Ian: Come on, you.

The Master: This is undignified!

Ian: We're not leaving you in [the Doctor's TARDIS].

The Master: At least remove the hood.

Barbara: I suppose we are sufficiently deprogrammed... As long as we stay on our guard.

The Master: This world, again? No!

Barbara: It seems to be the same storage bay... But different- cleaner.

1st Doctor: Chesterton! Ms Wright!

Barbara: Doctor!

The Master: Oh, no... Put the hood back on. PLEASE!

(The First Doctor Adventures 1.1: The Destination Wars)

(A few minutes later...)

The Master escapes from the crate they locked him in, chuckling.

Dreyfus!Master: You weren't the only one to meet with Houdini, Doctor!

Reviewed: Big Finish’s Doctor Who, Once and Future – The Union

Reviewed: @bigfinish’s #DoctorWho, Once and Future – The Union

The final – or perhaps penultimate – chapter of Big Finish’s Doctor Who 60th anniversary event brings Once and Future to an epic climax, with the Eighth (Paul McGann) and Fourth (Tom Baker) Doctors reuniting with their granddaughter Susan (Carole Ann Ford) and future wife Professor River Song (Alex Kingston) against the Union (the titular character voiced by Maureen O’Brien). One Classic era…

Just listened to: “Doctor Who: Forty”

Celebrating four decades of the Fifth Doctor, with stories from across his timeline.

1.1 Secrets of Telos by Matt Fitton (4 parts)

Professor Parry’s expedition to the tombs of Telos was hardly an unmitigated success. The handful of survivors limp home in a spaceship… unaware that the deadly peril they faced from the Cybermen is not yet banished.

Into this situation stumble the Fifth Doctor and his friends Nyssa and Tegan - and they’re soon in a deadly fight for their lives.

Except things aren’t quite that simple - something odd is happening to the Doctor. He’s suddenly in a different part of his own timeline inhabiting his future self with no idea of why or how this has happened.

Who is bouncing him through time? And what could they possibly want?

Starring Peter Davison as The Fifth Doctor, Sarah Sutton as Nyssa and Janet Fielding as Tegan Jovanka.

Special guest stars Barbara Flynn as Professor Vansom, Christopher Timothy as Professor Parry, Tamzin Outhwaite as Morton, Nicholas Briggs as The Cybermen and Matthew Waterhouse as Adric.

Also starring Ronan Summers as Captain Hopper.

All other roles played by members of the cast. The characters of Captain Hopper and Professor Parry are originally featured in the Second Doctor story The Tomb Of The Cybermen.

1.2 God of War by Sarah Grochala (2 parts)

The Doctor is still being jolted through his own timeline, and has now found himself with Nyssa, Tegan and Adric in ninth century Iceland near a Viking settlement on the edge of a volcano. A settlement whose leader has just found a god in the ice.

The TARDIS crew are soon in a battle with the fearsome Ice Warriors. There are a lot of lives to save… and not just those of their new friends.

The Doctor’s about to find that his biggest battle may be with his own conscience.

Starring Peter Davison as The Fifth Doctor, Sarah Sutton as Nyssa, Janet Fielding as Tegan Jovanka and Matthew Waterhouse as Adric.

Special guest star Belinda Lang as Revna Ulfsdottir and Nicholas Briggs as Grand Marshall Xasslyr.

Also starring Matilda Tucker as Inga Kundsdottir. All other roles played by members of the cast.

Both stories directed by Ken Bentley.

[This is a tight boxset meaning the stories need to be listened to in order. While Secrets Of Telos and God Of War are self contained stories in themselves, there is a larger arc running through them and The Auton Infinity which is the story that makes up the next box set, Forty 2.]

pretty covers!

