Big Finish Monthly Range

The planet Cawdor. Deep in the heart of the Drashani Empire. The Doctor lands thirty years after the Succession of Blood brought Empress Cheni to the throne. For most of her reign there has been peace and prosperity. The Empire flourished. But five years ago, the War came. And nothing was ever the same again. Now the Drashani are at war with the mysterious alien race known as the Wrath, led by the Warlord Tenebris. As more and more planets fall to their advance events are rushing to a head. What exactly does Tenebris want? What is the secret of the Wrath’s weapon, the terrifying Acheron Pulse? As the Doctor races to save an Empire, he may not like the answers he finds.

The Umbrella Man is back. But when the Doctor recruits UNIT’s Scientific Adviser Elizabeth Klein for an off-the-books mission to the apocalyptic final days of Hitler’s Germany, he isn’t expecting Klein’s hapless young assistant, Will Arrowsmith, to be joining them too. The Doctor isn’t the only alien creature seeking to loot a very particular secret from a Nazi base in Dusseldorf, however. Strange and sinister beings are converging on the same time/space location in search of the scientist Schalk, whose experiments are the key to a devastating power… The power of Persuasion.

Hex is dead. And a distraught Ace holds the Doctor responsible. She forces him to take a trip to 21st century Liverpool to break the news to Hex’s beloved nan and, to pay tribute to Thomas Hector Schofield, the pair seek out his family and friends to tell them of his adventures. They’re helped by Private Sally Morgan, who has her own peace to find. The Doctor, Ace and Sally must each face the fallout of the loss of their friend – to commemorate him, remember him, and finally to move on. But can they do it together, or will their attempts drive them apart?

Aiming for a quiet Spanish holiday, the TARDIS team arrive instead at the height of the Spanish Civil War. Francisco Franco’s bombers rain terror from the skies, but terror may also take other, less terrestrial forms… All three of this old-new TARDIS team have battle scars in their own way – placing them amidst the horrors of history should provide juicy dramatic material. Writer Guy Adams, a seasoned scribe of Torchwood and Bernice Summerfield, excels in placing the regulars through the wringer.

Planning on visiting a world of natural beauty, the Doctor and his friends instead arrive on the neighbouring parking planetoid, and soon find themselves caught in a war about Free Parking… With the story’s satirical themes married to writer John Dorney’s signature wit, this could be the makings of another corker from Big Finish, recalling classic TV stories such as The Sunmakers and Paradise Towers.

The Doctor and Peri land in New York looking for alien technology. The Doctor enlists the help of his old friend Harry Houdini (played by John Schwab). Harry is all to keen to help, but is there more going on then the Doctor is telling him. The Doctor, Peri and Harry soon get caught in a WWI spy thriller with betrayals, a biplane dogfight and Harry Houdini given plenty of opportunities to show off his skills. Writer Steve Lyons (Blood of the Daleks) delivers a fun story that uses a historical figure in an interesting way.

The Doctor and Peri arrive on Omnia, a Dalek-controlled world unlike any other. But what is the Daleks’ true interest in Omnia? Why are they ruling it at arm’s length? And on a planet where resistance is met with ruthless reprisals, will the time travellers’ aid result in mass slaughter…? The challenge with any new Dalek story is finding new angles to the Doctor’s most famous adversaries. Seasoned Doctor Who writer Andrew Smith (Full Circle, Hour of the Cybermen) rises to that challenge by focussing on characters willing to collaborate with the Daleks in the subjugation of their own people – a scenario where the fiery Sixth Doctor should excel.

In 63BC, Cicero and his wife retire to the coastal village of Cumae after the overthrow of Catiline. When a stranger and his companions arrive at Cicero’s villa, new dangers lie in wait and Cicero finds himself plunged into the realm of gods and monsters. Can Cicero trust the man known only as the Doctor to help him get home?

The strange individuals dressed in Shakespearian costume or the talking animals wearing waistcoats digging in the tunnels? The Baby Awakes by Susan Dennom The Doctor, Peri and Joe visit the Ishtar institute, where the term ‘designer babies’ takes on a new and sinister meaning. Will our heroes survive Christmas day? I Wish It Could Be Christmas Every Day by Andrew Lias A Christmas party that’s been going on for three years. Strange silver robots who guard the Christmas decorations with lethal force. What is the secret behind the festivities on Tate Galactic? Brightly Shone The Moon That Night by Nev Fountain The TARDIS crew encounters a shameful secret of the Time Lords. History has been rewritten, and this time it’s all the Doctor’s fault.

With Ace working for the enemy, the Doctor must rely on scheming Time Lord Cardinal Ollistra for help. The stage is set for an epic confrontation. Because the Doctor has a plan to stop the Eleven. A grand plan. An appalling plan. A plan that endangers all life in the cosmos. Whichever one of them wins, the Dark Universe won’t want to lose…
