Doctor Who Big Finish Audio Box Set of the Week 7 - UNIT Dominion

Week 7's (February 27, 2016) Audio Drama of the Week was yet another box set, this time being UNIT Dominion.  This box set features the Seventh Doctor and Lost Stories companion, Raine Creevy and "The Other Doctor" and his "companion" Dr. Elizabeth Klein.

The universe stands on the brink of a dimensional crisis - and the Doctor and Raine are pulled into the very epicenter of it.  Meanwhile, on Earth, UNIT scientific advisor Dr. Elizabeth Klein and an incarnation of the Doctor she's never encountered before are tested to the limit by a series of bizarre, alien invasions.

At the heart of it all is a terrible secret, almost as old as the Time Lords themselves. Reality is beginning to unravel and two Doctors, Klein, Raine and all of UNIT must see all their strength and guile to prevent the whole of creation being torn apart.

 
 
 
 
 
Reasoning: I chose this box set because it features two Doctors and it is a more UNIT based story where the Doctors take second stage.
 
 
 
 


Doctor Who Big Finish Monthly Range Preview - The Master Trilogy

Starting next month, the Big Finish Monthly Range will be starting a trilogy of audio dramas that will span across the 5th, 6th, and 7th doctors.  This trilogies main villain will be none other than...The Master! The Master Trilogy starts with a 5th Doctor story entitled,...And You Will Obey Me and will be followed by the 6th Doctor story, Vampire of the Mind all to lead up to the epic conclusion in the 7th Doctor story, The Two Masters.  In The Two Masters, Geoffrey Beevers' Master (The Keeper of Traken, The Light at the End, Mastermind) will join up with his future incarnation played by Alex MacQueen (UNIT Dominion, Dark Eyes 2, Dark Eyes 3, Dark Eyes 4).

1.And You Will Obey Me - Alan Barnes

The Master: wanted for crimes without number, across five galaxies.
The Master: escaped his pursuers. Last known location: rural Hexford, England, Earth.
The Master: dead and buried in an unmourned grave, in a lonely churchyard.
Apparently.

 
 
2. Vampire of the Mind - Justin Richards

Somewhere off the South Coast of England, there’s a lonely island. On that island stands a solitary castle, long since abandoned – haunted, they say. But the truth is, that castle houses something far worse than mere ghosts.
The castle is what lies at the end of a trail followed by the Doctor in search of several missing scientists – all of them connected to the top secret Dominus Institute and its elusive CEO, Sir Andrew Gobernar…
But the Doctor will soon discover that he’s the one being haunted, by a ghost from his past… or perhaps, his future.



3. The Two Masters - John Dorney

The future is dying. All over the universe, gaps are beginning to appear. From the space lanes terrorised by the rag-tag remnants of the once-mighty Rocket Men, to the empire of the Gorlans, stricken by a terrible civil war. Gaps in space/time, portents of the end of everything.
Only three beings might prevent it. The Doctor, a renegade Time Lord from Gallifrey. The Master, another renegade Time Lord from Gallifrey. And another Master, yet another renegade Time Lord from Gallifrey.
One Doctor. Two Masters. What could possibly go wrong?

Doctor Who Audio Box Set of the Week - Week 6 - The New Adventures of Bernice Summerfield - Volume 1

Since the blog has been acting up, I will be uploading the past two Doctor Who Audios of the Week plus this weeks. I will be starting with the choice for Week 6 (February 20, 2016) which is The New Adventures of Bernice Summerfield Volume 1.

The Revolution by Nev Fountain

On the planet of Arviem 2, Bernice Summerfield has a lot of problems. Pursued by robots, maniacs and miracles, she has another issue to contend with. The Doctor's come looking for her – and he's not feeling himself.

Good Night, Sweet Ladies by Una McCormack

Bernice has come to the Moon of Adolin on a desperate mission. Instead, she finds an abandoned labyrinth, two confused survivors, and something ancient that needs her help.

Random Ghosts by Guy Adams

Welcome to the Forbidden World. This world has a secret. The problem is that no-one can remember what it is. Time is broken here. Those trapped here must live the same day over and over – forming alliances, lying to each other, trying to escape. Welcome to the Forbidden World.

The Lights of Skaro by James Goss

Bernice Summerfield is on Skaro, and she's very much on her own. The Doctor can't get to her, not this time. All Benny can do is stay alive for as long as possible. And, in a city full of Daleks, that's not going to be very long.

 

 
 
Reasoning: The reason I have selected this audio is because it mainly features one of the most famous Big Finish companions, the archaeologist Professor Bernice Summerfield (Benny to her friends). The Seventh Doctor is very loosely involved and this set focuses more on Bernice Summerfield. 

Doom Coalition 2 - Released

Sorry for being away, I have been having problems with the blog. Now I am back and back at the right time. This week, Doom Coalition 2 was released. I will be purchasing this audio on the 15th of March and will soon blog my thoughts soon after that. The trailer is on Big Finish Productions YouTube page and I highly recommend checking it out.  Below are the covers for this amazing box set.

2.1: Beachhead - Nicholas Briggs

 
 
 
2.2: Scenes from Her Life - John Dorney


 
 2.3: The Gift - Marc Platt


2.4: The Sonomancer - Matt Fitton

 
 
As I said before, a review of this brilliant box set will be uploaded as soon as possible.
