To escape his Earth exile, the Doctor is prepared to make any bargain, come to any arrangement, or to do any deal with any devil – even if in this case the Devil wears a monk's robes. But when past misdeeds start catching up with both the Doctor and the Monk, who can Liz Shaw trust when time is running out and death is rapidly approaching?

Written by range producer Ian Atkins and performed by Rufus Hound, Doctor Who – Short Trips: The Blame Game is an irresistible new story set early in the Third Doctor's exile, which sees Big Finish's latest incarnation of the Monk meeting his trapped fellow Time Lord. But is this more than just some prison visit?

The Monk will return in 2017 to menace the Fourth Doctor, Sarah and Harry in Doctor Who: How to Win Planets and Influence People, with more details coming soon. You can also download his earlier encounter with the Doctor in Doctor Who: The Black Hole, while Graeme Garden's incarnation matches wits with the Eighth Doctor (Paul McGann) in five stories from The Eighth Doctor Adventures Series 4.
