Scattered through time and space, many women have crossed paths with the Doctor. Some were fellow TARDIS travellers, some were allies defending the Earth, and one was the Doctor’s daughter...

Reviews

Although all different in tone, these are three entertaining tales. Stolen Futures has the feel of a Romana-focussed The Companions of Doctor Who novel, while Prism is more like a holiday special, bringing two heroes together as a one-off. For us however, it’s The Turn of the Tides which impresses the most: Rani fills the shoes of a young Sarah Jane Smith admirably and there’s boundless potential in pairing her with the seasoned explorer Jo. Jac feels like a character with further potential to explore too. We will gladly take some more adventures with this trio!
Cultbox

The Eighth of March: Protectors of Time is perhaps best summarised as an anthology where each episode has a different strength... It’s a wonderful celebration of its characters and has a great diversity of ideas to sell the set on for a wide range of people. 7/10.

What’s great about Big Finish’s anthologies is they expose you to ranges you might never have tried otherwise. The highest compliment I can pay Abigail Burdess’ story Prism is that it immediately made me want to look up other volumes of Jenny: The Doctor’s Daughter and Lady Christina.

The second Eighth of March boxset is a bright and shiny thing, such as would catch the eye of Lady Christina. It shows women in a handful of corners of the universe being powerful, self-determining, compassionate, clever, collaborative, caring and cool. It also tells some seriously good science-fiction stories with enormous gusto, and one ecological story with a never-ending hope. The Eight Of March 2: Protectors of Time is a feelgood collection of empowering stories that will leave you wanting more of everything it gives.
