Released the same time as Volume 1, Class Volume 2 is another set of three stories centred on the comings and goings at Coal Hill Academy. The good news is this set of stories is (at least) as good as the first! The bad news is Big Finish has yet to announce any more stories. … >

Doctor Who: The Lord of Misrule – audio novel review

The Doctor and Romana reunite with those indefatigable investigators of the infernal, Jago & Litefoot.
