      Tom Baker and David Tennant are Out of Time
      26 May 2020
      Tom Baker and David Tennant both star in a new, full-cast multi-Doctor audio adventure, the first of a trilogy (each of which will feature a different pair of Doctors).

      https://www.bigfinish.com/news/v/tom...re-out-of-time


      Two past incarnations of the Doctor unite outside of time and space to fight a common enemy – their oldest enemy – in the first of an explosive new full-cast audio drama series.

      Due for release in August 2020, the first volume of Doctor Who: Out of Time sees the Fourth Doctor (Tom Baker) and the Tenth Doctor (David Tennant) team up to outwit the Daleks (Nicholas Briggs).

      Doctor Who: Out of Time is now available to pre-order as a collector’s edition CD (for just £10.99) or a digital download (for just £8.99) HERE.

      The Cathedral of Contemplation is an enigma, existing outside time. It turns through history, opening its doors across the universe to offer solace to those in need.

      Occasionally, the Doctor drops in – when he's avoiding his destiny, it’s an ideal place to get some perspective. Only, he's already there several lives earlier, so when dimension barriers break down, his past and present collide.

      And when the Daleks invade and commandeer the Cathedral, two Doctors must unite to stop them – or face extermination twice over!


      Of being a boyhood Doctor Who fan, actor David Tennant said:
      Tom Baker was obviously the first Doctor that I knew. I was small when he took over and I grew up through the seven years that he was the Doctor. I was a massive fan. I met him in John Menzies in Glasgow and he signed my book. I had a doll of him. All that. Tom Baker was very much the Doctor. There is something about the way he is associated with the character that seems utterly timeless.”


      Writer Matt Fitton said:
      “Of course it was hugely exciting - with a certain amount of pressure too - to bring together two of the most iconic Doctors, cemented in the public imagination from new and classic TV eras of Doctor Who. I thought putting them up against the Daleks - the Doctor's most persistent enemy - would bring out all the ways in which they are at once the same Time Lord - and also very different versions too. We find them both at particular points in their lives. The Tenth Doctor is avoiding his destiny; and the Fourth Doctor is wandering alone, missing a friend - but even he may be shocked at what his future holds...”


      Producer David Richardson added:
      “As fans we’re fascinated by the idea of different incarnations of the Doctor meeting, and Out of Time celebrates that. It’s a series where pairs of Doctors come together to battle a familiar enemy - and we begin with Tom Baker and David Tennant battling Daleks together. How brilliant is that? And there’s lots of exciting combinations yet to come.”


      Doctor Who: Out of Time is now available to pre-order as a collector’s edition CD (for just £10.99) or a digital download (for just £8.99) HERE.

      Big Finish listeners can save money by pre-ordering the bundle, containing all three volumes in the forthcoming Doctor Who: Out of Time series, for just £27 (on CD) or £24 (on download).

      Please note that Big Finish is currently operating a digital-first release schedule. The mailout of collector’s edition CDs will be delayed, but all purchases of this release unlock a digital copy that can be immediately downloaded or played on the Big Finish app from the release date.

          'Time Lord Victorious' audio dramas announced!


          https://www.doctorwho.tv/news/?artic...s-audio-dramas

          Four more pieces of the Time Lord Victorious jigsaw are revealed - four audio dramas will be released by Big Finish Productions from October.

          Paul McGann leads a trilogy of exciting full-cast audio dramas, as the Eighth Doctor faces his old enemies, the Daleks. Plus, two Short Trips will accompany these adventures, featuring two incarnations of the Master narrated by Jon Culshaw.

          The Time Lord Victorious audio dramas are available to pre-order now, ahead of their release from October.


          He Kills Me, He Kills Me Not

          On the desert world of Atharna, the Doctor’s life is about to be changed forever.

          Looking to visit one of the Seven Hundred Wonders of the Universe, the Doctor is quickly embroiled in a web of deceit. Worse than that, this Wonder of the Universe is missing, leading the Doctor to encounter one of his most dangerous and duplicitous adversaries.

