Samuel Pepys is stumbling around drunk, Celtic warriors are stirring up trouble, and Jackie Tyler’s new flatmate is Edith Nesbit. Not your usual day for the Powell Estate. 

The latest audio adventure for the Ninth Doctor (Christopher Eccleston) and Rose (Billie Piper), Pandemonium by Katharine Armitage, begins with the time travellers arriving back in London, 2006, where they find figures from throughout history have popped back into existence. 

The Doctor wants to find an explanation for this mystery and put things right. But for Rose, this could offer an opportunity – if people from the Estate’s past are turning up, could there be a chance of one last meeting with her dad? 

Doctor Who – The Ninth Doctor Adventures: Pandemonium is now available to purchase for just £9.99 (download to own) or £11.99 (download to own + collector’s edition CD), exclusively here. Please note: the collector’s edition CD is strictly limited to 1,500 copies and will not be re-pressed. 

The past has broken through into the Powell Estate and not even the Doctor knows what's happening! With more and more historical figures appearing, it's a race to figure out what's behind this, before the past becomes the present and all hell breaks loose... 

Pandemonium guest stars Camille Coduri as Jackie Tyler, reprising the role she first played in Doctor Who in 2005. The cast also includes Clive Hayward as Glen, Kate Harbour as Edith Nesbit/Celtic Warrior, Holly Jackson Walters as Violette Szabo and Nick Denning-Read as Paul/Samuel Pepys. 

Lead actor Christopher Eccleston said: “The emotional stakes are very high in this episode! It touches very strongly on the themes and events of Father’s Day and brings Rose very close again to this notion of changing time, which is a point of tension between her and the Doctor. Plus, the Doctor’s frustrated about being stuck on Earth – and he’s more frustrated about being stuck with Jackie!” 

His co-star Billie Piper added: “This episode is a history lesson with all the tropes of a great drama, and loss and grief. It deals with the sadness of the past and people having to come to terms with that. It’s a hard experience for Rose because it closes up the story of her and her dad.” 

And Camille Coduri, who plays Jackie Tyler, said: “Kat’s really honoured Russell’s work, in the way that she’s put a hand in your chest and pulled out your heart a few times. This is what we all love about Doctor Who, isn’t it? The strangeness, the scariness, the comedy, and these brilliant historical characters. It’s just fantastic to be a part of that.”
