Doctor Who : The Sirens of Audio: Recent Episodes
Sirens of Audio
Recommendations, interviews, reviews and discussion of audio drama from the Doctor Who expanded universe produced by Big Finish and others.
Hosted by Dwayne Bunney and Philip Edney.
Today our guest is Emmy-nominated composer and sound designer Elizabeth Parker. Elizabeth worked with the BBC Radiophonic workshop from 1978 to the mid 90s.
During that time she worked on over 1400 projects, two of which included Doctor Who. She worked on The Stones of Blood while Dick Mills was on holiday, and she composed the incidental music for the 1985 adventure, Timelash.
Elizabeth also worked as the sound designer for Blake's 7 from series B onwards.
We were thrilled to chat with Elizabeth about her career and her work on our favourite TV series.

In this edition we remember the contributions of Christopher H. Beadmead to Doctor Who. From Script Editor for Season 18 to his three TV stories, Logopolis, Castrovalva and Frontios, to his audio adventures Renaissance of the Daleks and The Hollows of Time, we give our views, "warts and all", as JNT would say.
Joining us for this discussion is Melbourne author Troy Hunter.
Troy has just released his second novel entitled "Gus and the Burning Stones".

For a change we focus on a television episode of Doctor Who.
The Robots of Death could well be at the pinnicle of the classic show, but at the same time, a new science fiction show was gearing up and not far off hitting our screens, namely, Blake's 7.
We take this opportunity to have a look at the episodes along with our co-hosts from our new Blake's 7 podcast, The Way Back.

This time we explore one of the stories in the incredible opening two seasons of 8th Doctor audio adventures, Embrance the Darkness, written by Nicholas Briggs.
We ask the question, does this story contain one of the most electrifying cliffhangers in Doctor Who audio history? We'll let you decide when you hear it.
An actor who joined Big Finish during this time was Ian Brooker, who went on to perform in many Big Finish productions, including Dalek Empire, Cyberman and Pathfinder Legends.
Ian joins us to talk about his career, how he came to be working for Big Finish, and what else he has been doing in his ongoing acting career.
A fascinating discussion as always!

This time we examine the two Big Finish Rani releases... The Rani Elite featuring the Sixth Doctor and Peri, and Planet of the Rani featuring the Sixth Doctor once again, but with audio companion Constance Clarke.
Due to the untimely death of Kate O'Mara, the role of the Rani went to Siobahn Redmond.
So for those who love the classic era Rani or the recent bi-generated iteration, here is a Rani that you may never even knew existed.
Will these Doctor Who stories stack up and finally give the Rani some worthy adventures?
Tune in to find out.

Jean Marsh passed away on the 13th April 2025 at the age of 90. She was a reknowned actress both in the UK and abroad, having worked in TV, film and theatre.
For Doctor Who fans, she is best remembered for her roles as Johanna in The Crusade, Sara Kingdom in The Daleks' Masterplan, and Morgaine in Battlefield.
She reprised the role of Sara on audio for Big Finish in The Companion Chronicles and Early Adventures ranges.
Writer Simon Guerrier joins us for this episode of the podcast, and shares some of his memories of the times he spent with Jean.
We'll also discuss his Sara Kingdom trilogy, which features the stories, "Home Truths", The Drowned World", and "Guardian of the Solar System". There'll be spoilers, so if you haven't heard them, we recommend you grab them from the Big Finish website and have a listen to them first. They are fantastic!
We also have some special tributes to Jean from her Battlefield co-stars, Sylvester McCoy and Sophie Aldred. Thanks to them both for joining us.

Has it really taken us this long to review the first two releases from Big Finish? Oh yes it has!
Would Big Finish have acquired the Doctor Who license from the BBC without these recordings? Oh no they wouldn't!
Oh No It Isn't by Paul Cornell and adapted by Jacqueline Raynor, and Beyond the Sun, written and adapted by Matt Jones, were released way back in 1998... and the rest is history!
Gary Russell joins us to talk about those very early days and specifically, the production of these original Big Finish classics.

Re-casting beloved Doctor Who characters for audio stories is a contentious issue for some fans. Our aim for this episode is to invite the doubters to at the very least, give them a try.
Our guest this time is Christopher Naylor, who plays fourth Doctor companion Harry Sullivan for Big Finish, and has appeared out of time in the U.N.I.T. Nemesis series.
We discuss his career, his other creative outlets such as art, and how he approaches the iconic role for audio.

Maureen O'Brien was the first "new" companion to replace a departing Doctor Who companion back in 1965. Vicki was a replacement to Susan, the Doctor's grandaughter, and she instantly lit up the screen with her enthusiasm and chemistry with the regular cast.

In this interview Maureen reveals how she came to be acting in the theatre and then transitioned to television with Doctor Who, her relationship with William Hartnell and the rest of the cast, her writing and how she came to be working with Big Finish.
Thanks for chatting with us Maureen!

