Doctor Who: Stranded: Volume 1 by Matt Fitton, John Dorney, Lisa McMullin and David K Barnes (CD/download review).
‘Stranded’ couldn’t be more lockdown if it tried. Released in June 2020, just as the general public of the UK was coming out its enforced isolation and trying out its rather shaky wings it is curiously apposite for our times. Anyone who was feeling trapped and could only access travel virtually might feel a great […]
Doctor Who: The Minds Of Magnox: Time Lord Victorious by Darren Jones (CD/download review).
The Tenth Doctor and Brian the Ood assassin have come to Magnox. The Doctor has some questions and Brian wants to be less bored. On Magnox, the people like to decorate their body externalities and information is a currency. When the two travellers split up, each one will find much more than he expected to. […]
Cicero by David Llewellyn (book review).
Marcus Tullius Cicero was a political writer, a powerful orator and statesman who came to a rather sticky end in 43BC on the way to Macedonia. He was seeking to escape after falling out of favour with the new government of Rome. There weren’t any deselect ions or impeachments in ancient Rome but there were […]
Time Lord Victorious – Eighth Doctor (3 of 3): Mutually Assured Destruction by Lizzie Hopley (CD review).
Picking up after events in the novel ‘All Flesh Is Grass’, ‘Mutually Assured Destruction’ opens with the imminent destruction of a Dalek spaceship. It’s all getting a little bit hairy for the Eighth as he negotiates the tricky route back to his TARDIS. Meanwhile, in another part of the ship, there is an awakening. Two […]
Time Lord Victorious –Eighth Doctor (2 of 3) Eighth Doctor: The Enemy Of My Enemy by Tracey Ann Baines (CD review).
Following the events in ‘He Kills Me, He Kills Me Not’ and the Eighth Doctor (Paul McGann) seems to be in an unholy alliance with his favourite enemy, the Daleks. They have some mutual concerns over who has been altering time. The Doctor has already worked out there are planets that shouldn’t be there and […]
Time Lord Victorious – Eighth Doctor (1 of 3): He Kills Me, He Kills Me Not by Carrie Thompson (audio cd/download review).
The Eighth Doctor (Paul McGann) is on a sightseeing tour but is taken back when his planned visit to one of the Seven Hundred Wonders Of The Universe is a failure due to a very missing Wonder. In fact, the planet is nothing like the brochure and it seems he’s ended up in a western. […]
Westworld: Music From The HBO Series Season 2 by Ramin Djawadi (TV series soundtrack review).
When you have a successful TV series with an endearing music piano intro, its logical to look to see if the soundtrack has come out on CD. ‘Westworld Season 1’s soundtrack has become so high priced that you have to wonder why Watertower Music hasn’t re-released it. For the moment, all we have is ‘Westworld: […]
Forest 404 by Timothy X Atack (CD/digital review).
‘Forest 404’ is currently available as a download to the lucky UK residents who have licensed access to the marvellous BBC. It’s also being released as a digital download to purchase. Pan lives in future times. She is in a world we would barely recognise. Her job is to review data files and delete the […]

If you’re in the mood, you might even do imitation […]
Cyberpunk 2077 – Original Score by P.T. Adamczyk, Paul Leonard-Morgan and Marcin Przybylowicz (computer game soundtrack review).
This is a review of ‘Cyberpunk 2077’s soundtrack, not the licensed songs that you can listen to on the game’s radio and which have been released separately as two ‘Cyberpunk 2077: Radio’ albums. Also, I’m going to stay out of any discussion of the game’s production issues and eventual release state as we’re only here […]
