Doctor Who - Philip Hinchcliffe Presents Box Set Synopsis


Big Finish has released the details of the return to Doctor Who by popular producer Philip Hinchcliffe.  The Philip Hinchcliffe era is one of the best if not the best era in Doctor Who's history as he oversaw such stories like The Talons of Weng - Chiang, The Deadly Assasssin, Terror of the Zygons and Robots of Death.  This box set should herald that same type of style and should be a good one to listen to when it is released in September.  You can pre order it from the Big Finish website.

The Devil's Armada (Four episodes)
The TARDIS lands in Sissenden Village in the sixteenth century. Catholic priests are hunted, so-called witches are drowned in the ducking stool, and in the shadows the Vituperon are watching… and waiting…
