Big Finish has only just released the first episode in a new 12-part bi-monthly Doctor Who series for the Ninth Doctor and Rose Tyler, but now they are releasing details on the second episode, The Last Days of the Powell Estate. This upcoming episode takes us to the mid-2030s for another exciting adventure on the Powell Estate.
In this second story, the Ninth Doctor and Rose Tyler arrive at the Powell Estate in 2036, but Rose’s home in the future is far from the one she remembers. The estate lies abandoned; no Londoner dares set foot in there, not even the homeless seek shelter due to the existence of a terrifying figure, Mr Fingers. However, help is on hand from Rose’s mum Jackie and Jackie’s friend Brainy Betty.
When the Doctor and Rose team up with Ellis Coates, an urban explorer and influencer, the three set about finding out who the sinister Mr Fingers is and what he is doing in the once lively estate.
A host of talent joins Christopher Eccleston and Billie Piper in this upcoming story, including Camille Coduri, who reprises her role as Jackie, Harki Bhambra as Ellis Coates, and Mandi Symonds as Betty.
Writer Timothy X Atack said: “I have this deep love of Doctor Who’s more eldritch, Lovecraftian villains, especially when you end up not really knowing any more about them at the end than at the beginning. Sometimes you just want something that hates, and that’s what Mr Fingers is. He despises life.”
Doctor Who – The Ninth Doctor Adventures: The Last Days of the Powell Estate is now available to pre-order for £9.99 for the download or £11.99 for the limited Collector’s Edition CD.
