The three thrilling tales are as follows:
Buying Time by John Dorney
The far future –Anya Kingdom of the Space Security Service is on a mission investigatingan SSS ship crashing on a distant jungle planet. Unknown to her superiors, she’s searching for something very specific... but what she finds is completely unexpected. Her old friend, the Doctor. With a completely different face and no idea what he’s doingthere.The Time Lord soon finds himself drawn into a conspiracy involving voracious predators, time travel and a malevolent businessman. History itself is breaking down. If he makes a mistake, it could mean the end of everything...
The Wrong Woman by John Dorney
The team’s investigations have taken an unexpected turn -but the signs all still point to Sheldrake. With the clock ticking down to the launch of the time tunnels, the Doctor, Anya and Mark split up... but soon discover how hard it is to fighta foe who can always keep one step ahead of you.But stopping him is only half the battle. The Doctor says that time can be rewritten -and Anya is searching for redemption. Can she put history back on track? Or is the Doctor’s future never going to be the same again?
The House of Kingdom by Andrew Smith
The Doctor and his friends are trying to locate a scientist to help them out on their quest... but an attack on a space-station alters their plans.Rescued by Anya’s grandfather, Merrick, and taken to Neptune, the Doctor and Mark discover her family history. A story of betrayal and loss.Will the Kingdom’s be reconciled? Or are they destined to continue the mistakes of the past?
Writer John Dorney said: “Buying Timeand The Wrong Womankick the season off with an epic two-parter that brings the Doctor into the world of the Space Security Service with a bang. He’s swiftly reunited with Mark and Anya, in the middle of their own investigations into a sinister businessman called Sheldrake... but without his TARDIS and the lingering question of who has brought him here hanging over everything. I wanted to start the series off with the sort of story you’d usually end one with, filled with big bold moments. At one point I think it literally hasit all!”
Writer Andrew Smith added: “The first of many highlights about being asked to write for Dalek Universewas that it would be my first time writing for David Tennant's Tenth Doctor. It was a treat to come up with scenes and dialogue for such a fun, high energy Doctor, and one of the most talented actors ever to take on the part.
“Add to that: the mouthwatering prospect of having the Doctor in surroundings familiar from the earliest seasons of Doctor Who, the era of the Dalek Masterplan; one of his companions is Space Security Service agent Anya Kingdom, whom I had introduced as a former companion of the Fourth Doctor; and Mechonoids! What a storytelling sandpit that was.”
