Doctor Who: Doom Coalition 2: Beachhead tenth anniversary

March 3 2026 marks ten years since the release of Doom Coalition 2 from Big Finish.

Featuring the Eighth Doctor.

Doom Coalition 2 consists of four episodes, the first of which is Beachhead.

Also featuring Liv and Helen.

Written by Nick Briggs.

The Doctor takes Liv and Helen on a holiday and this sees them arriving in 2017 Stegmoor.

As indicated in the episode title this features a beach where an alien, as it turns out a Voord, is found.

The Voord, Scout-Ship Commander Ishtek intends for a beachhead to set a Voord invasion.

This comes as one of the local residents Phillipa Gregson has a history with the Doctor.

This relates to an untold story with the Third Doctor, Liz and UNIT the aftermath of which resulted in the early death of Mrs Gregson's husband.

Even with a different face in the Eighth Doctor, Phillipa Gregson isn't pleased with the Doctor being back here after all this time.

Overall I had found this an enjoyable way to start Doom Coalition 2 with the Doctor having to

fend off a Voord invasion and Mrs Gregson's hostile feelings towards him.

Ishtek revealed that her homeworld has been destroyed even though the Doctor says that the Voord homeworld isn't destroyed, a mystery that is yet to be answered.
