So, to the last of the ‘Sara Kingdom’ trilogy. In the moving prologue, Robert’s 21-year old daughter, who Sara helped save, leaves to see the world, never to return, but Robert stays in the house – shouldering the burden that Sara has carried for a thousands years. It is made explicitly clear that the impressionContinue reading “The Guardian of the Solar System by Simon Guerrier (2010)”

The Drowned World by Simon Guerrier (2009)
This is the second in the trilogy and picks up with Robert transcribing his thoughts on the image of Sara Kingdom and the ghost or rather echo of her in the house at Ely. We have a confirmation that human society is now less advanced than 1000 years previously when the house was first built,Continue reading “The Drowned World by Simon Guerrier (2009)”
Home Truths by Simon Guerrier (2008)
This is the first story in a trilogy about Sara Kingdom, written by Simon Guerrier and is part of the Big Finish Companion Chronicles range. The premise is really rather ingenious, finding a way to give use more stories of Sara Kingdom and the excellent Jean Marsh, but creating in the process something really ratherContinue reading “Home Truths by Simon Guerrier (2008)”
The Massacre of St Bartholomew’s Eve by John Lucarotti or Donald Tosh (1965)
In some respects, ‘The Massacre’ is Schrodinger’s Historical. A story that exists in three potential states, none of which quite allow us a glimpse of what it was really like.

The Savages by Ian Stuart Black (1966)
‘I don’t intend to leave these people in this oppressed state’ ‘Oppose you? Indeed I am going to oppose you, just in the same way that I oppose theDaleks or any other menace to common humanity’ The Doctor has come a long way since ‘An Unearthly Child’, his travels have been followed and celebrated byContinue reading “The Savages by Ian Stuart Black (1966)”
Return of the Rocket Men by Matt Fitton (2012)
In which Steven meets a foe from his early years as a space pilot. And Matt Fitton does a very good John Dorney/Simon Guerrier impression! To my mind, Big Finish have served fans of the 60’s era very well over the years, especially given the obvious issues of not having a Doctor from that eraContinue reading “Return of the Rocket Men by Matt Fitton (2012)”