73 C.E. The Doctor, Susan, Ian and Barbara land in Judea and quickly find themselves separated.
The Doctor and Susan are camped with the Roman army led by Flavius Silva.
Ian and Barbara are trapped atop Masada with the last Jewish zealots to stand against the might of Rome.
Barbara knows the fate of these people. Ian had never heard of Masada until their arrival.
History cannot be changed. Not one line.
Ian, now known by the people of Masada as Joab, doesn't care about history.

I think many audiobook listeners would agree that the definitive version of The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde would be the abridged reading by Tom Baker.
Here is an unabridged version to whet your appetite for the forthcoming Big Finish version due for release in August 2022, adapted by Nicholas Briggs.
It may sound strange being read by an Australian, but it was written by a Scottsman and set in London so why not?
Here is a link to the Big Finish Jekyll and Hyde page - https://www.bigfinish.com/releases/v/jekyll-and-hyde-1506

Loneliness is a Warm Gun
by Dwayne Bunney
This is a short story I originally started to write as a project for a creative writing evening class I was attending. At that time I had been quite obessed about the details surrounding the Port Arthur Massacre in 1996, and this story, in a way, was a result of my complete lack of comprehension of the crime.
I structured it deliberately in episodic form (3 parts), and when an opportunity came to pitch it to Big Finish, I inserted the characters of the 5th Doctor and Nyssa (who I swapped the original character "Mary" for). The Doctor Who version was never completed as a pitch only consists of a synopsis and 1 page of story.
But here is the original story without the Doctor Who elements. I hope you like it.
This also gives me the opportunity to change the title back to the name I originally intended, because when the text version was published, the publisher insisted on changing the name to Loneliness "OR" a Warm Gun. I was never happy with that. I'm big on story names and I had a very specific reason why I chose this one. Yes, I stole it from The Beatles.

Doctor Who - Perception Filter by Dwayne Bunney
Two siblings mourn the loss of their mother. But not because she was a good person. No one else sees her in the same way as they do. Until a little man in a book store coffee shop gives them the chance to discover the answer the question that can no longer be answered.
Who really was the monster that became their mother?
This is an unofficial story set in the Doctor Who universe and made for fun. It is not, nor will ever be monetized.

Lisa Bowerman's first foray into the Doctor Who was in 1989 as Kara in the final story of the original television run. It was in 1998 however, that she took on one of the "wilderness years" most iconic characters for Big Finish, Professor Bernice Summerfield.
Originally created for the Virgin New Adventures range by Paul Cornell, Benny was the character Big Finish turned to when their first attempt to acquire an official Doctor Who license from the BBC fell through.
It is our privilege to have Lisa with us for this edition of The Sirens of Audio to talk about taking on the role of Benny in those early days, how the character has lasted so long, and her other roles with Big Finish as actor and director for ranges such as The Companion Chronicles, The Early Years, The Lost Stories, Torchwood and Jago & Litefoot.
We also discuss some of the projects Lisa has been involved with outside Big Finish.
Thank you so much for a fascinating discussion Lisa!

Mark Cockram is our guest this time and he has chosen his favourite Big Finish audio, The Kingmaker, for review.
Mark is the host of the Nerdology podcast, a tranquil repose for Doctor Who podcasters wishing to take a break from the rigours of Doctor Who fandom. By listening to Nerdology you can enjoy such variations in pop culture as I, Claudius and The West Wing, and much, much more.
The Kingmaker is number #81 in the Big Finish monthly range and was released in early 2006. Written by Nev Fountain, it features the first appearance of the 4th Doctor in a Big Finish play, voiced by the incredibly talented Jon Culshaw.
We certainly went off on some tangents in this episode, even discussing the most popular documentary on Netflix at the moment, Tiger King.
Be sure to check the Strangers in Space podcast, which Mark has appeared on from time to time.
And we play the full version of The Mandolorian theme by Husky By The Geek, the musician behind the theme music we use for The Sirens of Audio.

The featured story for review this episode is Eldrad Must Die! by Marc Platt.
However, Dwayne starts out with a little rant after having seen the documentary "Showman - The Life of John Nathan-Turner" on the Season 26 Blu-ray box set.
The documentary included excerpts from the JNT Memoirs, released on Big Finish in 2002.
Opinionated fandom about stories and storytelling styles is one thing, but when it gets personal against a show runner, is attacking an individual as a human being really an acceptable way to express your opinion?
Our quick tip is The Lives of Captain Jack Volume 3, to be released later in March 2020.

Dwayne is joined by special guest Joe Lidster, writer of the focus story for this time, Doctor Who – The Reaping, starring Colin Baker and Nicola Bryant.
But first Dwayne explains the seeming contradiction in Who continuity with the recent season 12 TV episode “The Haunting of the Villa Diodati” featuring the 13th Doctor and “Mary’s Story”, the Big Finish audio featuring the 8th Doctor, both “seemingly” taking place at the same time with the same characters.
Many thanks to Joe for joining us for an in-depth discussion of his work, including:
Doctor Who - The Rapture
Doctor Who – The Reaping
Doctor Who – The Gathering
Sapphire & Steel – Daisy Chain
Sapphire & Steel – The Mystery of the Missing Hour…
