He’s back… and it’s about time. 😘 Been quiet on here, but 275 Adventures never stopped—just posted a big, personal review of The Holy Terror. It’s brilliant (obviously), but this time it really got me. Also up: Daleks, Benny, Mel in Pompeii. Start here 👇 275adventures.substack.com/p/14-the-hol...

I’ll just leave this here…

I am 25!! Not in real life (that ship sailed long ago), but I’ve just finished Colditz, story 25 in my quest through all 275 Big Finish Monthly Audios (that review’s coming later this year!) Thanks so much if you’ve read, commented or subscribed on Substack. It means the world and keeps me going.

Is it a haunting? Is it an alien invasion? Is it… just a bit boring? New review just dropped: Winter for the Adept… featuring ghosts, snow, Nyssa’s bad mood, and a very questionable accent. 275adventures.substack.com/p/10-winter-...

Ghosts. Snowstorms. And one very grumpy Nyssa. But the real mystery isn’t who’s haunting a Swiss school…it’s how alien body-snatchers feel less chilling than lukewarm tea. 😂 Here’s the trailer to remind you why this had all the potential before my review drops tomorrow! #bigfinish #doctorwho

“After 18,000 years, patience is a quality I possess in abundance…but this feckless woman tried it surely.” Just when I think I can’t love this story any more than I do, it delivers a withering outgrown worthy of a Drag Race roast. Read why Spectre of Lanyon Moor is wonderful below! #DoctorWho

“So… you liked The Spectre of Lanyon Moor, but what score did you give it on that spreadsheet your husband calls ‘over-engineered’ and ‘so bloody extra’?”, I hear literally tens of people ask. It got a healthy 78/100 (avg 7.63/10 per ep). Why so high? Evelyn, mainly, tbh: #DoctorWho #BigFinish

Moors. Monsters. Manor houses. The Spectre of Lanyon Moor is pure Hinchcliffe-era gothic horror, with the Sixth Doctor and the Brigadier as your dream team. Possibly my fave Main Range release so far? Full review just dropped… #DoctorWho #BigFinish #SixthDoctor #TheSpectreofLanyonMoor

I’ve been quiet this week cos Red Dawn didn’t exactly light a fire under me. But The Spectre of Lanyon Moor? OMG, yes. Atmospheric. Gothic. Glorious. My full review drops tomorrow - subscribe now! 275adventures.substack.com/subscribe #DoctorWho #BigFinish #SixthDoctor #WhoReview

Red Dawn tries for space exploration, moral dilemmas and honourable aliens, but it’s all just a bit *dull*. Here are 5 Big Finish stories that tackle those same ideas… and nail them.

My ridiculous scoring system (don’t ask, it involves spreadsheets and pain) has spoken… Red Dawn lands with a score of 43/100. That’s higher than Land of the Dead… but not by much. (Mars is cold. My feelings were colder.) The full review is now live and loaded with Ice Warrior grunting…

Big Finish took us to Mars in Red Dawn… but did they give the Ice Warriors anything to do once they got there? I’m happily gallivanting through the Monthly Adventures, and this time: we’ve hit a bit of Martian turbulence. (Spoiler: it’s no Waters of Mars.) Full review below! #DoctorWho #BigFinish

What do The Genocide Machine and Planet of the Daleks have in common? Big jungle. Bigger Daleks. Not a clue what invisibility actually is. Honestly, one has a sentient library and the other has purple coats… but both are pure Dalek nonsense in the best way. #DoctorWho #BigFinish #Daleks

To celebrate the return of the Daleks in this week’s Doctor Who review, I’m counting down 5 times Big Finish brought back monsters from the Classic series. Some were brilliant. Some were bonkers. All were unforgettable. Let’s go… #doctorwho #bigfinish

Personal. Nostalgic. Dalek-y. “When you’re a boy without the words for why you feel different, you find other ways to escape…” Stories saved me. This week’s review is more than just Daleks… it’s personal. Read it below and let me know your thoughts 😊 #DoctorWho #BigFinish #Daleks #SciFiEscape

Spending the evening in 1986, where Ben Jackson’s worried computers have taken all our jobs. Unrelated: I was in an AI seminar today. #DoctorWho #TenthPlanet #RecordStoreDay #Cybermen

Nerd alert: I have a whole spreadsheet where I rank every Big Finish Monthly Adventure and The Genocide Machine scored 62, landing just below Whispers of Terror! Not just exterminations… EXCELerations too. (Sorry 😂) The review’s live now: 275adventures.substack.com/p/7-the-geno... #DoctorWho

No really… everyone listen to Hooklight. Now. @verbatimfoley.bsky.social is a bloody genius and I’m SO excited to see what he does with Jodie Whittaker in Vampire Weekend next year!

“You can’t rewrite history—not one line!” Barbara learns it in The Aztecs. Evelyn learns it in The Marian Conspiracy. Two incredible stories, decades apart—but both remind us that time travel isn’t tidy, and history is anything but safe. #DoctorWho #BigFinish #TheMarianConspiracy
