Doom's Day is a multi-platform Doctor Who story to celebrate Doctor
Who’s 60th anniversary by introducing a brand-new character on a
24-hour pursuit of the Doctor. As Doom's final hours come into
sharp focus, she'll need to do whatever's necessary to complete her
missions, find the Doctor, and escape what increasingly seems like
the inevitable. But how best to find the person who can save Doom's
life? Will the Doctor's friends be her salvation? Or perhaps the
Doctor's enemies will be the route to survival? Doom is about to
travel across thousands of years of time, and lightyears of space
in search of her last, best hope. But even if she finds the Doctor,
will a person who is all about saving lives help a person whose
only job is to take them? Doom's day is almost over. Time is
running out. This could be the end. Contains four new adventures:
Dawn of an Everlasting Peace by Jacqueline Rayner. Venus, 3975. The
day of the non-aggression pact. The perfect ironic location for an
assassination! But Doom’s mission is about to become much more
complicated thanks to an explosive plot to undermine the treaty
itself. The Howling Wolves of Xan-Phear by Simon Clark. A warring
world of wolves. Doom’s target turns out to be the puppeteer of
the warring Xan: a Silent. But what if she’s already completed
her mission? How will she know? What if this wasn’t even her
mission in the first place? No time to waste. The countdown is on.
A Date with Destiny by Robert Valentine. A romantic dinner turns
life-threatening for an unsuspecting human in 2007. But this time,
Doom has competition. And if she loses, then her last chance to
find the Doctor could be snatched away. Cue an action-packed chase
through the streets of London. But has Doom met her match? The
Crowd by Lizzie Hopley. “Follow the crowd”, that’s what they
say, right? In this case, however, devastation, murder and
destruction follow this particular Crowd - Doom’s next target.
But amongst them - an unfamiliar face, with a familiar name. Could
this be Doom’s salvation?
Life on Bannerman Road was always an adventure for Rani Chandra and
her friends. A childhood of mystery and wonder, of meeting aliens,
time travellers, lost princes, intergalactic robots and so much
more – all alongside Sarah Jane Smith. Sarah Jane is gone.
Childhood ends. Everyone grows up eventually. But the story
doesn’t stop there. When Rani and Clyde are reunited, adventure
finds them once again – ready and waiting to take on the world!
Contains three new adventures; Here Today by Joseph Lidster. Years
after her adventures with Sarah Jane Smith and friends, Rani
Chandra is a successful journalist – she’s brought down a
government, and her podcast is making waves. And she’s about to
be surprised by a visit from her best friend, Clyde Langer – who
has an announcement of his own. But, tonight, Clyde isn’t the
only visitor to Ealing… In the skies above, a flying saucer
approaches – and only one person on Earth can stop it destroying
London! Destination: Wedding by James Goss. Rani and Gita Chandra
have been invited to a dream wedding on a luxury island resort. But
how did Tiff from school end up marrying a film star? And why has
she asked all the worst people from her life alongside the
Hollywood A-listers? While Gita samples the canapés and criticises
the flower arrangements, Rani senses something amiss… The perfect
wedding comes at a price – but who will be paying? The Witching
Tree by Lizzie Hopley. Chasing a podcast award, encouraged by a
secret source, Rani investigates a ‘haunted’ restaurant built
around a twisted tree. The owners could be faking the spooky
activity, but Rani soon realises the tree is not what it seems. As
a terrifying threat to planet Earth is revealed, Clyde and Phoenix
are dragged into the fight. Rani is torn between revealing the
truth, or keeping a secret too terrifying to broadcast....CAST:

Lincoln, the Doctor and Dodo are soon caught up in the battle
between Sheriff Nicholaa de la Haye and outlaw gangs in the nearby

