Stories From The Vortex: A Doctor Who Audio Adventures Podcast

Following on the interview with Big Finish founder and executive producer Jason Haigh-Ellery in the previous episode, we're back in action after a lengthy and unplanned summer hiatus. Matthew Kresal, Mary Lang and Robert Haynes all get back to together for the first time in months to chat about all things Big Finish. Topics covered include the major announcements connected to both Doctor Who and Blake's 7, what we've listened to during the hiatus and we chat a bit about Big Finish's recent adaptation of Russell T Davies' 1996 Doctor Who novel Damaged Goods.

Following on a suggestion by one of our listeners, this episode finds us giving a listen to Big Finish's series Counter-Measures, which follows the team first introduced in the 1988 Doctor Who TV story Remembrance Of The Daleks, going through all four box-sets of the series. Topics discussed include character development, “box-set syndrome”, the influences on the series and our anticipations of Big Finish's future plans for the series. We also discuss the recently released trailer for Big Finish's upcoming re-imagining of the classic cult series The Prisoner.

After a long and unexpected delay, we present our third and final episode looking at the Destiny Of The Doctor series, co-produced by Big Finish with AudioGo as part of the show's fiftieth anniversary, looking at the final three stories covering Doctor nine through eleven. Topics discussed include the quality of each of story's respective reader, how each story represents each Doctor's era (perhaps too much so) and some thoughts on the series overall.
Note for listeners: The episode's long delay has been due to a series of unexpected technical issues that were not noticed during the original recording. Attempts have been made to fix these issues in the editing stage. However, listeners may still spot overlaps or occasional changes in sound quality as a result. We apologize for the inconvenience.