          The Doctor is about to meet Brian.

          You can pre-order He Kills Me, He Kills Me Not here


          The Enemy of My Enemy

          The people of Wrax are happy to begin peaceful negotiations with the Dalek Empire. The two species are preparing to engage in an alliance that will last throughout the ages.

          The only one who seems to object to this happy union is the Doctor. He knows that you can never trust the Daleks.

          But more than that, he knows that the Wraxians should never have existed...

          You can pre-order The Enemy of My Enemy here


          Mutually Assured Destruction

          The fallout of the great battle.

          Outnumbered and alone, on a Dalek time-ship careering through the vortex, the Doctor must use all his cunning to survive. As the saucer disintegrates around them, the Doctor is trapped with a crew of increasingly desperate Daleks.

          Or are the Daleks trapped with him?

          You can pre-order Mutually Assured Destruction here

          Story details for the two Time Lord Victorious Short Trips are as follows:


          Master Thief by Sophie Iles

          The Master wants to plunder one of the most secure vaults in the universe, the Repository. He’s got a plan, and a deadly new weapon to assist him. However, as the Master quickly discovers, getting in might be easy, but getting away with it might cost him everything.

          Lesser Evils by Simon Guerrier

          The Kotturuh have arrived on the planet Alexis to distribute the gift of the death to its inhabitants. The only person standing in their way is a renegade Time Lord, who has sworn to protect the locals. A Time Lord called the Master...

          You can pre-order the Short Trips here

          Speaking about all of the Time Lord Victorious audio dramas, Producer Alfie Shaw said:
          Time Lord Victorious has been a glorious delight to work on. James Goss’s vision is astounding, and it’s been such an honour to work with him to bring Big Finish’s part of the project to life.

          “We have three new authors writing this trilogy of adventures for the Eighth Doctor, pitting him against one of my new favourite characters in Doctor Who, Brian the Ood Assassin, as well old favourites, the Daleks. It all ties into the bigger Time Lord Victorious patchwork, but you can just listen to the Eighth Doctor trilogy and enjoy it on its own.”



          Time Lord Victorious will see partners including Penguin Random House, Doctor Who Magazine, Titan Comics, Big Finish Productions, Escape Hunt, Eaglemoss Hero Collector, Immersive Everywhere, Maze Theory, BBC Books, BBC Audio and Doctor Who Digital unite to tell an epic, brand-new Doctor Who story.

              Rory Williams is The Lone Centurion!
              12 June 2020

              https://www.bigfinish.com/news/v/brand-new-doctor-who-spin-off


              Companion of the Eleventh Doctor, husband of Amy Pond, and guardian of the Pandorica for nearly two thousand years, Rory returns in his own full-cast audio series from Big Finish.

              Legend tells of the Lone Centurion — a mysterious figure dressed as a Roman soldier who stood guard over the Pandorica, warning off those who would attempt to open it; a constant warrior whose story appeared in the folk history of a dozen civilisations.

              Only... he seems to have misplaced it.

              The Lone Centurion volumes one and two are now available to pre-order as collector’s edition three-disc box sets or downloads from just £16.99 each HERE.

              Arthur Darvill returns to reprise the character he first played on television in the 2010 Doctor Who story, The Eleventh Hour, in a brand new series of adventures taking Rory all over the world.

              The Lone Centurion volume one contains three super stories:

              Travelling to Rome in search of the Pandorica, Rory finds himself forced to perform as a gladiator in the Colosseum... where he attracts the attention of the Imperial household.

              Gladiator by David Llewellyn

              The Unwilling Assassin by Sarah Ward

              I, Rorius by Jacqueline Rayner

              Producer Scott Handcock said: “I’ve worked with Arthur on a few Big Finish projects before now, so I know first-hand how much he loves the audio medium. It’s one of the reasons we ended up doing Frankenstein together, where he gives an electric performance as Victor! It’s lovely when an actor wants to do more, but I knew he was nervous about revisiting Rory and upsetting established story arcs, which is how The Lone Centurion came about.

