Posted: 19th March 2012 by Brian in Audio Review, Doctor WhoTags: Big Finish, Fourth Doctor, John Dorney, Leela, Louise Jameson, Nia Roberts, Tom Baker
With a couple of straight-up sci-fi stories under their belts, Big Finish Productions continues its long-awaited series of Fourth Doctor Adventures with something different from the Doctor Who toolbox: the historical adventure; more specifically, the historical adventure in which an injustice from Earth’s past leads to a debate about the ethics and desirability of changing history. The Wrath of the Iceni drops […]

In light of that admittedly underwhelming debut, I feared its […]

In the twelve years since then, they […]
