Doctor Who – 1986 – All the Years

Doctor Who – All The Years is a quick examination of what was happening in the world of Doctor Who over all its years of existence. I’m not attempting to create a thorough history–just brief look back at the real-life timeline of my favorite TV show. Go back to the beginning and read about 1963 here.

Sherlock Holmes, Blake’s 7, Jeremiah Bourne, Cicero–a Big Finish sampler

In the wake of the whole COVID-19 pandemic, Big Finish–most famous for their original and licensed Doctor Who audios–began to release a variety of projects for free on a weekly basis.  Some of these were related to Doctor Who but many others were based on different licensed properties or even completely original series.    tried to snatch up a bunch of the stuff when it was available, and have just recently gotten around to checking a bunch of it out.

Big Finish has been pretty generous with all this free product, but each one also serves as a sampler to tempt me to buy other material.  Do they work?
