Awesome news! The Tenth Doctor and Donna return with Big Finish

This really is excellent. There was a rumour that this was coming and I really hoped it would, and it has. It’s a long time to wait, the first volume is out in May next year, but at least it’s coming, and, if it’s volume 1 in May, then there’s sure to be a volume 2 not too far behind!

Listening to the Doom Coalition 1

Quite enjoying the Doom Coalition first box set so far. It’s pretty good. Sort of a bit of a follow on from Dark Eyes in a way, not that I actually listened to all of them only the first two. Although, now I actually would quite like to get the rest of the Dark Eyes stories.

Anyway, I think Doom Coalition is going to be a good series if the first box set is anything to go by.

Big Finish’s ‘The Doom Coalition’ due tomorrow …

I have to say that Big Finish have got a fantastic line up for the next few months. Tomorrow ‘The Doom Coalition’ comes out, then between now and the end of the year they’ve got:

  • The War Doctor
  • A new UNIT series
  • The next episode of Survivors
  • The Time War (a prequel to the War Doctor)
  • and let’s not forget, Torchwood episodes too

So loads to look forward to, and I am.

Thinking about the Culture Series

I’ve been listening to the audiobooks of the Culture Series from Iain M Banks for a little while now. I’ve only just finished the third book, ‘Use of Weapons’, but even after three books I have to say that these are amazing literary creations. The vision of the Culture itself is amazing, huge, vast in its conception.

I’m not sure I’ve understood everything in each of the three stories so far, but I can say that I’ve enjoyed them immensely. I plan to listen to the entire series, all 10 books, and, when I’ve listened to them all, I’m considering then reading them rather than listening to them all.

Doctor Who Unbound – Masters of War

Another story I picked up with the Davros stories were going cheap and this was pretty good actually. First off, this is David Warner as Doctor Who! How amazing is that! Secondly, Nicholas Courtney is wonderful. He’s sadly missed.

The story itself isn’t bad. It’s ok. Worth a listen. I’ve never listened to any of the unbound collection before, and so I might dip my toe a bit more after this.
