This Week at Big Finish
Catch up on all the latest news and releases from the worlds of Big Finish.
It's been a stellar week for Doctor Who listeners, with two brand new releases and a TARDIS full of exciting information on our upcoming stories!
The Fifth Doctor (Peter Davison) and his companions investigated a haunted spaceship in our latest Main Range release Doctor Who: Aquitaine by Simon Barnard and Paul Morris. This craft's only inhabitant is Hargreaves (Matthew Cottle) a friendly robot butler – but will he be able to offer his assistance when Nyssa (Sarah Sutton) and Tegan (Janet Fielding) are lost in time?
You can buy and download this story today from the Big Finish website; and remember, when you choose to buy this release on CD directly from Big Finish, you will also unlock instant access to a digital copy for download.
Next, the Fourth Doctor (Tom Baker) visited Budapest in Eddie Robson's Doctor Who: The Labyrinth of Buda Castle; where a vampire is on the loose! Doctor Who: Doom Coalition star Mark Bonnar stars as the terrifying Zoltan Frid, whose terrible plan for the city may be too much for the Doctor, Romana (Lalla Ward) and K9 (John Leeson) to handle!
You can subscribe to the entire Fourth Doctor Adventures Series 5 today to enjoy additional savings. Four previous series of Fourth Doctor Adventures are available to order now, with special bundles also available.
But that was just the start of our Doctor Who reveals, as we also debuted some brand new artwork from some of our most anticipated titles! In May, the Tenth Doctor (David Tennant) and Donna Noble (Catherine Tate) will return in three new audio adventures; and you can check out the covers for Doctor Who: Technophobia, Doctor Who: Time Reaver and Doctor Who: Death and the Queen online now!
All three stories are available to pre-order now either individually or as part of a special limited editionbox-set. The set also comes with an exclusive behind-the-scenes special feature, and a fifth disc containing a documentary looking at the worlds of Big Finish. Copies of this limited edition have nearly sold out, so order your copy now before it's too late. Listen to a clip from the series below:
We've also shown off the final two covers for our eagerly awaited Two Masters trilogy, released as part of the Doctor Who Main Range between April and June. Starring both Geoffrey Beevers and Alex MacQueen, this trilogy will build to a climatic team-up between two incarnations of the Time Lord villain in Doctor Who: The Two Masters.