#Doctor Who #Big Finish #Eight #Liv #Helen #Thank god for good cover artists. The amount of boring as heck covers was getting a bit dire in the early 2020s.#Anyway initial thoughts from me are!#Cons:#Daleks again. Inevitable I suppose.#Pros:#Dorney's writing for the Daleks! An author I actually trust to do an interesting story with them!#Also Dorney's writing for Drax again! I can't wait.#Also no Matt Fitton. I'm so sorry Matt Fitton you're a great dialogue writer #but imo you've done too many episodes that are just okay to justify you writing for every single set for another 10 years #Also of course! More Eight and Liv and Helen!!#Very interesting that they're just continuing on after Stranded like that. Wonder how long it'll take em to loop back round to the end of it #Under Pros AND Cons:#more standalone stories #I have complicated feelings about that. Mostly that Big Finish would do more story arcs but like. Do them Better jsdlkfj.#It'll be nice to take a break from story arcs but it'd be nicer if Big Finish kept more believable emotional continuity with the characters?#idk. like I said. complicated.

How did you come up with Narvin’s House Name?

ASK ME QUESTIONS ABOUT TRANSFERENCE

SPOILERS BELOW!

Okay, so Witforge was actually not my initial suggestion! On this project I've been working Matt Fitton as he was our script editor (and honestly the nicest human ever!) and I was thinking about Romana's last name and wanted the name to feel like they were from the same world, and a friend of mine in passing had suggested the idea Mindsengine. Which would then be like the mirror to Romana's Heartshaven. I shared this idea with Matt but he thought it might be too on the nose, so we started to think about other words for mind and engine Matt suggested Witforge in a list, and I chose it - as it sounded the most right out of that section and it grew on me the more I read it. So that's how we now have: Narvinectralonum of the House of Witforge

Christopher Eccleston, Nicola Walker and more join Doctor Who audio story

The Ninth Doctor star paid tribute to the late David Warner.

By David Craig

Published: Friday, 25 August 2023 at 4:00 pm

Christopher Eccleston, Nicola Walker and the late David Warner are among the Doctor Who icons set to star in the next episode of Big Finish's Once and Future storyline.

The 60th anniversary event finds The Doctor in a Time Lord field hospital during the catastrophic Time War, where his body glows with a powerful energy – but it's no regeneration.

Instead, The Doctor's past faces begin to haphazardly appear with no clear pattern, prompting him to go on a journey to uncover who or what could have caused this overwhelming degeneration.

The next chapter – titled Time Lord Immemorial – is written by Lisa McMullin and has the following synopsis:

"Slipping between bodies, the Ninth Doctor finds his TARDIS caught between universes as the cosmos starts to break down. A Doctor from another reality arrives and they join forces with Liv Chenka and the Lumiat to find the cause.

"Someone has desecrated the mythical Hall of the Time Lord Immemorial, where the sands of time from the multiverse are held. And those sands are running out…"

Legendary actor David Warner, who passed away in July 2022, gives his final Big Finish performance as the Unbound Doctor in this episode, with co-star Eccleston hailing his incredible talent.

"It was quite emotional for me to work with David Warner, an actor I grew up as a child watching and admiring," he said. "To share the Doctor with him was special. If ever there was an actor who should have played the Doctor, it was David Warner."

Producer David Richardson added: "Bringing the Ninth Doctor and the Unbound Doctor together was inspired by the friendship between Chris and David.

"They have known each other well for some years and it was a treat to bring them together in the studio. To benefit from these two greats acting opposite each other was irresistible."

Robert Powell, who features as the eponymous Time Lord Immemorial, also paid tribute to Warner.

He said: "David Warner and I first met in 1978 when we did The 39 Steps, when I was playing Richard Hannay and he was playing the villain. It was great fun.

"A few years later, I played Frankenstein [for Showtime in the USA] and he played the creature. We haven't worked together since. It was really nice to catch up with him."

Eccleston's former Our Friends in the North co-star Gina McKee also features in Time Lord Immemorial as The Lumiat; an exciting new addition to the Doctor Who universe.

