Big Finish Update

The latest issue of Doctor Who Magazine included titles and plot details for the Doctor Who audios for the rest of the year...

Renaissance of the Daleks from a story by Christopher H Bidmead. Slated for release this month, this story sees the Doctor and Nyssa do battle with Daleks in Rhodes, America, Vietnam, and the 'Pantemporal Ambience'.

April's release contains two stories. The first is I.D. by Eddie Robson, which features the Sixth Doctor in the thirty-second century stumbling across organic-digital interfacing, personality surgery and an army of Scandroids on a planet piled high with technological junk. Urgent Calls is the second story on this release, and is the first of the new one-part 'Virus Strand' stories. This story sees the Doctor learning that one phonecall can change everything...

May also has a dual-story release, starting with Exotron by Paul S Sutton. Here the Fifth Doctor and Peri are menaced by the ravening Farakosh in a tale of broken hearts and bioengineered nightmares. Urban Myths finishes out the release with a tale of planetary destruction and culinary confusions.

Marc Platt brings us Valhalla in June, in which the Seventh Doctor finds himself without a companion on a moon of Jupiter.

Dual-releases return in July with The Wishing Beast by Paul Magrs. In this three-part story, the Sixth Doctor is unexpectedly expected by some weird sisters. This release also includes The Vantiy Box, a single episode set in a cosy northern backstreet.

Nicholas Briggs shows us Frozen Time in August and lets us join the Seventh Doctor on an expedition to Antarctica with Lord Barset.

In September, Steve Lyons introduces the Fifth Doctor, Peri, and Erimem to Vlad the Impaler in Son of the Dragon.

The 100th Big Finish Doctor Who Release comes out in September. Earthstorm by Stephen Baxter gets the Sixth Doctor and Evelyn get caught up in a global catastrophe in 1963.

October brings Absolution for the Eighth Doctor, Charley and C'rizz. Written by Scott Alan Woodard, this story sees the companions reach a turning point in their lives.

Colin Brake shows us The Mind's Eye in November. The Fifth Doctor, Peri, and Erimem face life-changing experiences on a planet swarming with hostile lifeforms. There will also be a one-part adventure on this release that has yet to be confirmed.

The year ends in December with the Eighth Doctor and Charley meeting The Girl Who Never Was
