Free download of All-Consuming Fire Part 1 with the code 221b: www.bigfinish.com/offers/v/allconsumingfireThis is an adaptation of the New Adventures novel of the same name in which the Seventh Doctor meets Sherlock Holmes. Although Holmes and Watson are portrayed by Nick Briggs and Richard Earl respectively who also played them in Big Finish's own Sherlock Holmes range, the adaptation of All-Consuming Fire is not design as a crossover between Big Finish's Doctor Who and Sherlock Holmes ranges.

Listened to the whole story.
This has the Doctor, in this case the Seventh, with companions Ace and Benny meet Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson. This is not only a meeting between the Doctor and Sherlock Holmes as established by the original novel but a crossover between Big Finish's Doctor Who and Sherlock Holmes ranges. This is because Holmes and Watson here are played by Nicholas Briggs and Richard Earl respectively who had preexistingly played them in the said Big Finish Sherlock Holmes range. They also previously played them on stage. Incidentally this was released on my birthday on December 9 2015. The Doctor and Holmes and their cohorts join forces when books from Library of St. John the Beheaded got stolen. These are not ordinary books as it is dangerous in all of creation. The villains in this is revealed to be the Azazoth and Sherlock's own brother Sherringford (Hugh Fraser). A very haunting and superb crossover between Doctor Who and Sherlock Holmes and what a resolution that it delivers. Somewhat haunting the coda to this that came afterwards.
Interesting the interviews that accompanied this including Nick Briggs saying about playing Sherlock Holmes prior to this crossover. Also with the interviewees saying what icons the Doctor and Sherlock Holmes have become.
