10 Best Doctor Who Big Finish Releases
8. Colditz
Now, granted, with a title referring to a Nazi prisoner of war camp, this Seventh Doctor adventure is not going to be the most light-hearted of tales. However, this is a powerful story highlighting character relationships and varying points of view. The script succeeds as one of Big Finish’s most notable historical science fiction adventures.
It is also worth noting this story features David Tennant as a Nazi officer, four years before becoming the Tenth Doctor. Also, this is the first story featuring Elizabeth Klein, an intriguing character who has returned many times in Big Finish adventures.
This release is notable for showing how dark Seventh Doctor stories could go. Darkness in Seventh Doctor stories was not uncommon, 'Ghostlight' and 'The Curse of Fenric' are notable examples, but Big Finish excels at showing off the darker nature of this incarnations personality and adventures.
