Big Finish Doctor Who 107 - The Haunting of Thomas Brewster


Do the guys over at Big Finish know how to write a totally shite audio? Once again they have pulled the ‘rabbit out the hat’ with this fantastic story 107 – The Haunting of Thomas Brewster.

Everything about this story seemed to be right, from the acting to many twists and turns this roller coaster takes you on! The story starts off, partially narrated by a Victorian orphan - Thomas Brewster. Obviously, from the story title, he’s being haunted but why and what are The Doctor and Nyssa up to? Well you’ll have to listen to it won’t you!

This joins the other 5th Doctor and Nyssa audios, The Game, Spare Parts, Renaissance of the Daleks and Circular Time as my favourites from that particular partnership. I do love it that much!

I suppose its one of those stories you’ll have to listen carefully. It isn’t as straightforward as other Big Finish stories, I suppose that’s what makes it so good! The production values as always are fantastic, a special mention goes to the ‘ghost’ - I don’t think I’ll listen to an audio at night again!

5/5

Next Time – The 6th Doctor and Evelyn come up against an old adversary in ‘Assassin in the Limelight’.
