ELEMENTARY MY DEAR COLIN
Colin along with Terry
'Davros' Molloy will be taking to the
road in a 'radio play for the stage'
adaptation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's The Hound Of The Baskervilles this autumn.
“The
legend of the Hound Of The Baskervilles
has haunted the Baskerville family for
generations – none more so than Sir
Charles Baskerville, who died in
mysterious circumstances worthy of the
legend. This leads Doctor Mortimer to
consult Sherlock Holmes & Doctor
Watson, in the hope of preventing the
heir to the Baskerville estate, Sir
Henry, from suffering the same fate. But
the supernatural seems a very long way
from 221B Baker Street…
However, once
Holmes & Watson journey to isolated
Baskerville Hall, the line between
reality and the legend becomes blurred.
Death, doom and myth surround them –
what is the secret of the butler in the
night, whose is the mysterious lantern
that shines in the darkness, and what
hellish apparition stalks Dartmoor with
murderous intent?”
The Sixth Doctor is
back in action for Big Finish along with
companions Mel Bush, Hebe Harrison and
Professor Patricia McBride in the new
audio boxed set Purity Undreamed.
The Doctor heads
back to Earth with Mel and Hebe in tow,
little dreaming what lies ahead.
Accompanied by their new friend,
Professor Patricia McBride, alien threats
abound, dangers lurk, and the cost of
meddling with time is more than anyone is
prepared to pay.
2.1 The Mindless Ones by Paul
Magrs (2 parts)
The Doctor, Mel and Hebe visit
Sheffield at the behest of Hebe’s
best friend, Elise, but Elise has
undergone a disturbing transformation.

but who decides what that is?
Joining forces with anthropologist
Professor Patricia McBride, can the
Doctor and his friends save Britain from
an insidious alien threat?
2.2 Reverse Engineering by
Jonathan Morris (2 parts)
When Patricia is invited to a
secretive Swedish clinic by an old
colleague, she tips off the Doctor, Mel
and Hebe, who go undercover to
investigate. Charismatic geneticist
Killian Holm offers to restore youth to
his wealthy patients, but the truth of
his work is far more radical - and far
more dangerous!
As an ancient horror reforms beneath
the clinic, the Doctor must race to save
humanity from an unspeakable temporal
disaster.
2.3 Chronomancer by Robert
Valentine (2 parts)
The Doctor, Mel and Hebe take Patricia
to see 26th century Sheffield, but their
trip is cut unexpectedly short. Caught in
the crossfire between time-criminal,
Khavûl, and dashing
‘chronomancer’, Tannus Vallon,
the TARDIS crash-lands back in the
present.
With a dimensionally transcendental
artefact lost somewhere in the city, the
Doctor and his friends must find it
before Khavûl can... but with
resentments and prejudices finally
unmasked, is an even bigger threat about
to engulf the world?

replacements. But there's something
lurking in the waters below, something of
rage and power that wishes to destroy
them all: the Maelstrom!
