David Tennant and Catherine Tate have returned to the TARDIS for more Doctor Who audio adventures courtesy of Big Finish. And if that wasn't exciting enough, they will be joined by Bernard Cribbins and Jacqueline King for a Noble family reunion!
“It’s so lovely to be additionally joined by Jax and Bernard this time and to have a chance to hang out with old friends again” says David Tennant . “But it’s weird how familiar it all is, because it’s been quite a long time now...” Ten years. “Ten years! I know! It doesn’t seem right, does it? Increasingly Now, I meet grown-up people who say, ‘You were such a big part of my childhood.’ Which of course is lovely, but you do think, ‘Ooh...’ Time moves on.”
“Russell was brilliant at creating family units that people completely identified with and fell in love with. There was a similar reaction last year when I did the Big Finish stuff with Billie and Camille. Because it was the same with Rose and Jackie, Martha’s family, and of course the Nobles. You felt you knew those characters; you felt welcomed into their home. It’s always very nice to revisit that.”
Returning to the now decade old era of the show was “like slipping back into a very happy coat.” says David. The first time Catherine and I did these two years ago, I worried it would be difficult to key back in. But staring through a booth at Catherine is enough to bring it back reasonably quickly.”
The three new adventures will take us back into history to the 1950s where menacing threats lurk in London’s smog in an entrancing tale by Roy Gill; we’ll explore dangerous underwater worlds with the Judoon in a thriller by Jenny T Colgan; and James Goss takes the Doctor, Donna and family on their most treacherous journey yet... into the horrifying world of reality television! David explains; “It’s an audio version of found-footage, sort of The Blair Witch Project On CD. It’s quite high concept. Doctor Who scripts have been written now for over 55 years. That’s a lot of ideas that have been used up already, so it must be hard to find new ways of telling a Doctor Who story. Yet this script is something I’ve never heard before.”

It’s Haunted Makeovers! The home improvement show with a spooky twist.
The Noble family are hoping to cast out a few spirits along with the old bathroom suite, as presenter Justin joins Donna, Wilf, Sylvia and the Doctor for the latest edition of his reality TV series.
Of course, Justin knows that any supernatural phenomena can be faked. Ghosts can’t possibly be real.
Can they..?
One Mile Down by Jenny T Colgan
Donna and the Doctor take a holiday – in the beautiful underwater city of Vallarasee.
Things have changed since the Doctor last swam through it: Vallarasee is now enclosed inside an airdome. Judoon patrol historic sites, and instead of tourists wearing helmets to breathe, the native Fins are forced to adapt.
But leaks have begun to trickle into the dome, and the Doctor and Donna must convince the Judoon that disaster is imminent. Or else thousands will be trapped, as the waters rise…
The Creeping Death by Roy Gill
London, 1952, and a deadly smog envelops the capital.
But something even more dangerous – and alien – is hiding within the mists.
When the Doctor and Donna get lost in the fog, they find a motley group of Londoners trying to make their way home.
Soon the stakes are raised, as death creeps along fume-choked streets, and not everyone will make it out alive….
