Reviews

“Purity Unleashed contains two of the highest points of this arc, while all three stories thematically fit with the commentary on bigotry and what it and bias can do to apparently normal people, done all without including new companion Hebe Harrison. While the arc has no end in sight there is a clear advancement with material highlighting Baker, Langford, and Stubbs’ strengths as actors and even the first story being essentially “filler” still thematically explores the rise of fascism and the role bigotry has to play in that. 7.5/10.” Indie Mac User

“With Doctor Who: The Sixth Doctor Adventures: Purity Unleashed, Big Finish continues to impress with their ability to craft compelling narratives. With exceptional writing, performances, direction and sound design, this drama is a must-listen for all fans of Doctor Who.” The Bad Wilf Podcast

“Purity Unleashed is a great continuation of the story ... in terms of an interesting long-form story that ideologically tests the sixth Doctor. A really strong continuation, I love what it's going for and I want this story to continue sooner rather than later.” Mr TARDIS

Synopsis

Marine biologist Hebe Harrison has vanished from the timelines and the Doctor and Mel must find a way of getting their new friend back! But little do they realise what perils lie ahead - or who stands against them...

2.1 Broadway Belongs to Me! by Matthew Sweet

The Doctor and Mel begin their search for Hebe in 1930s New York, where history is taking a dark turn all of its own. On Broadway, they discover a genuine aberration of the timestreams: Behold America! - a hot shoe show set in a future Fascist United States. Starring Melanie Bush. Opening tonight...

2.2 Purification by Chris Chapman

The Doctor and Mel follow the trail to a port in New Zealand, 1910. A ship is being prepared for a journey to Antarctica and the Doctor realises that this is Captain Scott's Terra Nova expedition. But this is merely the beginning of an intricate scheme to rewrite the future of humanity.

2.3 Time-Burst by Ian Potter

Tracking the anomaly that erased Hebe from history, the Doctor and Mel find an instability in Sheffield, 1864. Who is Mrs Virtue, the mysterious owner of the new steelworks? And can the Doctor untwist history before a natural disaster washes them all away...?
