AudioGo's ongoing celebration of 50 Years of
Doctor Who reaches its penultimate adventure in October with the Tenth Doctor and Donna embroiled with
Death's Deal. Meanwhile the Sixth Doctor's trial continues in the second part of the Target novelisations of
The Trial of a Time Lord, whilst Louise Jameson takes listeners on a trip into the BBC Radio Archive to find
Lost Treasures.
Destiny of the Doctor: Death's DealStarring Catherine Tate, with Duncan Wisbey (pre-order)Responding to multiple maydays, the TARDIS lands on the planet of Death’s Deal, but the distress calls are old, the final echoes of terrified lost souls. This is an exotic world of lethal creatures, nicknamed ‘The Deadliest Planet in the Galaxy’, and only the brave, foolhardy or greedy would ever dare to visit.
Finding themselves stranded among a motley bunch of space-tourists, the Doctor and Donna must lead a struggle for survival against the frenzied wildlife, as they slowly realise that other members of the group have very different agendas.
And soon the Doctor learns of an even bigger threat hiding on Death’s Deal. Somewhere deep below the surface, is something that must never be unearthed.
Time is running out, and only an impossible survivor holds the key...
