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…

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.

Big Finish Announce That Their Doctor Who Licence Is Renewed

Big Finish announced today that its licence with AudioGO to make Doctor Who on audio has been extended up to December 2016. Big Finish currently produce audio adventures for the 'classic' first eight Doctors along with a number of spin-off ranges, including Sarah Jane Smith and UNIT adventures, and stories based on other classic TV series and characters. 

The Big Finish reaction

Jason Haigh-Ellery (Executive Producer):

‘It’s an absolute privilege to be entrusted with making audio adventures for Doctor Who for at least another three years. And it’s wonderful that we will be able to continue our excellent working relationships with our friends and colleagues at AudioGO and Cardiff.’

Nicholas Briggs (Executive Producer):

‘This year will mark my seventh anniversary as executive producer at Big Finish. For me, it's a clear indication of how much fun I've been having with the work and the people I'm privileged to work with that I am looking forward to the possibilities opening up with this latest extension of our licence so much. And by that time, I'll have been in the role for ten years! Bring it on, I say. We have a great relationship with AudioGo and there will be exciting developments ahead.'

David Richardson (Line Producer):

‘We have so many more tales to tell with the first eight Doctors and their companions. We can promise that 2016 will see more of your favourite ranges – plus maybe a brand new range or two that will surprise and delight. Certainly, as a team, we could not be happier that we will continue to be able to make our Doctor Who dreams a reality.’

Earlier this year Big Finish recorded a special 50th Anniversary audio special starring Tom Baker, Peter Davison, Colin Baker, Sylvester McCoy and Paul McGann with Sophie Aldred, Sarah Sutton, Louise Jameson and Nicola Bryant, due out in November.

Although they are currently not licensed to produce dramas featuring the three most recent incarnations of the Time Lord, they do stock a number of recordings featuring a pre-Doctor David Tennant in a variety of roles.

Get Luther Arkwright Starring David Tennant For Just £5

Big Finish are running a special offer on the audio drama CD of The Adventures Of Luther Arkwright. For  this weekend only you can get yourself a copy for just £5 for the three disc set.

The full cast drama is adapted from the graphic novel of the same name by Brian Talbot, which was adapted for audio by Mark Wright. It also stars Siri O'Neal and Paul Darrow and was originally released in 2005.


Big Finish say:

The Adventures of Luther Arkwright is an exciting adventure serial based on the comic books written and drawn by Bryan Talbot. Renowned comics writer Warren Ellis described Luther Arkwright as 'probably the single most influential graphic novel to have come out of Britain to date... probably Anglophone comics' single most important experimental work.'

Luther battles against the Disruptors in a parallel world where many things are familiar - but nothing is the same.

The alternative England where Luther fights the Disruptors did not see the monarchy restored after the English Civil War and has been under the rule of the Puritan Parliamentarians for hundreds of years. Lead by a direct descendant of Oliver Cromwell, England is ripe for the taking by European superpowers that are preparing to invade.

Many in England dream of past glories and an empire ruled by the long exiled Kings and Queens of England. A second Civil war is brewing - its aim to bring Prince Charles to the throne and Luther must help to ensure that the right side wins - not just for the sake of this world, but for all worlds...

Visit the Big Finish website to place an order or to download a free 20-minute sample podcast. The special offer continues for Saturday and Sunday only.

Big Finish will ship to overseas destinations too - check the order page for costs.

Clarification: 'Classic' Doctors Backing New Big Finish Audio Project

Big Finish executive producer Nicholas Briggs has clarified the extent of the involvement of the surviving Doctors in the new Big Finish 50th Anniversary audio story to be released in November 2013. As previously reported Doctor Who: Light At The End sees Tom Baker, Peter Davison, Colin Baker, Sylvester McCoy and Paul McGann all reprising their roles as the Time Lord in the new adventure. There was also a suggestion that the three most recent incarnation of the Doctor, Christopher Eccleston, David  Tennant and Matt Smith, were also behind the project.

However, Briggs, in a Twitter conversation with our friends DT Forum has stated that their information was wrongly interpreted by the Radio Times and denies that the three modern day Doctors are involved.

"This was the Radio Times extrapolating incorrectly." he explained, "We stupidly said all surviving Doctors supported the project. We meant 'all surviving classic Doctors'."

So it looks sadly as though the much desired return of David Tennant as the Tenth Doctor won't be happening in this project at least.

AudioGo And Big Finish Team Up For 50th Anniversary Doctor Who Stories

According to a report in the new issue of Doctor Who Magazine, audio producers Big Finish and AudioGo are working together on a series of eleven special Doctor Who stories to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the show next year.

The series will feature one Doctor per month, and will be overseen by John Ainsworth, with AudioGo’s Michael Stevens and Big Finish’s Nicholas Briggs and Jason Haigh-Ellery executive producing. 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. The second story, Simon Guerrier’s Shadow of Death, features the second Doctor, Jamie and Zoe, and is read by Frazer Hines and Eve Dawnay.

As well as marking the first time that Big Finish have tackled stories for Doctors from the current version of the show, it will also be the first time that an original story for the ninth Doctor will be released on audio.

Further details will be available from www.bigfinish.com
