‘Tales From The TARDIS’ Review – ‘Freedom’

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

In this instalment of my latest Easter review season on ‘Bradley’s Basement’, we’re checking out the seventh story in the ‘Tales From The TARDIS: Volume One’ collection of ‘Doctor Who’ audio stories. It’s time for ‘Freedom’ by Steve Lyons, featuring the Third Doctor, Jo, the Brigadier, Sergeant Benton, U.N.I.T. and the Master, as played by Roger Delgado. The story is read by Nicholas Courtney and Sophie Aldred. As well as the seventh story in the ‘Tales From The TARDIS: Volume One’ collection, it’s the first story in the ‘Short Trips’ audio anthology produced by the BBC. It’s also the sixth story in the ‘Short Trips’ 1998 book collection by the BBC, which I reviewed in my ‘Nyssa Challenge’ mini-review season for Easter from March to April 2024.
