The story can be found as part of The Churchill Years Volume 1) '... intoxicating, rip roaring... Exquisitely written and featuring a perfect blend of pace and plot... a scene stealing, star performance by Ian McNeice... Tally ho!' Tim Mass Movement 'Overall, The Churchill Years was a brilliant surprise... The quality of the story writing was superb... the performances were incredibly solid, most particularly from Ian McNeice who is still the go to man for playing a credible Churchill. If there are many more of these kinds of adventures to come, then Churchill can KBO through Big Finish for as long as he wants. 9/10.' Starburst 1. The Oncoming Storm by Phil Mulryne Late 1939. Britain faces the might of Germany. Winston Churchill serves as First Lord of the Admiralty. But Churchill soon finds himself facing a more immediate threat than the looming Nazi menace. A ‘Stone’ with the most mysterious properties is discovered in the Thames’ sands, and soon oddly spoken soldiers are creeping round London ruthlessly trying to acquire it. Who are they? Can Churchill and his new secretary Hetty Warner defeat them? And what about the man in the battered leather jacket that Hetty meets? Churchill feels sure they can rely on the Doctor to help them! Except that this Doctor seems to want to stay hidden in the shadows…

Oncoming Storm turned out to be the most positive surprise from Vol 1 and my second favourite story of the boxset there are scenes in it where can picture them as if Ecclestone was actually speaking the lines.
