Big Finish Update
Thursday, 10 January 2008 - Reported by Jarrod Cooper
Big Finish Productions has announced some new releases and projects for 2008. Recently. they have begun experimenting with online digital downloads. Currently the only title available though this method is Phantom of the Opera. The forthcoming Stargate series is slated to feature this as well. There is currently no announcement on the Doctor Who line being released in this way.
Doctor Who Magazine Issue 393 will include a free Fifth Doctor audio adventure, Cuddlesome. Written by Nigel Fairs, it is a chilling tale of cute 1980s nostalgia toys for grown-ups taking on a life of their own.
The second season of adventures for the Eighth Doctor and Lucie Miller begin in January with Dead London by Pat Mills. The cover for this title can be found below.
Information on the Sixth Doctor release for January, The Condemned, can be found by clicking on the Spoiler Tagbelow.
Meanwhile, Nigel Fairs, producer of the Tomorrow People range at Big Finish, has confirmed to the Doctor Who Forum that the sixth series of The Tomorrow People has been cancelled due to factors beyond their control. The previous audio CD adventures in this range have been removed from their website.
The Condemned will be the first release to feature India Fisher alongside the Sixth Doctor. Charley Pollard, played by Fisher, was last seen getting into the Sixth Doctor's Tardis at the end of The Girl Who Never Was. The blurb for this story is as follows:
Dr John Smith – you’re under arrest. You do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defence if you do not mention when questioned something which you later rely on in court..."
Manchester, 2008. The TARDIS lands inside a run-down tower block, beside a dead body – which leads to some awkward questions when the Doctor is found there by the police. Made the prime suspect, how can the Doctor prove to the no-nonsense DI Patricia Menzies that this is not the open-and-shut case it seems, and that she’s actually investigating the death of an alien?
Higher up in Ackley House, a girl named Maxine watches the Doctor being taken away in a squad car. Someone wants her to find out what happened in that room, and isn’t going to be happy if she doesn’t come up with the goods. But she’s got hold of someone who knows – someone very important to the Doctor.
A deadly conspiracy is at work – one whose effects will be felt far beyond the walls of Ackley House…
