David Tennant & Catherine Tate return to Doctor Who in three brand new audio dramas
David Tennant and Catherine Tate are set to return to Doctor Who next year. The Tenth Doctor will return along with his companion Donna Noble in a
brand new series of three audio dramas from Big Finish, set to be
released in May 2016.
David Tennant portrayed the Doctor on screen from 2005 until 1 January 2010, returning to play alongside Matt Smith and John Hurt in the 50th Anniversary special The Day of the Doctor in 2013. Catherine Tate
made her debut as Donna in December 2006, and after a series and two
festive specials she made her last appearance alongside David on 1
January 2010. Their on-screen partnership is generally regarded as one
of the great high-points of the enduring science fiction phenomenon.
'I still remember the sense of joy I had when I heard that David had
been asked to play the Doctor,' says Big Finish executive producer Jason Haigh-Ellery.
'We were all so pleased for him — as we knew how much Doctor Who meant
to him. And now David comes full circle, back doing Doctor Who with Big
Finish — except that this time he’s playing the Doctor! It’s the same
but different — it’s wonderful to have him back!'
The series opens with Doctor Who – The Tenth Doctor Adventures: Technophobia by Matt Fitton,
which is set in a London slightly in the future, where mankind is
gradually losing its ability to use everyday technology. Could there be
an evil force at work?
In Doctor Who – The Tenth Doctor Adventures: Time Reaver by Jenny T Colgan
the Doctor and Donna arrive on Calibris - ‘An entirely mechanical
planet. Catch, hitch, fuel, fix, buy, pretty much any kind of
transportation in existence.’ It’s also a world full of scoundrels,
where a deadly black market has opened up in a device known only as the
Time Reaver.
Finally, in Doctor Who – The Tenth Doctor Adventures: Death and the Queen by James Goss,
Donna is swept along in a fairytale romance and meets the man of her
dreams in the beautiful land of Goritania. What can possibly go wrong?
And why has the Doctor never heard of Goritania?
'I’ve enjoyed working with all the Doctors on TV, but David is the only
one I’d known before he became the Doctor,' says executive producer Nicholas Briggs. 'I’d worked with him on our Dalek Empire
series for Big Finish and had such fun. So along with the excitement of
directing new Tenth Doctor adventures, I’m so happy to be working with
an old chum again.'
Doctor Who: The Tenth Doctor Adventures is produced by David Richardson, script edited by Matt Fitton and James Goss and directed by Nicholas Briggs.
'This is one of those dream projects where I’ve spent months pinching
myself. I’m covered in bruises,’ says David. ‘With two major
international stars in place, and the legacy of this era of the TV show
to live up to, we’ve worked our socks off to try and make some very
special stories for this box set. Expect adventure, fun, scares... and
some tears too.'
Doctor Who – The Tenth Doctor Adventures will be released in May 2016 - exclusively on the Big Finish website. Each of the three titles are available to pre-order separately today for just £10.99 on CD or £8.99 to download. A bundle of all three titles is also available for £25 on CD and £22 to download!

“Fighting alone this time – without their famous time-travelling scientific advisor – The Brigadier and Sarah Jane are hard pressed to decide who is friend or foe as they search for a missing Locus, which binds the Intelligence’s power. The battle is broadened when the Brigadier’s own family is threatened and UNIT faces a powerful new breed of Yeti!”
