The Diary of River Song: My Dinner with Andrew

The Diary of River Song: My Dinner with Andrew by John Dorney (Big Finish, 2018) A diverting timey-wimey story spoilt only by the cod-French maître d’ (British actor Jonathan Coote).

Prisoner of the Ood

Jenny: The Doctor’s Daughter – Prisoner of the Ood by John Dorney (Big Finish, 2018) John Dorney is perhaps the best of Big Finish’s regular writers. Prisoner of the Ood has a conspicuous Doctor Who vibe (Russell T Davies era) and an intelligent script, showcasing Georgia Tennant while using Jenny’s character newness to camouflage its in-premise artifice.
