I’ve always rather liked the character of Ian (William Russell). He seemed to have a good head on his shoulders and was more than willing to call out the First Doctor when needed. His relationship with Barbra was fascinating and wonderful to see and the way he acted toward Susan was just about pitch-perfect. He really did set a very high standard for subsequent companions of both genders.
He gets a story all to himself in “The Time Museum,” Big Finish’s latest story in their companion chronicles line and the first title in season seven. It tells the story of Ian waking up in an odd museum; one which appears to be dedicated to him. The only other person there is a man named Pendolin (Phillip Poe), and it seems that he’s the one running the museum.

This, more than most Companion Chronicles stories, is very much a “your mileage may vary” kind of story. Mostly it varies based on how much you liked the character of Mike Yates (Richard Franklin) from the Third Doctor’s time at Unit. If you liked him a lot, you’ll probably really enjoy this story. If not…well…
The story concerns mysterious symbols appearing in different places around the country. The Doctor figures out that they are alien characters, and not long after, a mysterious alien woman (Felicity Duncan) arrives. She then begins handing out mysterious alien rings, the Doctor mysteriously disappears and before long, the Brigadier and the rest of Unit are acting very mysteriously. If you’re getting the idea that there’s a lot that’s quite mysterious in this story, you’re on the right track.
Mike Yates doesn’t get a ring,...
