Devious Episode 3 - Halfway to Oblivion: www.youtube.com/watch?v=qilsIwK0ntwReleased on April 4 2022, almost eighteen months after the release of the previous episode. Took me aback on seeing Anneke Wills briefly as Polly Enthralling on seeing the building of Daleks, quite Power of the Daleks this. Also interesting seeing a colourised clip of The War Games when the Second Doctor was on trial by the Time Lords being incorporated here. Surprising on the betrayal here which plays its part to the cliffhanger.

Untold Adventures: The Tenth Hour: www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDglos8ob5c Whilst David Tennant had departed as the Tenth Doctor at the end (no pun intended) of The End of Time he had considered to stay on for one more year in Steven Moffat's first season as showrunner. Moffat had always intended to introduced Amy Pond in his first season as showrunner meaning that if Tennant had stayed for that season it would have been 10 that Amy had met as the Doctor. The Tenth Hour therefore tells that story of Amy meeting 10 with the title being a reflection of it being with the Tenth Doctor as opposed to The Eleventh Hour being the Eleventh Doctor's full debut. As stated in The Tenth Hour this was written by Moffat and rewritten by Aiden Caulfield. The Doctor is played by Jack Reeves and (the grown up) Amy by Alia E. Torrie. The Tenth Hour plays more or less like The Eleventh Hour only with 10 in it with some differences like 10's reaction to apples being different to 11 and doesn't change clothes which is something a new Doctor would do and The Tenth Hour is just as enjoyable as The Eleventh Hour.. I was very surprised Alia E. Torrie as Amy stating the Atraxi incident was two years before being slightly different to how it was delivered by Karen as Amy in The Eleventh Hour.

The Ark (Big Finish): Not to be confused with the First Doctor TV story of the same name, this The Ark, which is part of Big Finish's The Lost Stories range is the original version of the TV story that would become The Ark In Space featuring the Fourth Doctor, Sarah and Harry. The original story was by John Lucarotti who did not receive a screen-credit for The Ark In Space as it became a substantially different story to the one presented by Lucarrotti. Released in June 2023 and adapted by Jonathan Morris. Essential elements from the original story that made it into The Ark In Space is that of a space station, that of bodies which cryogenically frozen and a character called Noah. There is no Wirrn here as that was the invention of The Ark In Space writer Robert Holmes. Instead this has a creature that is being described as a ravenous puffball. Overall a pretty enjoyable that in many ways which is different and similar to the transmitted The Ark In Space. There is one moment of Harry being drifted into space and that was a harrowing moment to listen to.

Once and Future: The Artist at the End of Time: The Artist at the End of Time is the second episode of Once and Future, Big Finish's 60th Anniversary series. Released in June 2023 and written by James Goss. Once and Future has the Doctor experiencing degeneration and The Artist at the End of Time mainly features Fifth Doctor Peter Davison. Davison is joined here by his real-life daughter Georgia Tennant as Jenny, the Doctor's Daughter and Colin Baker not exactly as the Sixth Doctor but as the Curator. The Curator was first introduced in The Day of the Doctor when he was played by Tom Baker and implied to be a future Doctor revisitng a past face. The said father and daughter had played alongside each other before as their characters in Relative Time, an episode of Legacy of Time in 2019. Long before Jenny, Georgia had first worked with her father on Big Finish as a different character in the Fifth Doctor story Red Dawn. The Fifth Doctor who meets up with Jenny again and looks into artwork of worlds and these worlds are destroyed after they became the subject of said artworks. They eventually find the artist refer to the episode title and that artist is the Curator. Davison and Tennant displayed very well their real-life familial relationship in the portrayal of their characters* and Colin Baker provides a sincere performance as the Curator and the three of them makes up a good core cast of this episode. ,Other than that I found very little to enjoy about this episode as I felt it was dull, gloomy and flat.
*I should note that I haven't listened to Relative Time while Red Dawn does not have them playing father and daughter.

Written by Steve Parkhouse with art by Mike McMahon and Adolfo Buylla. This is a fan-made presentation of the story. The said Junk-Yard Demon is a Cyberman. Interesting development that goes on with this Junk-Yard Demon and how it can still be dangerous in this state that it is in. Incidentally the term Cybernaut comes up here which immediately think of the Cybernauts from The Avengers.

Doctor Who and the Dogs of Doom: www.youtube.com/watch?v=kE32vzXxk9c Doctor Who and the Dogs of Doom is a comic strip story in Doctor Who Weekly issues 27 to 34 in April to May 1980. Featuring the Fourth Doctor, Sharon and K9. Written by John Wagner and Pat Mills with art by Dave Gibbons. This is a fan-made presentation of the story. Curiously among the music used here is one from Space 1999. Fascinating story of the Doctor, Sharon and K9 coming aboard a cargo hauler when it got attacked by the Werelox which are wolf-life creatures. Things became harrowing when the Doctor gets bitten by a Werelox and becomes one of them. Add to all these troubles comes the Daleks. It then becomes a joyride of an adventure with the Doctor having to battle both the Werelox and Daleks.
