Doctor Who: Fanfare for the Common Man (Big Finish) (Limited purple vinyl edition)
Starring Peter Davison & Sarah Sutton.
Standing with Nyssa at the airport the Doctor is waiting to see the biggest British band in the sixties. A world wide phenomenon and then off the aeroplane step...the Fabulous Three known to everyone as...... The Common Men.....?
As the Doctor (played by Peter Davison) tries to figure out what is going on a mysterious figure with a gun appears in the crowd and tries to shoot at the band. He's stopped by the Doctor but only just and as the potential assassin disappears (literally) from sight taking young Nyssa with him.
History has been changed. The Beatles have been replaced and National Service continues disrupting the youth scene. Exactly what is going on just who is responsible?
And where has Nyssa gone? The adventure is on!
This special limited edition vinyl release is not a new story having previously appeared on CD back in 2013 as part of Big Finish's range of Doctor Who audio adventures. This edition was limited to just 1,000 copies via Asda.
I originally failed to grab a copy from my nearest participating store however somehow my girlfriend managed to get a copy for my recent birthday. There are copies at higher prices available on e-bay from poeple who grabbed a copy for the wrong reason, to make money out of fans but this is still availble as a CD if you like the sound of the story.
Is it any good. Hell Yes!
I've just got around to listening to it and it is certainly one of Big Finish's best! If you want to grab a copy of this and their other releases (I've been collecting these on/off for years and they are well worth the price of entry).
CD Available here: www.bigfinish.com
Two new CD's arrived this morning and I'll review in due course. Watch this space!