Script editor Matt Fitton explained: "The Lumiat is writer Lisa McMullin’s creation who is, in a way, the Master’s version of the Valeyard - in that she’s the opposite of everything the Master stands for. The Lumiat is an insufferably good version of the Master or Missy!"

Part Six of Big Finish’s Doctor Who 60th anniversary event, Once and Future, sees the Ninth Doctor (Christopher Eccleston) teaming up with the Unbound Doctor (voiced by the late David Warner), the Lumiat (Gina McKee), and Liv Chenka (Nicola Walker). Isn’t that fantastic! The Doctor tries to track down the Union, who are supposedly behind the weapon that caused the Time Lord’s degeneration…

TDP 1246 Doctor Who The Ninth Doctor Adventures Buried Threats Review

review

This title was released in February 2024. It will be exclusively available to buy from the Big Finish website until 30 April 2024, and on general sale after this date.

Not all perils faced by the Doctor are as obvious as an alien invasion. Some threats have been buried for millennia, some for mere centuries, and some hide inside a troubled mind.

But whenever he finds injustice, danger, or just an irresistible mystery, the Doctor won’t stop digging until the truth is uncovered.

3.1 A Theatre of Cruelty by Lisa McMullin Someone or something is manipulating the dreams of French playwright Antonin Artaud. As Artaud’s nightmares are made manifest, the Doctor is compelled to intervene. Otherwise, Artaud’s new idea for an immersive theatre could become a ticket to literally die for.

3.2 The Running Men by Mark Wright The TARDIS brings the Doctor to 21st Century Halifax, alongside police Sergeant Ambika Desai, as they investigate a mysterious death.

The trail leads to the Hebble Piazza and an unscrupulous developer, as the Doctor uncovers the town’s distant past – and the infamous Halifax gibbet. The Running Men are rising from history!

3.3 Ancient History by Matt Fitton Professor Bernice Summerfield is delving into the mystery of the Korravin, a mighty warrior horde, vanished overnight. But her expedition seems jinxed. And when a familiar blue box appears, Benny knows they’re in trouble.

As ancient history resurfaces, the Doctor wants to keep some things buried - but Benny’s an expert at digging up the past.

An Ordinary Life- 7.5/10

An Ordinary Life was performed by Peter Purves and Jean Marsh, written by Matt Fitton, and released December 2014.

I had been waiting for this one. I’ve been anticipating it since it was recommended to me a very long time ago (I’ve been slacking on this goal) and I’m pleased to say it lived up to expectations.

I wasn’t particularly sure what to expect from it. I had no idea what it was about but was pleased with the result. There were two main plot points running through the majority of the story– the Doctor vanishing into thin air and the racist harassment towards the Jacobs/Newman family. Towards the end, it is revealed that Michael Newman is, in fact, an alien double. From there, the story wraps up rather formulaically. The Doctor arrives and helps Sara destroy the doubles and release the victims.

I did really enjoy this story! It wasn’t super complicated but, as I said in my previous review, a story doesn’t need to be complicated to be good. I liked the emphasis on the mundane– Steven and Sara living together and squabbling over cooking and rent and such was a nice thing to hear. Especially when you think of what An Ordinary Life is bookended by– the Daleks’ Master Plan. This does have the unintended (or, I suppose, maybe intended) effect of making Sara’s death that much more devastating for Steven.

I’d say my only main qualm with this story was that there was never really any good connection to the racism the Jacobs/Newman’s faced. It needed to be addressed but I felt that it wasn’t particularly tied into the end of the story. I’m not criticizing the story for having it be present (the opposite is true, I would’ve been annoyed if it hadn’t been) however, I think it needed to be addressed towards the end rather than just sort of… forgotten about.

Overall though, I really enjoyed this one! I love the mundane and I think it was a great little adventure to give Steven and Sara a little break from the Daleks’ Master Plan.

7.5/10

Friend Death Count: 0

Steven Tortured Count: 0.5

The Doc does some messed up shit to Steven Count: 0
