Doctor Who, Energy Of The Daleks. Big Finish Audio Play 1.04. Audio Drama Review.

Originally published by L.S. Media. April 22nd 2012

L.S. Media Rating * * * *

Cast: Tom Baker, Louise Jameson, Alex Lowe, Mark Benton, Caroline Keiff, Dan Starkey, John Dorney, Nicholas Briggs.

Tom Baker’s incarnation and time as the fourth Doctor was never better than when he faced off against the scourge of Skaro, The Daleks. In Nicholas Briggs’ latest story for Big Finish, Energy Of The Daleks, Tom Baker is once more pitted against one of his greatest enemies and even though it was the first story that was recorded for the return of Tom Baker, there is much to admire in the delivery and the script.

Doctor Who, The Wrath of the Iceni. Big Finish Audio Play. 1. 03. Audio Drama Review.

L. S. Media Rating * * * *

Cast: Tom Baker, Louise Jameson, Ella Kenion, Nia Roberts, Michael Rouse, Daniel Hawksford.

The latest Tom Baker/Big Finish story, The Wrath of the Iceni, finally sees the savage Leela meet her match in the form of Boudica, the legendary warrior Queen of the Iceni.  If this story is anything to go by, both the Doctor and Leela may have met their physical equal in the form of a woman who has gone down in history as a mixture of a heroine and a woman driven mad by revenge.

Doctor Who, The Renaissance Man. Big Finish Audio Play. 1.02. Audio Drama Review.

Cast: Tom Baker, Louise Jameson, Ian McNeice, Gareth Armstrong, Anthony Howell, Daisy Ashford, Laura Molyneux, John Dorney.

A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. In the world of Doctor Who it can lead to downright murder! The second of Big Finish’s new Tom Baker stories, The Renaissance Man, shows with a certain delightful irony that just because you may think you know everything, doesn’t mean you have experienced it and of course there is always just that little bit more to know, even if it’s on the relative value of cow parsley.

Doctor Who, Destination: Nerva. Big Finish Audio Play 1.01. Audio Drama Review.

Originally published by L.S. Media. January 24th 2012.

L.S. Media Rating * * *

Cast: Tom Baker, Louise Jameson, Raquel Cassidy, Tim Bentinck, Sam Graham, Tilly Gaunt, Kim Wall, Tim Treloar.

Destination: Nerva is the brand new Doctor Who audio from Big Finish that requires a fanfare so loud and devastatingly proud as it finally brings the much loved and much missed Tom Baker back into the realm of original adventures. However, it also requires a discretion, the will to give this new series a chance to grow and for Mr. Baker to find his feet at Big Finish whilst immersing himself back as one of the premier Doctor incarnations.

If you’re going to start off a new season of plays then they don’t come much bigger in terms of minimalist style and historical significance than the first true great piece of tragedy performances, Sophocles’ Oedipus.

Doctor Who: He Who Fights With Monsters. Audio Drama Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

Cast: Jonathon Carley, Ken Bones, Nicholas Briggs, Richie Daysh, Indigo Griffiths, Louise Jameson, Harry Kershaw, Nicholas Le Provost, Emily-Jane-McNeill, Jason Merrells, Paksie Vernon.

Should we stare into the abyss knowing that the monster that looks back with sorrow is on the side we have taken in the battle, or do we face the war on our own knowing we strode the high line between two opposing monstrous factions, that He Who Fights With Monsters is divided by fate and the fury of a future as yet unknown.

Doctor Who: Unbound: Doctor of War 2: Destiny. Audio Drama Review.

Eventually the path that should have been taken will reveal itself once more, another chance, another shot of redemption, for Destiny in the hands of the deserving is seldom a one-off affair, for the responsibility of the name is what providence and fate hold dear, a tethered connection, substantial, unreserved, unbound by the road less travelled; for a hero and a good person will always find the right path in the end.

There are sports that seem universally embraced and then there are those that to a proportion of the population is not for them, that is not only fuelled by a passion that defies logic, but can seem reckless, spoiled by money, out of the realms to ordinary men and women, and in the case of motor racing, is all about the one second glimpse of the vehicle, a second in which A Billion Beats of the heart can seem to be over in a flash.

Cast: Tom Baker, Louise Jameson, John Leeson, Jane Slavin, Joe Simms, Jez Felder, Anna Mitcham, Nicholas Briggs.

Every ending must have a beginning, and every person you have ever said goodbye to, at some point said hello for the first time, such is the issue with Time that sometimes it can feel as though these moments are the wrong way round, maybe even inside out, and our minds have to catch up, have to adapt, or we might find that Time will find a way to erase us from the future to come.

Every village has its myth, its local legend, and if doesn’t then it should take a leaf out of the playbook of the long running and popular series, Midsomer Murders.
