The thrilling adventure by Frank Cottrell Boyce is the second official sequel to the original Chitty Chitty Bang Bang by Ian Fleming

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang And The Race Against Time

We need to get as far from the T-rex as possible. It was a sentence Dad had never expected to say ...and something the Tootings never expected to hear. But then again they never expected Chitty to get stuck reversing through time until she came to rest at the feet of a very hungry dinosaur. Can Chitty get them out of trouble before they become T-rex takeaway? And, if so, where (or rather when) will the magical car take them next?

Brand New Tenth Doctor Audio Book - Destiny Of The Doctor: Death's Deal Synopsis & Trailer

The synopsis and a trailer for the Tenth Doctor's Destiny Of The Doctor audio adventure have been released.

Synopsis:

Responding to multiple maydays, the TARDIS lands on the planet of Death’s Deal, but the distress calls are old, the final echoes of terrified lost souls. This is an exotic world of lethal creatures, nicknamed ‘The Deadliest Planet in the Galaxy’, and only the brave, foolhardy or greedy would ever dare to visit.

Finding themselves stranded among a motley bunch of space-tourists, the Doctor and Donna must lead a struggle for survival against the frenzied wildlife, as they slowly realise that other members of the group have very different agendas.

And soon the Doctor learns of an even bigger threat hiding on Death’s Deal. Somewhere deep below the surface, is something that must never be unearthed.
Time is running out, and only an impossible survivor holds the key…

Download the trailer here. 

Catherine Tate is performing Death's Deal and Duncan Wiseby will guest star. 

The adventure written by Darren Jones is released in the UK and the USA on 3rd October 2013.

AudioGo Release Kafka The Musical Starring David Tennant

AudioGo, the home of BBC audiobooks, have made Murray Gold's award winning radio drama Kafka The Musical available to purchase as an audio download from their UK site. The play starred David Tennant as Franz Kafka and was originally broadcast on BBC Radio 3 in 2011. It has since won BBC Audio Drama Awards for both David (Best Actor, 2012) and for writer Murray Gold (the Tinniswood Radio Drama Award 2012 for Best Radio Drama Script). 

AudioGo say:

Murray Gold's new play starts from the suitably Kafkaesque premise that Franz Kafka finds he has to play himself in a musical about his own life. The play - or is it the musical? - introduces Kafka and the audience to some of the key characters in his life, Milena Jesenska, Dora Diamant and Felice Bauer. David Tennant stars as Kafka, in a performance that won him a "Best Actor" award at the BBC Audio Drama Awards. Music by Murray Gold. Directed by Jeremy Mortimer.

The play costs just £1.99 and is available now.

The first story, Hunters from Earthby Nigel Robinson is read by Carole Ann Ford and Tam Williams, and is set in that little-charted period after the first Doctor and Susan have arrived on Earth in 1963, but before they depart with Ian and Barbara at the end of An Unearthly Child.

David Tennant Reads On Her Majesty's Secret Service - Audiobook Review

David Tennant is a consummate reader of audiobooks, previously having brought to vivid life such titles as My Sister Lives On The Mantelpiece, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Flies Again and, of course, the How To Train Your Dragon series by Cressida Cowell. Now he turns his vocal talents to a classic modern British adventure story to read On Her Majesty’s Service, one of Ian Fleming’s James Bond novels. We've had a sneak peak (or whatever the aural equivalent is) and we can tell you that this is definitely set to be another David favourite. 

Dropping his native accent in favour of something more Home Counties, David Tennant takes up the tale as 007 embarks on another danger-packed mission to save the world from a criminal threat.

Following information given to him by crime syndicate boss Marc-Ange Draco, Bond continues his pursuit of Ernst Blofeld and SPECTRE to Switzerlandwhile also finding time to romance Draco’s daughter. The drama finds him making a breathless downhill escape on skis from the enemy base, told at a galloping pace by Tennant. Bond dodges avalanches and SPECTRE guards, even finding the time to swig a little nip of alcohol between threats. Tennant handles the changes of pace deftly – from the poignancy, almost ennui, in the opening passages of the novel through adrenaline-fuelled pursuit to utter exhaustion and relief – and as a listener we are drawn so easily into Bond’s world that it almost feels as though we are shoulder to shoulder with him as the mystery unravels.

Yet as the adventure draws to a close there is an unfortunate escape and a terrible tragedy.

The audio release also includes an exclusive interview with David Tennant

On Her Majesty’s Secret Service is one in a series of twelve Ian Fleming novels read by some of the country’s finest acting talent for the 007 Reloaded series. The series is now available to pre-order from AudioGo and each pre-order includes entry into a competition to win a special one-off prize: a facsimile of the first-edition hardback novel of the same story, signed by the star reader. The series is released on CD and MP3 download on September 6^th 2012.