              “Set during the centuries he waits for the Pandorica to reopen, these stories allow us to explore new sides to the character while remaining true to his on-screen journey. As soon I started suggesting it to Arthur, I knew we were onto a winner...”

              Actor Arthur Darvill agreed: “It seemed like an offer I couldn’t refuse. As soon as I read the scripts, I was like, ‘Oh well, they totally get it, they’ve really nailed his voice’. It's been a lovely way to revisit it in a very different way to what it was, but to do something more with this character. It’s funny but also quite epic, which is so lovely with what you can do on audio: to have these huge stories which in another medium would break the budget!”

              The Lone Centurion volumes one and two are now available to pre-order as collector’s edition three-disc box sets or downloads from just £16.99 each HERE. Volume one is due for release in May 2021, with volume two to follow in July 2022.

              Big Finish listeners can save even more money by purchasing volumes one and two together in a bundle for just £38 on CD or £33 as a download HERE.

              Additionally, to celebrate the announcement of this historic new series, Big Finish is also holding a flash sale on the Arthur Darvill back catalogue.

                  World's Apart - Digital Trading Card Game
                  Thursday, 13 August 2020 - Reported by Marcus


                  https://www.doctorwhonews.net/2020/0...card_game.html


                  BBC Studios has partnered with Reality Gaming Group to create a brand new digital trading card game launching later this year.

                  The partnership will enable fans to collect and trade digital versions of their favourite characters for the first time, before adventuring through the Doctor Who: Worlds Apart game as the Doctor, battling friends in turn-based contests.

                  Each trading card a player collects will be tokenised into a non-fungible token (NFT) secured and protected on the blockchain, which means there can be no copies or disputes about ownership. Doctor Who: Worlds Apart players will own unique digital collectible items which can be used in the game or traded with other players.

                  As with physical trading cards, some will be rarer than others, and all will feature Doctors, companions, allies and enemies from across Doctor Who’s expansive history.

                  Limited edition packs containing five digital cards will be available for fans to buy from October 2020. Once these limited-edition cards have sold out, they will not be available to purchase again, except by trading with others.

                  The accompanying Doctor Who: Worlds Apart trading card game will be released for PC in 2021 with mobile to follow, allowing players to go head-to-head with their card collections. More cards will also be made available at launch.

                  UK-based publisher Reality Gaming Group’s Digital Asset Trading (DAT) Platform uses innovative blockchain technology to turn any IP into a rare and collectible digital asset that can be traded between fans using dedicated marketplaces. Its debut title, mobile AR combat game Reality Clash, was released in 2019 and pushed the boundaries of what’s possible when AR, VR, geo-location and blockchain technology are combined.

                  Tony Pearce, Co-Founder of Reality Gaming Group, said:
                  We are tremendously excited to be working with BBC Studios to bring Doctor Who’s huge global community an exciting new digital experience based on a pastime we all know and love – trading cards. The cards used in Doctor Who: Worlds Apart are both functional and collectible, so fans can actually own a piece of the game while they play.

                  John Kavanagh
                  , Licensing Manager, Gaming and Interactive, BBC Studios, said:
                  This is what BBC Studios does so well, exploring new technologies and bringing our most iconic brand to an area of the gaming industry which we’re sure will engage and thrill fans.

                        Daleks! is a 5x10 min animation and will feature a star-studded voiceover cast with Nicholas Briggs (voice of the Daleks in Doctor Who) Joe Sugg (YouTube, Strictly Come Dancing), Anjli Mohindra (Bodyguard, The Sarah Jane Adventure) andAyesha Antoine (Holby City).

