As part of today’s Doctor Who Day festivities, Big Finish has announced that it will celebrate 60 years of the iconic British sci-fi series next year with Doctor Who: Once and Future, an all-new eight-part audio drama featuring the return of Tom Baker, Peter Davison, Colin Baker, Sylvester McCoy, Paul McGann, Christopher Eccleston and David Tennant!
The official synopsis for Doctor Who: Once and Future reads:
The Time War. The Doctor has been injured and brought to a Time Lord field hospital. His body glows with energy, but this is no regeneration into a future form –instead, the Doctor’s past faces begin to appear as he flits haphazardly between incarnations…
Staggering to his TARDIS, the Doctor sets out to solve the mystery of his ‘degeneration’. Who has done this to him? How? And why? From the Earth to the stars, across an array of familiar times and places, he follows clues to retrace his steps, encountering old friends and enemies along the way. Tumbling through his lives, the Doctor must stop his degeneration before he loses himself completely…
“An astonishing array of talent has come aboard to be a part of this epic eight-hour anniversary story,” said producer David Richardson. “It’s a huge Doctor Who party and a massive celebration that has been years in the making.”
Doctor Who: Once and Future will be released monthly throughout the franchise’s 60th anniversary year, with the first seven parts materialising between May and October 2023 before the finale in November 2024.
