This week on Earth Station Who, the crew trades in the TARDIS for a foggy London streetlamp as we review the Big Finish audio adventure The Paternoster Gang: The Casebook of Paternoster Row—where the monsters are mysterious, the tea is probably poisoned. Someone always knows more than they’re saying.

Starring the unstoppable trio of Madame Vastra, Jenny Flint, and Strax, this collection of Victorian-era mysteries puts the Paternoster Gang front and center without the Doctor to spoil the investigation. From eerie cases to sharp banter (and the occasional explosive misunderstanding courtesy of Strax), we break down the stories, performances, and whether this audio box set delivers proper gothic chills, clever clues, and classic Big Finish fun.

This week on Earth Station Who, the crew heads back to the Fifth Doctor era to review “The Awakening,” a Doctor Who story that proves nothing good ever comes from ancient legends, spooky English villages, or people saying, “It’s only a myth.”

The Awakening mixes history, folklore, and alien mischief as fear itself becomes the ultimate weapon. We break down the story’s atmosphere, themes, and where it lands among Fifth Doctor adventures—plus whether Saxon curses are ever really a good idea.

We’re also excited to welcome back original Earth Station Who co-host Dave West, who bravely takes a seat in the Whovian Geek Seat. Will his Doctor Who knowledge save him… or will he be sacrificed to the ancient evil?
Expect thoughtful discussion, classic Who love, a few laughs, and plenty of timey-wimey fun as we revisit “The Awakening” on Earth Station Who—where legends never stay buried for long.
