Plus we return to travels with the First Doctor for the third instalment of The First Doctor The Companion Chronicles, with two adventures due for release next year. More details here.
Released on Tuesday, Ghost Walk is available on CD and download and the Fifth Doctor is dead! Or so it would seem in the latest tale in the Doctor Who Main Range. Peter Davison stars as the Fifth Doctor with companions Adric, Nyssa and Tegan, in this latest spooky adventure.
This is a city of ghosts and no-one knows them better than Leanne.
Twice a night she leads tourists to visit the most haunted sites – the Hanging Yard, the Witch Pool, the Screaming House, and, of course, the Catacombs. Leanne’s realised the ghosts of the city are real. Something’s lurking in the Catacombs – an ancient force that has been growing in the darkness for centuries. Sabaoth is returning and they must be stopped before they devour the world.
Leanne knows this, because a ghost told her. A ghost called the Doctor.
Out Thursday were four new adventures from the worlds of Doctor Who with the return of the indomitable Sir Winston Churchill, played by Ian McNeice. First seen in Doctor Who TV episode Victory of the Daleks, Churchill continues to KBO halting alien activity that threatens Great Britain, nay, the entire planet! And with him, for the first time in a Big Finish release, we welcome the wonderful Madame Vastra played by Neve McIntosh.
And on Saturday the second of our Big Finish Originals gets its full series cover art, fresh of the pen of Stuart Manning.
Samuel Barnett plays the titular Cicero – one of the most celebrated and important figures in European language and culture in this audio thriller.
