Doctor Who – Doctors and Dragons is out now.

Reya always knew she was different. Only she could see the numbers that govern the universe. When her sister is poisoned, Reya quests for the only substance that can save her. The blood of the last dragon. The only thing that stands in her way is a strange little man called the Doctor. He’s refusing to let her kill the dragon, even though it will save her sister.

Defeat the Doctor, kill the dragon, save her sister. What could be simpler?

Alfie Shaw, writer of Doctors and Dragons and producer of the Short Trips range, told us what to expect in the first story he’s penned for Big Finish: ‘I’ve been listening to a few podcasts recently where people get involved in roleplaying games and the title just sort of slid into my head. It then didn’t leave for ages so I thought I should probably write what came next!

"I love the Seventh Doctor, and since he’s the Doctor most associated with planning and schemes, it was a natural fit to put them up against something that can ruin the best-laid plans with a single dice roll. It was a childhood dream come true to be in the recording studio with Sophie, who performed it wonderfully. Hope you all enjoy it!”

Doctors and Dragons is available now for £2.99 on download (only) from Big Finish. Or you can save money with a bundle of the Short Trips range and get the 12 stories from series 9 for just £30 a year.

Coming next in the Short Trips range, the Second Doctor learns Venusian Aikido in Year of the Drex Olympics, by Paul Ebbs. Tune in to the trailer below:

All the Doctor wanted to do on Venus was learn their aikido. But as ever, his plans have gone awry. The TARDIS has been stolen to be a prize in the Venusian Olympics. The Doctor is furious, not only at the theft but also that it is the third place prize! Jamie and Victoria compete to win the TARDIS back, but soon find themselves winning every event.

The TARDIS crew normally win, but this time it might cost them everything…

Details of the next four adventures in the Doctor Who Short Trips range (due for release from April onwards) have also recently been revealed.

Jo Grant uncovers someone being assassinated – over and over again; the Sixth Doctor and Peri take on the most feared of intergalactic shopping malls; and Harry Sullivan gets trending in a story on social media gone awry. And fans of New Series Doctor Who might finally find the answer to a question they’ve had since watching the New Series television episode Rose… what brought the Ninth Doctor to the Titanic?
