BIG FINISH
RRP £40 (CD), £35 (download)
Doom Coalition 3 begins with one of the most moving hours of drama Big Finish has ever produced. Absent Friends sees the Eighth Doctor and his companions Liv Chenka and Helen Sinclair arriving in a quiet English village in the late 1990s. A shifty telecoms company rolls into town and gifts free mobile phones to the residents to compensate for the huge eyesore of a mast they’ve built; but there’s a nasty cost to this free gift, when phone calls from dead loved ones start.
