David Tennant & Catherine Tate return for 3 new audio adventures!

David Tennant and Catherine Tate reprise their roles in Doctor Who for three more audio adventures throughout time and space in The Tenth Doctor Adventures Volume 3. And they’re taking the family with them...

Jacqueline King will return as Sylvia Noble, Donna’s mother and, returning to Big Finish after an eleven-year absence, Bernard Cribbins will reprise his role as Wilfred Mott, Donna’s grandfather.

The Doctor and Donna will be back in action, with three new audio adventures coming May 2019.

3.1 No Place by James Goss

It's Haunted Makeovers! The home improvement show with a spooky twist.

The Noble family are hoping to cast out a few spirits along with the old bathroom suite, as presenter Justin joins Donna, Wilf, Sylvia and the Doctor for the latest edition of his reality TV series.

Of course, Justin knows that any supernatural phenomena can be faked. Ghosts can't possibly be real.

Can they..?


3.2 One Mile Down by Jenny T Colgan

Donna and the Doctor take a holiday - in the beautiful underwater city of Vallarasee.

Things have changed since the Doctor last swam through it: Vallarasee is now enclosed inside an airdome. Judoon patrol historic sites, and instead of tourists wearing helmets to breathe, the native Fins are forced to adapt.

But leaks have begun to trickle into the dome, and the Doctor and Donna must convince the Judoon that disaster is imminent. Or else thousands will be trapped, as the waters rise...


3.3 The Creeping Death by Roy Gill

London, 1952, and a deadly smog envelops the capital. But something even more dangerous - and alien - is hiding within the mists.

When the Doctor and Donna get lost in the fog, they find a motley group of Londoners trying to make their way home.

Soon the stakes are raised, as death creeps along fume-choked streets, and not everyone will make it out alive....


Out for release in May 2019, we’ll pop back into history where menacing threats lurk in 1950s London’s smog in an entrancing tale by Roy Gill, we’ll explore dangerous underwater worlds with the Judoon in a thriller by Jenny T Colgan, and James Goss takes the Doctor, Donna and family on their most treacherous journey yet... into the horrifying world of reality television!

Jacqueline King who plays Donna’s mother, the incomparable Sylvia Noble, told us about returning to the role: "Doctor Who has been the gift that keeps on giving. I started, believing I was to appear in one Christmas episode, then was thrilled to appear in more. I recently returned to the role with Big Finish and it was like putting a cherished old sweater back on. That old sweater will have to be washed and conditioned ready for this episode with the A team back in full. Can’t believe my luck. I’m guessing it might actually feel a bit emotional."

"Three box sets in and my excitement about working on The Tenth Doctor Adventures is as strong as ever," says producer David Richardson. "When we first started thinking about this new set of stories, I emailed Russell T Davies to ask about including Sylvia. He suggested we should try for Wilf too – it had never occurred to me that we might be able to get Bernard Cribbins involved. But a call to Bernard’s agent revealed how delighted he was by the prospect, and there we had it – the Noble family together again, nine years after they last appeared on TV."

Doctor Who – The Tenth Doctor Adventures Volume Three (Limited Edition) is available now for pre-order. A five-disc collector’s edition – limited to 5,000 copies – is available on CD in deluxe bookset packaging for a pre-release price of £35, with the download version for £25.

Included with the limited edition CD release, Doctor Who and Blake’s 7 costume designer June Hudson has created costume designs for the creatures and aliens, and writer and SFX specialist Mike Tucker has created storyboards for the new stories. With behind-the-scenes interviews from some of the cast and crew as well, this limited edition makes for an unmissable audio package.

The three episodes, No Place, One Mile Down and The Creeping Death can also be bought individually for £8.99 on download and £10.99 on CD. Or you can buy all three together in a bundle for £22 on download and £25 on CD.

We also have some special offers on the other stories in The Tenth Doctor Adventures.

Go to URL https://www.bigfinish.com/offers/v/tendigital and enter access code DONNA to get these special offers. These offers expire at 23:59 (UK time) on October 12th, so don’t miss out.

You can get the three stories from The Tenth Doctor Adventures Volume One with the Doctor and Donna individually at £5 on download, or collected together with additional extras at £25 on download.

David Tennant Joins Emily Watson in Psychological Thriller ‘Quicksand’

Oh, now...the UK isn't that scary.

Yeah they're evil beasties

Hear, hear! In the spirit of our approach to Halloween I've been watching scary movies. Last night I was watching Invasion of the Body Snatchers and right next to me is my computer desk and in my peripheral vision I think I see something move near my keyboard. I moved it to one side and right there was this spider with leg lengths about half that of my pinkie finger! I didn't give it half a chance. My apologies to those people out there that do like spiders.

[BruTak]

Which Invasion did you watch? The original B&W version, the 70s one with Donald Sutherland, or the 90s TV mini series (which wasn't very good).

I watched the '78 version. The scene with the "dog" always freaks me out.
