The Doctor was dead, to begin with. Killed alongside his beloved Jo Grant in an explosion in the UNIT labs. But Time Lords are notoriously hard to kill. Because with UNIT under siege, the Brigadier is rescued by two familiar faces... the Doctor he first encountered, fighting the Yeti, and Jamie McCrimmon. With yet one more waiting in the wings. They are all pawns in a deadly game of chess played by a being more powerful than any they’ve ever encountered before. And when you battle Death himself... can anyone even win? Adapted from the original treatment by Bob Baker and Dave Martin for what later became the TV episode The Three Doctors. **This title is strictly limited to 2,000 copies** Brigadier Alistair Lethbridge-Stewart © Haisman & Lincoln and used under licence.

Manchester, 1993. The Time Lady Ruath, an old friend of the Doctor's, arrives on the planet to inform Earth's vampires that the arrival of their legendary messiah is imminent. His rising will herald an age of endless night where the undead reign supreme. All that is needed is the blood of a Time Lord. In Tasmania, the Doctor, Tegan, and Nyssa are enjoying the sun and plenty of cricket. When they are attacked by vampires, they escape unscathed, except for Nyssa who suffers two small puncture wounds to her neck. Compelled by her attacker to remain silent, she can tell no-one what she's turning into. Why is Ruath so determined to see the descendants of the Great Vampire rise to power? If only the Doctor knew the truth, she's certain he would turn to her side, and help to secure the future of Vampire kind, no matter how much humanity must suffer. Based on the 1994 Missing Adventures novel by Paul Cornell.

Their lives are tangled, complex, intertwined. But this Doctor doesn't do domestics, and for once, River might have her work cut out. With time and space against them, these lovers are star-crossed in more ways than most. 4.1 Swipe Right by John Dorney There are strange rumours about the planet Crell. People have been vanishing. The mysterious Matchmaker is keen to get the populace paired up via his special dating app… but rejecting too many suitors can have fatal consequences. It’s precisely the sort of thing the Doctor would want to investigate. But unfortunately it’s also precisely the sort of thing River Song would want to investigate too. The Doctor and River are on a collision course - but this time it might not be a match made in heaven. 4.2 Face of the Apocalypse by Lizzie Hopley After locking onto an unusual algorithm, the TARDIS lands in a hi-security Intergalactic Bank where the computerised system only recognises one face - River Song. The Doctor discovers River dismantling the main computer and immediately suspects her of something dodgy… But a case of stolen identity becomes far more serious as River’s face starts to appear throughout history and the Bank vaults start filling up with Temporal Prisoners. Is River the victim of a sting or a bored computer nerd? One thing’s for certain, the ‘glitch’ is no longer a glitch and is on its way to destroying all of spacetime, starting with Prisoner Number One. 4.3 Archipelago by Tim Foley River Song has one last request. If the Doctor undertakes a dangerous journey with her on the planet Fortuna, she’ll never bother him again. But this is no ordinary voyage. As the storms batter their tiny vessel, the travellers are confronted with some brutal home truths. There is a captain in search of a husband. There is a ship in need of a light. And there are lovers lost in the maelstrom who will always be islands apart...

This title was released in May 2024. It will be exclusively available to buy from the Big Finish website until 31 July 2024, and on general sale after this date. It's 1987 and "Disco" Jones is still dancing. Life and soul, bab, life and soul. Wednesdays is darts at The Merry Miller, Thursdays - shove ha'penny at The Boilermakers, Fridays played by ear, and Saturdays it’s the Disco at Cinderella's. So who is Tom and why does he want to build a fence with him? Gareth David Lloyd said: “It all started last summer, when I said to James that I had an idea for a script and he said he had another couple of thoughts, so would I mind having a look at those as well. “James gave me a few starting points for other ideas, and I chose a pair of them, adapted them, and added my own one, which became Disco.” “Disco has been a long time coming. Ianto's dad has been this nameless entity so far who seems to have been quite a negative force in Ianto’s life. So, I thought it was about time that we made him a three-dimensional character and really looked to who he was and at the reasons Ianto is so affected by him. “Ianto creates an opportunity in Disco to find out who his dad was before he knew him. He is described by old friends as the life and soul of the party. That takes Ianto by surprise as he only knew him as quite a tragic figure. Ianto’s interest is piqued and he wants to meet this version of his dad that people have such fond memories of.” Director Lisa Bowerman said: “Disco is an extraordinary script because Gareth has managed to combine what is essentially a time travelling story with the most authentic, emotional and domestic context. It has a huge arc and a huge depth to it. It’s a brilliant piece of audio drama.” Producer James Goss said: “Disco is a remarkable play. Gareth David-Lloyd tells the story that Torchwood fans have always wanted to know – what's up with Ianto's dad? The answer is joyous and sad. Torchwood at its best takes a classic idea and does something unexpected with it. This is a time travel story about two blokes building a literal fence. It's an epic about the web of time but there's also dancing, darts, and a trip down the dole. “The play is also linked to the Torchwood One box set , released the same month. We've pulled off a coup where a mystery set up in I Hate Mondays is answered in Disco. You can enjoy both titles completely separately, but put together they complete a picture of a truly terrible fortnight in Ianto's life. “Honestly, Disco is magnificent, and Gareth deserves to win all the awards for it.”

Vastra believes trespassers are close at hand, and seeks out clues in some of the Gang's previous cases... 2.4 Anne of a Thousand Light Years by James Kettle The course of true love never does run smooth - especially when it involves a high-born young lady, a humble farmhand and extra-terrestrial chameleons on the lookout for breeding stock.

In the heart of the English countryside, the Gang tackle an assignment involving romance, skulduggery and horse manure. 2.5 Pater Noster by Gary Russell Something is hiding in the sewers of London, picking off the poor and lost souls who live down there...

A case where she and her friends face death from an enemy capable of shredding matter into echoing screams... 2.6 The Gentlemen Thieves by Lauren Mooney and Stewart Pringle Vastra reviews the case of a 'one-man crime wave' - break-ins and burglaries, committed by the same handsome and daring thief, even when they were committed at exactly the same time. Unravelling the secrets of these doppelganger ne’er-do-wells, the Gang touch on the fringe of a bigger conspiracy. But as Vastra recalls the past, the dangers of the present are closing in.

When a real-life murder occurs soon after their gathering, the Doctor’s friends encourage him to investigate. Is one of the Merfolk responsible? Was this crime the result of espionage or envy?
