Watching Season 2 again has been an educational ex-perience. I’ve always thought that it was the weakest Hartnell season and, for the quality of the episodes, I still think that holds true. Doctor Who’s first year had the element of surprise; the joy of having a fantastic new universe opening up before the viewer, whereas Season 3 saw the series at its most experimental...

I was pleasantly surprised when this Saturday’s edition of The Guardian came with a free copy of The Hounds of Art-emis – a BBC Audio release from the pen of James Goss that won’t be hitting the shops until some time in May. This is the second such freebie in short succession, meaning that keeping up with the eleventh Doctor’s exclusive audio adventures...

Having enjoyed November’s inaugural Lost Stories box set far more than I had expected to, I really had high hopes for the second. Generally speaking I much prefer the second Doc-tor’s era to the first’s, and like just about every fan out there, the prospect of hearing the infamously abandoned American Dalek pilot was an exciting one, to say the least. To look at, the box set is every bit as lavish as the first. Alex...

If John Wiles could have picked one serial to survive as a monument to his tenure as Doctor Who’s producer, then sur-ely The Ark would have been it. In a time of diminishing ratings and critical responses to match, this bold four-parter was the ideal illustration of the series’ pioneering spirit; reckless ambit-ion; and good old-fashioned fearlessness. It’s...

As the readers of this site know all too well, I love a bit of alliteration. I’ve also a fondness for Nicola Bryant’s Peri, Old Sixy has long been one of my favourite incarnations of the Doc-tor, and highly-praised humorist Nev Fountain is able to claim authorship of two of Big Finish’s most arresting productions to date. It’s probably not all that incredible, then, that Peri and the Piscon Paradox penned by Nev Fountain and... |

As a keen proponent of Survival as it appeared on television, I was interested to see how award-winning Edinburgh playwright Rona Munro’s script would fare following its transition into prose. I was half-expecting a lush, Kate Orman-style affair abounding with romance and vigour, but instead I got a fairly str-aight novelisation, albeit one buoyed by a few interesting shifts in emphasis and tone...

This fourth season of eighth Doctor audio dramas has been punctuated with more twists, swerves and slights of hand than any that have preceded it, and Prisoner of the Sun con-tinues the trend apace. Here Eddie Robson weighs in with a short and bittersweet script that casts past and future...

The Mutants is, quite understandably, often confused with The Mutants – Terry Nation’s first Dalek serial, better known these days as simply The Daleks. This is actually rather remarkable as both stories are very rich thematically, each ta-king the political and social crises of their respective eras and veiling them in monster-clad allegory...

Ben Aaronovitch’s novelisation of his Remembrance of the Daleks script is one that truly stands apart from its peers. It’s longer, for one thing, and darker for another. Most remarkably of all though, it set the standard for the hundreds of original Doctor Who novels that would soon follow in its wake – and it set that standard high. The book doesn’t feel much like a Target novel-isation at all. There isn’t a whimsical chapter title in sight...

I don’t recall any Doctor Who novel ever being afforded the fanfare that The Coming of the Terraphiles has been. Since Virgin started publishing original Doctor Who fiction in 1991, a number of fantastic authors have been given their first break writing for Who, and thereafter have gone on to accomplish wo-nderful things. But never before has a name from...
