I can unequivocally say that one of my favorite things about Big Finish is that it allows the “what if” questions to be explored in a way that the television series doesn’t take frequent advantage of. For example, as it oft happens, a person’s favourite Doctor may be completely unlinked with their favourite companion.

It’s no secret that I fall in the Eleventh Doctor camp; it may be news to you, dear readers, that my favourite companion is Rose Tyler. The 50th notwithstanding, I’d have loved to see the two of them interact on screen. Maybe someday, should Big Finish take on more modern Who. However, if your fantasy team up scenario features the Seventh Doctor and Jo Grant (a top 5 personal companion for me, by the way!) then you’ll want to take a closer look at April’s main range release, Doctor Who: The Defectors!

The Defectors finds Jo meeting the McCoy Doctor and here’s an idea of what to expect:

“Jo Grant is shocked to find most of her colleagues are missing. Then she discovers that the Doctor has inexplicably changed. But there’s little time to worry about it all, as she and her misplaced Time Lord friend are whisked to the mysterious Delphin Isle on a matter of national security. There, they encounter a disturbingly odd form of local hospitality and learn of a highly classified incident that took place during the Cold War. Why exactly have they been brought here? And what is the truth concerning the bodies in the harbour and the vast project being undertaken under a cloak of secrecy?”

Big Finish has also released a trailer to whet the appetite and it appears to be shaping up as a fantastic adventure! Doctor Who: The Defectors is available for preorder now. What do you think, fellow Kasterborites? Is this interesting coupling of interest to you? Will you be picking up the release? Let us know!
