Kaleidoscope is honestly a treat from Big Finish Productions... Fans of 1970s television will get a lot of homages in the middle episodes... It’s another shot towards showing why longer Doctor Who stories work and some of what Big Finish does at its best. 9/10.

Indie Mac User

Kaleidoscope is a great example of recreating 70s Doctor Who successfully. While the titular character serves his purpose, it is the cold war aspect, the dark mirrors to Sarah and the Brigadier and the surprise origin story for Harry Sullivan that really work here. Like The Annihilators, it shows that six or seven-part stories work best for The Third Doctor era – long may they continue!

We Made This

Kaleidoscope is a storytelling triumph, packed with storylines and characters, and yet remaining easy to follow and coherent throughout. The acting is on point, every character is well-served by Alan Barnes‘ script and the story goes into some unexpected but very interesting territory. Were it not for a slightly less interesting second act, this story could have received five stars, but as it stands it’s still one of the strongest releases Big Finish have put out this year. Highly recommended. 4.5/5

Who-Review

It’s great that The Third Doctor Adventures are stretching their format and embracing longer stories like Kaleidoscope... With Tim Treloar’s winning performance as the Doctor, Sadie Miller’s remarkable Sarah and Jon Culshaw’s redoubtable Brigadier, long may they continue.

This is beyond homage, it's actual Doctor Who. A six-part story... an absolute gem of a Big Finish production.
