comic blog is now featuring a new Doctor Who story Forever Janette that crosses over between Doctor Who and Forever Knight.
I don’t expect you’ll see any bowships but this has some real possibilities.
Oh and in between episodes you can enjoy his Ancient Roman Comic House of Paulus, a comedy that takes place in a firearms bearing Rome.
Either way Rich’s comic blog is the place to be.
My review of the big finish Doctor Who audio #99 Son of the Dragon featuring the 5th Doctor and his companions Peri and Erimem is available at amazon.com here.
I’ve always been a big fan of the the character Erimem and Doctor Who historicals so this one is a double winner in my book.
My review of Big Finish Doctor Who adventure #6 The Marian Conspiracy staring Colin Baker as The 6th Doctor and Maggie Stables as Dr. Evelyn Smythe is available at Amazon.com here.
For some reason I kept managing to lose this episode on eBay till I finally broke down and bought a new copy mail order from Mike Comics out of Worcester (they managed next day delivery without my asking, definitely worth your time). After listening to the story it’s a real shame I waited so long.
In my opinion it is one of the most important adventures of the run. First of all it was the first Big Finish to introduce an original companion to the series. It established an independence to the series that was necessary, after all we all know the fates of the doctor and each of the companions of the series (except for Ace) very limiting. She proved so popular that Baker didn’t have a different companion for over 18 months.
The second was what it did for Colin Baker. He was not a popular Doctor and his departure from the series was not a happy one. His initial story was of a poor quality. A second bad story would have really damaged the whole series. Remember at this point 8th doctor adventures were not part of the series. If he had been given another clunker that’s every third episode that doesn’t sell.
Anyways this one is very worth your money and time.
Update: Forgot to put in the cover.
Update 2: Colin Brockhurst has done some first rate alternate covers for Big finish products, with his permission I’m including his alternative cover on this post, and will include them in future reviews. As you can see they are pretty good.
