Review by C.J. Bunce
Some of the best Doctor Who stories can actually be found outside the television series. Take for example the hundreds of audio books from Big Finish. In what other franchise can you find spin-off dramas featuring the very stars of the franchise, as well as other award-winning actors?

It’s at comic shops tomorrow. Of course, that’s Wolf as in Bad Wolf. Straight out of the gates we encounter David Tennant’s alternate 11th Doctor with Rose Tyler. Better yet, the story crosses beams with the least utilized of all, Paul McGann’s fantastic eighth Doctor, (celebrating the 25th anniversary of his first appearance) plus Matt Smith’s popular 12th Doctor. And an army of short, angry potatoes with guns. And a Fez. Oh, yes, there is much fun to be found here.
