Hello everyone! 🙂

Welcome to ‘Bradley’s Basement’ blog and I’m Tim Bradley!

Before we return to the Big Finish audio world tomorrow, let’s uncover today’s instalment of ‘The Nyssa Challenge’ mini-review season for December 2024 to January 2025 by checking out the BBC Audio Originals story of ‘Doctor Who’ called ‘Dark Contract’ by Will Hadcroft. The story features the Fifth Doctor, Nyssa, Tegan and Adric and is a 70-minute audio episode. ‘Dark Contract’ is read by Matthew Waterhouse, who plays Adric in the TV series and the Big Finish audios.

I don’t usually check out the BBC Audio Originals stories of ‘Doctor Who’ very much, so it was nice to hear this one featuring the Fifth Doctor, Nyssa, Tegan and Adric TARDIS team from Season 19 of the classic TV series. It’s also good this story is set in Dickensian London, as our heroes deal with some deadly aliens offering deadly contracts to the people of 19th century London, which causes their life-force to be absorbed. Will our heroes sort this crisis? Does ‘Dark Contract’ work as a single audio episode by the BBC?

Enjoy! 🙂

Stay tuned tomorrow for my brand-new review on the Big Finish audio story ‘The Great Beyond’, starring Peter Davison as the Fifth Doctor, Sarah Sutton as Nyssa, Janet Fielding as Tegan and Matthew Waterhouse as Adric.

Bye for now!
