To celebrate 20 years of Doctor Who returning to our screens, Big Finish Productions will be releasing a collection of adventures on 21st November. Doctor Who: Anniversary – A 2005-2025 Doctors Collection stars all the NuWho Doctors, in a selection of stories from the new Who ranges.
This collection will have a little something for every fan, with full-cast audio adventures starring Christopher Eccleston, David Tennant, Jodie Whittaker, Jo Martin, and Sir John Hurt, and narrated stories featuring the Eleventh and Twelfth Doctors. There are seven exciting adventures for the Doctor included in the collection:
The Ninth Doctor Adventures: Sphere of Freedom by Nicholas Briggs takes listeners to the Sphere of Freedom, where the Doctor is about to shut down an evil Immersive Games empire. Assisted by a galley chef named Nova, the Doctor’s plan fails, and he’s left wondering who Audrey is.
In The Tenth Doctor Adventures: Infamy of the Zaross by John Dorney, Jackie Tyler takes a trip to visit her old friend Marge in Norwich, but when an alien invasion happens, she calls the Doctor and Rose for help. It’s not long before the Doctor uncovers one of the most heinous crimes in the history of the galaxy, and if he can’t stop it, the infamous Zaross are going to cause a lot of deaths.
Moving on to the Eleventh Doctor Chronicles, the Doctor and Amy answer a cry for help in The Calendar Man by AK Benedict. This adventure takes the Doctor and Amy to a misty colony world where a woman in the shadows is noticing everything out of the ordinary. When people start to go missing, Amy goes searching for them, and the Doctor strides out into the fog to search for fairy-tales. The duo need to be quick, as the Calendar Man is flicking through the pages of their lives, and time is running out.
In The Twelfth Doctor Chronicles: Field Trip by Una McCormack, the Doctor calls on Osgood for her help in stopping an invasion. The offer of a flight in the TARDIS is too good for Osgood to refuse so jumps at this rare opportunity. However, what begins as a fact-finding mission soon develops into something much more dangerous.
The Thirteenth Doctor Adventures: Vampire Weekend by Tim Foley sees Yasmin Khan and the Doctor attend a friend’s Hen-do in a large manor in the Peak District. Not one for social events, the Doctor is soon pre-occupied by the arrival of an ancient enemy.
There’s tragedy in The War Doctor: The Innocent by Nicholas Briggs when Arch-manipulator and Time Lord strategist Cardinal Ollistra receives the shocking news that the Doctor has died. Meanwhile, the peaceful planet of Keska has become plagued by war, but what is its connection to the great Time War? If the Doctor was still alive he could do something about it.
Finally, in The Fugitive Doctor: Fast Times by Robert Valentine, the mysterious Division have tried to arrest the Doctor but failed. When she is later captured by bounty hunters aboard a maximum-security hulk ship, she learns she has to move very fast if she wants to keep her freedom.
Doctor Who: Anniversary – A 2005-2025 Doctors Collection is available to pre-order from the Big Finish website for £39.99 and will release later this month.
