A brand-new audio drama miniseries for the Eighth Doctor (Paul McGann) begins this November with The Eighth Doctor Adventures: New Pathways. This new series will feature six full-cast episodes across two box set releases, and is available to pre-order now from the Big Finish website.
Not long after the Eighth Doctor first regenerated, the TARDIS received a rather unusual call, one that has perplexed the Doctor for many years. Now, while travelling with faithful companion Alfie, can the Doctor finally get to the bottom of this mystery? And just who is Chase Moyo, and what new pathways will she take the TARDIS crew down?
Two new companions join the Doctor in this upcoming miniseries. The first is Alfie, played by Sam Stafford, who is from London in the mid-21st century. He’s a gentle giant with a heart of gold who has been travelling with the Doctor for some time when they encounter Matilda ‘Chase’ Moyo (played by Natalie Gumede). Chase is an adventure lover who, due to her career in the movie industry drying up, has moved back up north to a dull call centre job. She thinks her life is completely dull, that is, until the day her phone accidentally connected to the TARDIS.
Natalie Gumede and Sam Stafford.
