DELIGHTS 02.08.20
Colin Baker and Nicola
Bryant return in June for a boxed set of
audio adventures courtesy of Big Finish. The Sixth Doctor and
Peri Volume 01 comprises of four separate
stories for our intergalactic heroes.
1.1 The Headless Ones by
James Parsons and Andrew
Stirling-Brown
When a distress call
from an unknown source threatens to rip
the TARDIS from the vortex, the Doctor
and Peri arrive in nineteenth-century
Africa hoping to find the cause of the
disturbance. Instead, they meet a British
expedition searching for a long lost
tribe: the Blemyae better
known to the locals as the Headless Ones.
1.2 Like
by Jacqueline Rayner
On the Earth colony
world Rusina, the populace strive to be
popular. Likes lead to promotion,
dislikes lead to demotion and more
recently, something worse. So when the
Doctor investigates the truth behind
their subscriber-led society, he finds
himself about to become very unpopular
indeed.
1.3 The
Vanity Trap by Stuart Manning
Myrna Kendal used to be
a Hollywood film star. Now she spends her
life reminiscing on chat shows but there
is always one unfinished film she refuses
to talk about at least until the
TARDIS interrupts a TV interview, and the
Doctor and Peris appearance stirs
up long-forgotten memories.
1.4 Conflict
Theory by Nev Fountain
Concerned by the
Doctors increasing
over-protectiveness, Peri presents him
with an ultimatum: either they seek
counselling or she leaves the TARDIS
permanently. Reluctant to lose one of his
closest friends, the Doctor seeks out one
of the finest psychoanalysts in the
universe: Dr Sigmund Freud.
LOVE (CRAFT)
FOR SALE 30.05.20
The final story in the
Big Finish audio Sixth Doctor / Flip /
Constance trilogy is Robert Valentine's The Lovecraft Invasion due for release in June. In
this release the trio meet the master of
weird fiction, American author H.P.
Lovecraft.
The
Doctor, Constance and Flip join forces
with 51st century bounty hunter, Calypso
Jonze, to hunt down the Somnifax: a
weaponised mind-parasite capable of
turning its host's nightmares into
physical reality. Chasing it through the
time vortex to Providence, Rhode Island
in 1937, they arrive too late to stop it
from latching onto a local author of
weird fiction... Howard Phillips
Lovecraft.
With time running
out before Lovecraft's monstrous pantheon
breaks free and destroys the world, the
Doctor must enter Lovecraft's mind to
fight the psychic invader from within.
Can he and Flip
overcome the eldritch horrors of the
Cthulhu Mythos? And will Constance and
Calypso survive babysitting the
infamously xenophobic Old Gentleman of
Providence himself?

A brand new audio
adventure for the Sixth Doctor, Flip and
Constance is out this month. Scorched Earth by Chris Chapman takes The
Doctor back to the end of the Second
World War.
July
1944. The TARDIS materialises in a small
village near Rouen, where celebrations
are in full swing. A joyful France is in
the midst of liberation as the local
population welcome a battalion of Allied
soldiers along with a colourfully
dressed Doctor and his two rather excited
friends.
But there are
screams amidst the celebrations as an
angry crowd dish out their brand of
justice to one of their own that they
have branded a traitor. While Constance
and Flip find themselves on opposite
sides of a war beyond a war, the Doctor
has other concerns. The local community
is used to the fires of battle, but a new
type of blaze is burning leaping
from aircraft to aircraft, man to man
and this fire seems to be just as
eager for revenge as the village mob.
THE ICE
WARRIORS RETURN... 18.03.20
The Sixth Doctor
returns to Big Finish for a trilogy of
adventures starting in April with The Cry of The Vultriss by Darren Jones. Sixie will be
joined by his companions Flip Jackson
(Lisa Greenwood) and Mrs. Constance
Clarke (Miranda Raison). This story also
sees the long awaited return of the Ice
Warriors.
Violently
ejected from the Space-Time Vortex, the
TARDIS crash lands on the remote planet
of Cygia-Rema, a mountainous world ruled
by the bird-like Vultriss. Their newly
crowned Queen Skye is expecting first
contact with alien ambassadors Ice
Warriors - and the sudden arrival of the
Doctor, Flip and Mrs Constance Clarke
causes confusion.
However, Skye is no
ordinary ruler, she is the Fabled One
gifted with the deadly power of The
Cry. The queen who will enable the
Vultriss to fly once again at any
cost.
But as the Doctor
investigates why the TARDIS crashed, he
discovers that the Vultriss are hiding a
deadly secret. An ancient legacy that if
left unchecked will plunge half the
galaxy into an eternal living end.