                        Nicholas Briggs said:
                        This latest, fantastic, thrill-packed venture into the world of animation, with the Daleks as the stars of the show, is something so many of us have been craving for years. And for me it’s been a marvellous challenge, as usual playing every single Dalek in action, but with the added excitement of portraying some beautifully written, leading Dalek characters. It’s been a blast, and I can’t wait to see the finished production.

                        Joe Sugg
                        said:
                        I’m super excited and thankful to have been invited to play a role in this new animation. I’ve been a fan of Doctor Who from a young age so to be a part of it is a dream come true.

                        said:
                        When I saw that this series was about THOSE iconic villains I knew it was going to be one hell of a ride and I couldn’t wait to sign up!! I had so much fun being thrown into the wonderfully weird world of remote recording and so thrilled that I was able to be part of something that feel so special!

                        said:
                        I have never been more fascinated to see the final product of a show. To be a part of the animated story of these iconic baddies is really special. The recording session was a whole new adventure - another surreal moment to add to the growing list from 2020”.

                        Written by James Goss and created by Salford-based animators Studio Liddell, Daleks! is a BBC Studios Digital production.

                          Diana Rigg 1938 - 2020
                          Thursday, 10 September 2020 - Reported by Marcus

                          https://www.doctorwhonews.net/2020/0...1938_2020.html



                          The actress Dame Diana Rigg has died at the age of 82

                          During her long career, Diana Rigg had starring roles in The Avengers and Game of Thrones as well as appearing in the James Bond franchise.

                          She played Mrs Gillyflower in the 2013 story The Crimson Horror alongside Eleventh Doctor Matt Smith and her daughter Rachael Stirling. The episode had been specially written for her by Mark Gatiss who paid tribute to the actress.
                          It was my great joy and privilege to have known Diana Rigg. From three slightly hysterical months at the Old Vic in ‘All About Mother’ to writing The Crimson Horror for Diana and her wonderful daughter Rachael. Flinty, fearless, fabulous. There will never be another. RIP

                          Diana Rigg was born in Doncaster, then in the West Riding of Yorkshire. She grew up in India where her father worked on the Railways before returning to England for her education. She studied at the Royal Acadamy of Dramatic Art alongside the likes of Glenda Jackson and Siân Phillips.

                          Her first roles were on stage and for eight years she was a member of the Royal Shakespeare Company.

                          After small roles on Television, her big break came when she joined the 1960's adventure series The Avengers playing Emma Peel. She was not the first choice for the role replacing Elizabeth Shepherd after two episodes, but she made the role her own and stayed for 51 episodes. A dispute with the producers over pay equality with Patrick Macnee, the male star of the show, meant she left the series after two years.

                          Big Screen stardom came in 1969 playing Mrs James Bond opposite George Lazenby in the On Her Majesty's Secret Service

                          Many memorable TV appearances followed including playing Regan in a Granada Television production of King Lear opposite Laurence Olivier and playing Lady Dedlock in the BBC adaptation of Charles Dickens' Bleak House

                          In 1989 she played Helena Vesey in Mother Love for the BBC as role which gained her the 1990 BAFTA award for Best Television Actress.

                          In 2013 she joined Game of Thrones portraying Lady Olenna Tyrell, a witty and sarcastic political mastermind popularly known as the Queen of Thorns. Her performance earned her an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series.

                          She appears in the new series of All Creatures Great and Small, currently being shown on Channel Five. Last year she appeared on Broadway in the Musical My Fair Lady, earning her fourth Tony nomination.

                          Diana Rigg Rigg died earler today at her home in London after a short illness.

                            The images were released today as part of New York Comic Con

                            The upcoming festive special will see the return of one of the Doctor’s biggest and most feared enemies – the Daleks.

                            But it’s not easy. Old habits die hard. Especially when they discover a disturbing plan forming.

                            A plan which involves a Dalek. How can you fight a Dalek, without the Doctor?


                            Revolution of the Daleks will air during the upcoming festive period on BBC One and BBC America.