Nicholaa is determined to provide them, whatever the efforts of
William of Berkshire and his gang of wolves’ heads… After
taking refuge in Lincoln Castle, the Doctor and Dodo are separated.
The Doctor is detained at the pleasure of the Sheriff, while Dodo
indulges her adventurous spirit and plays forest outlaw with
William’s gang. But William is not acting alone. The outlaws’
true leader knows the Doctor and has a plan for revenge. A man with
a passion for meddling. A man who wears a monk’s habit. Episode 2

environment for geological exploration on the North Yorkshire
coast. The Doctor is fascinated by the experiments of Professor
Medra on the Zechstein seabed, but Dodo is distracted. Didn’t her
family settle in this part of Yorkshire? As the Doctor delves
deeper into the work of Professor Medra, Dodo is helped by security

maddening, intriguing, but inevitable part. Their lives are
becoming inextricably intertwined, but in these early days - for
the Doctor, at least - they must navigate their relationship
without too many spoilers. Whatever her past, and the Doctor's
future, holds, River will make sure that he has fun untangling the
mystery. Episode.1: Expiry Dating by James Goss. The first time the
Doctor met River Song, he saw her die. And now she's asking him on
a date. Well, not a date, exactly ... More of a mission. But the
Doctor isn't at anyone's beck and call. Or so he thinks. With
billions of lives hanging in the balance, can the Doctor afford not
to do whatever River wants? Whichever one of him she asks?
Episode.2 Precious Annihilation by Lizzie Hopley. When jewels
become lethal in the London of 1912, both River and the Doctor turn
up to find out why. A mystery takes them centuries into the past,

mutiny. The star-crossed couple are about to find out that, while
gemstones inspire jealousy, love can be the deadliest treasure of
all...Episode 3: Ghosts by Jonathan Morris. River and the Doctor
meet on the most haunted planet in the galaxy. The Doctor's not

plague ravages the streets, turning people into deformed monsters.
The city's finest hotel is under siege. SS interrogator Grau has
come here to find out the truth. Grau has one night to cure the
plague and to unmask the mysterious Madame Berber and who she's
really working for. Herr Grau knows all about Project Hermod. And
now he's going to find out all about Torchwood.The huge and
long-running public interest in new Torchwood adventures resulted
in a server melt-down when its return on audio was announced by
star John Barrowman on his Sunday night radio slot.Across the
range, John Barrowman, Eve Myles, Kai Owen and Gareth David-Lloyd
have reprised the characters who starred in four years of hit
Doctor Who spin-off Torchwood, screened around the world - Gareth

in Cardiff that is still there to this day! Director Scott Handcock

of Dorian Gray series starring Alexander Vlahos (BBC's Versailles).

21st century relaunching of Doctor Who! Jemma Redgrave and Ingrid

cinema-screened Doctor Who - Day of the Doctor. This is the second
of a new four-box-set arc of adventures.

struggling to find a way back home... but has only found himself in
the middle of another war. A very familiar war, involving his
oldest enemies - and their malevolent creator. However, he's not
alone - as there are old friends here too. At least he thinks
they're old friends... but when the stakes are as high as this, can
he really be sure who to trust? What side are they truly on?

Doctor's attempts to return home have led him to the middle of a
war zone... and a familiar voice. The travellers have arrived on a
planet made up of crashed space-ships where they encounter River
Song... Or do they? Because she's dressed as a Movellan and claims
to be a member of that robot race. Is she undercover, a duplicate,
or something more sinister? And more importantly... who is her son?
3.2 The Dalek Defence by Matt Fitton. The Doctor and Anya are
trapped between battling Dalek and Movellan forces and only the
intervention of Earth can get them out of trouble. But the humans
have troubles too - and a very familiar prisoner, Davros. Stuck in
a universe before the Time War, the Doctor is bound by the rules of
his own past... Can he keep everyone alive without changing
history? And would he even want to? 3.3 The Triumph of Davros by
Matt Fitton. Returning to a familiar planet, with Movellan and
Dalek warships floating in the sky above, the stakes for the
time-travellers are higher than ever. The mistakes of the Doctor's
past are coming back to haunt him. Alliances are made and broken.

what's coming. But maybe, just maybe... he may be able to save his
friends. CAST: : David Tennant (The Doctor), Jane Slavin (Anya
