Series 11 and 12 of Doctor Who – The Fourth Doctor Adventures will be released in January and February of 2022 and 2023. During these two series he’ll be joined by new friends, facing many villains familiar to Doctor Who fans.

David Richardson, producer of The Fourth Doctor Adventures, tells us more: “For Series 11 we’re into new territory with four stories set between TV episodes The Deadly Assassin and The Face of Evil, when the Doctor is travelling solo. I was tempted to say that he is without friends but the Doctor is always drawn to people and will find someone to fill the ‘friend’ role in any adventure.  

“I had in the back of my mind, when we were making Series 11, that these could almost be audition pieces for possible future companions, and had there been room there are many guest stars in these tales that could have taken the role. But ultimately it was Nerys Hughes as Margaret Hopwood in The Ravencliff Witch who took the prize – and she returns in Series 12, reintroduced later in the Doctor’s life, to travel alongside him and Leela. 

“Margaret is a lovely character. She’s a sculptor  and someone who perhaps has regrets about life and wants to make up for them, and in the Doctor she finds a new lease of life. She’s also a wonderful contrast to Leela – they are two characters who could not be more different, and yet they forge a close friendship.” 

In Series 11, the Fourth Doctor will also be reunited with a mentor of the Doctor’s from Gallifrey – kleptomaniac evil Time Lord the Nine (played by John Heffernan), as well as meeting a whole host of characters from throughout the universe.  

And in Series 12, the Fourth Doctor, Leela and new companion Margaret will face the Weeping Angels (from the more recent series of Doctor Who) in the thrilling adventure Stone Cold by Roland Moore, and then the Ice Warriors in Ice Heist!
