DWAD: End of Innocence (episode one)

The ever reliable Doctor Who Audio Dramas have released the first part of their second story this year. It’s a question of character this time, as The Doctor’s tendency to spontaneously intervene has terrible results. More at the link.

Big Rip-Off: Destiny of the Anoraks – plus News and Previews

And finishing off the Anorak Trilogy is parts two and three of Destiny of the Anoraks, featuring a well known mischievous monk. For anyone that doesn’t enjoy having to listen to audio plays through youtube, you might want to check out http://www.dirpy.com/. An online service that can download the audio from youtube into an mp3 file. There are lots of sites like this if you do a quick google, but I’ve found Dirpy to be a reliable free version. I much prefer loading up my walkman and listening wherever I like, so this has been really useful.

More exciting news has popped up this week. Planet Skaro is gearing up for another run of audios. Their fourth season, which is quite an achievement. Especially as they are actually good. Ha. They’ve put up a sneek trailer which I’ve had to link to directly. More on the first audio when it arrives.

If that’s not enough, BTR productions has announced it’s return from beyond the grave. Potentially with a few more audio stories to round off their already 3 season long series. Some years ago there was mention of an unfinished audio, and so hopefully that and more will see the light of day.

BrokenSea: East of the Sun, West of the Moon

Episode five of the continuing BrokenSea adventures has landed. And I do love that title. The story itself concerns a bounty hunter’s search for justice across the timestreams. Intriguing.

Big Rip-Off: The Anorak Trilogy

Here’s something new but old, and late on this blog but only because of my brief hiatus. Recently exhumed from the Big Rip-Off Productions archive (or closet?) is their 2003 Doctor Who spoof of epic proportions. Re-edited and unleashed upon the world. The whole thing is going up on youtube and at first glance is pretty well put together. Full of in jokes, classic characters, and other sci-fi references. Give it a whirl.

Planet of The Anoraks – Episode 1
The Doctor Arrives at Berman Cove to find the Master up to his old triacks:

BrokenSea and Giant Gnome: New Episodes

Before I get started with the new links, I just need to forewarn everybody that I will be without internet access for over two weeks very soon. A case of the physical world showing it’s limitations – can’t wait for the next evolutionary step. So any new releases in that period are going to get missed. I’ll do a quick round up as soon as possible, although there’s nothing I’m aware of scheduled to come out. However, there’s been so much new stuff of late that anything could happen. After the disruption I should be back on track and updating things in a more timely fashion. On with the show…

Giant Gnome’s story ‘The Ouroboros Project’ has taken a thrilling turn with the imminent threat of a deadly virus being released by UNIT! This story began as a bit of slow burner, then in the last episode really shaken things up.

BrokenSea kick off another storyline, this time set in the gangster world of 1929 Chicago. The Doctor and Amanda become embroiled with more meddling aliens and ‘The Medusa Orb’.

Plymouth Who: Minus One

Plymouth Who’s first audio release is a 50 minute adventure. They were the team behind fan film The Other Side last year, which I thought had the best fan who script for some time. With good writing being so integral to audio plays I’m eager to hear how they’ve done. The story sounds encouragingly different. They currently don’t have their own website and are releasing through the Gallifrey Base forums. So if you want to find out more about them or let them know what you think, that’s the place to go.

Only members can read the forum, and so I will put a copy of the story blurb and the direct links on here. Hopefully they won’t mind, it’s for the benefit of those of you not interested in joining the site.

Minus One:
It’s the end of the world… again… with Planet Earth almost nothing but a ball of waste nobody wants, it’s up to a small teem of scientists to try and turn the clock back and save our Earth from being nothing but a radio active sphere in space!

But they are not alone, as an old and ancient race has awoken from a long sleep but they are not happy with what they find.

Can the Doctor prevent the final tick of the clock… only one thing in certain… planet Earth is one minute from Doomsday!

Then following that with a combination of more audios and films.
