Once and Future: Time Lord Immemorial Review
Read more: Once and Future: Time Lord Immemorial ReviewFrom the outset, Time Lord Immemorial carried with it high expectations and a lot of history.

Torchwood Monthly #77 – Oodunnit – Review
Read more: Torchwood Monthly #77 – Oodunnit – ReviewPart two of the Ood Torchwood trilogy sees Zachary Cross Flane, and his Synthetic partner Chloe return for another mystery, acting as agents for the Torchwood Archive.

VNA #2 – Timewyrm: Exodus
Read more: VNA #2 – Timewyrm: ExodusLast year I reviewed Timewyrm: Genesys, the first Virgin New Adventure book published.

Once and Future: Two’s Company – Review
Read more: Once and Future: Two’s Company – ReviewPart four of Big Finish’s grand, epic tale of degeneration, Doctors and history sees Colin Baker return once again, but as close to himself as we’ll be getting in this series. With the help of a few spins of the Doctor Who character wheel of chance, the story is populated with another group of random,…
