■ May 2017, Big Finish will launch The Ninth Doctor Chronicles, the first strand of a brand-new range of audio adventures featuring the Ninth, Tenth and Eleventh Doctors.
The Doctor Chronicles tells original stories from across a different Doctor’s timeline. Each new tale is narrated by Nicholas Briggs – best known to television audiences as the voice of the Daleks and Cybermen – with additional cast members bringing other characters to life in each adventure.
“It’s a unique format,” says range producer Scott Handcock, “and one that allows Big Finish to explore new stories for the Doctor’s most recent incarnations while we’re waiting to get the original actors into studio. David Richardson and Matt Fitton have worked hard to assemble a really authentic set of scripts that evoke the era, and Helen Goldwyn’s direction, coupled with some stunning sound design, elevate these Chronicles above a straightforward reading.”
