Episode 578 – Once Upon a Midnight Dreary
This week we examine two stories featuring Edgar Allan Poe and his writings and influences.
First, we look at the Big Finish Books short story The True and Indisputable Facts in the Matter of the Ram’s Skull by Mark Michalowski in the book ‘Short Trips – Zodiac’.
Then we review Big Finish’s Eighth Doctor Adventures 4.3 – Nevermore by Alan Barnes.
Plus we discuss the reported departure of Millie Gibson’s Ruby Sunday after the next season of the story. (NOTE: It should be mentioned here that more information has been coming to light about this news since we recorded our conversation about it)
Enjoy!

This week we begin our exploration of the so-called Season 6B. That’s the fan-derived “missing season” of adventures the Second Doctor embarks on BEFORE he regenerates and is stranded on Earth. We start this series with a setup of the events that lead to Season 6B. We review the novelization of The War Games written by Malcolm Hulke and the short story, War Crimes, from the short story collection, Short Trips.
In this week’s adventure through the materials covering the Time Lord Victorious event, we review two more comics, this time from Doctor Who Comic Maker. We review Tales of the Dark Times Episodes 1 & 2. Plus, we explore the first of several audios to come from the event. We review Big Finish’s Master Thief and Lesser Evils, Short Trips.
In this edition of the podcast, we celebrate one of our favorite times of the year with three stories set at or about one of our favorite times of the year.
