Since 2014, Big Finish’s loving recreations of The Avengers’ lost episodes have transported us back to the formative years of a much loved cult classic. With a harder edge and less absurdity than it became known for, the show was a crime drama which focused on Dr David Keel and the enigmatic spy who regularly … >
Her story may be over on television, but Alex Kingston’s time travelling archaeologist continues to thrive on audio. While last year’s debut season saw her encounter the Eighth, and she has subsequently starred in his Doom Coalition saga, this second box set allows Ms Song to cross Doctors Six and Seven off her temporal bucket … >
Big Finish’s latest three-disc Torchwood release is not set in Cardiff, nor does it contain any Captain Jack.

At the end of another productive year for the audio wizards at Big Finish, we have picked out ten of the best new titles from the past 12 months. We’ll be counting down our highlights from the main Doctor Who ranges in a separate list, but 2016 was a spectacular year for Big Finish’s other properties … >
It has been another amazing year of Doctor Who releases from audio producers Big Finish, who continue to entertain us with stories from pretty much all eras of the Time Lord’s story – including John Hurt’s War Doctor and David Tennant’s Tenth, accompanied by Donna Noble.
