The Fifth Doctor and Turlough

With Tegan gone, there are a handful of “just Turlough” stories, sandwiched between “Resurrection” and “Planet of Fire.” A couple of these are some of the earliest Big Finish stories, because Mark Strickson was one of the only companion actors available at the time, but there aren’t a ton of them, because he lives in New Zealand, and travels the world making nature documentaries. They all seem a little bit awkward, because Turlough never really had a taste for adventure, so the stories seem to involve the Doctor dragging an unwilling Turlough into the plot.
