The Paternoster Gang: The Casebook of Paternoster Row Review | Doctor Who | Earth Station Who

About this episode

The episode reviews the Big Finish audio adventure featuring the Paternoster Gang in Victorian-era mysteries.

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. So straighten your cravat, mind the suspicious shadows, and join us as we crack open The Casebook of Paternoster Row to see if the Paternoster Gang still has what it takes to keep Victorian London safe—one bizarre case at a time. 3 Grog Night https://www.youtube.com/@3GrogNight Time Stamp 0:00:00 Show Opening 0:06:02 The Paternoster Gang: The Casebook of Paternoster Row 0:48:50 Show Close If you'd like to leave feedback or a comment, feel…
