By Earl Green Presenter Mark Gatiss revisits a now-bygone era of Doctor Who appreciation – in the pre-video, pre-DVD days when Target’s compact, economically-worded novelizations of past television stories were all that younger fans had to rely on for knowledge of the show’s early years, and got a...

By Earl Green Review: A clever combination of several elements of Doctor Who history, The Bride Of Peladon is a welcome revisitation to one of Doctor Who’s best-loved settings, the royal court (and adjacent secret passages) of Peladon, as first visited in Jon Pertwee’s era. Add classic elements such...

By Earl Green is the story that says goodbye to C’rizz, the Doctor’s audio-only Eutermesan companion, and paves the way for Charley to depart in the following story, The Girl Who Never Was. So it should come as little surprise that the story focuses heavily on C’rizz. It’s a bit like Planet Of Fire or Earth...

By Earl Green Review: In my review of a previous Doctor Who Companion Chronicles release set during the Troughton years, I praised Wendy Padbury for her uncannily well-observed impersonation of the second Doctor. That was just a warm-up, though - Troughton’s other co-star, Frazer Hines, has Patric...

By Earl Green Review: I’ll admit that I had dared to hope for a pure historical story with no science fiction elements other than the time travelers and their TARDIS, but Mother Russia at least lets its period setting have the spotlight for a little while before getting down to the shapeshifter-trying...

By Earl Green Long after her travels with the Doctor and Jamie ended, and after the Time Lords wiped her memory and returned her to her own timeline, Zoe Herriot experiences disturbing memories of meeting the Doctor. She also remembers him showing her one of his terrifying adventures with the Daleks, a...

By Earl Green Notes: In a rare major continuity blooper for Big Finish, in the “Spring” segment, the Doctor’s fellow Time Lord calls him a “rebel president” - even though this episode’s events precede The Five Doctors, in which the fifth Doctor was drafted into that office, by almost an entire season.
