Big Finish update!
The second series of Fourth Doctor Adventures featuring Tom
Baker, Mary Tamm and John Leeson
Enjoyed the first series of Fourth Doctor adventures? Want to
hear the (hopefully) best that Mary Tamm has produced for Big Finish? Here is
your guide the second run of Tom Baker stories, with Romana 1 and K9
2.1 The
Auntie Matter (to be released January 2012
Written By: Jonathan Morris
Directed By: Ken Bentley
'Well, old Reggie's finally gone and done it now, hasn't he?
It had all started so well. Finally found a filly worthy of
taking to Basset Hall for the blasted Aunt's approval, bright young charmer
called Romana, then everything goes to pot. Now some Doctor cove's running
round the place waving a wand at everything and people are firing weapons at
us. It's all terribly uncivilised.
Looks like your hero's goose might be a trifle on the cooked
side. It's all so dashed frightening. I wonder if it'll be done for tea?'
