This run of stories featuring Tom Baker as the Fourth Doctor
features four stories, loosely connected as the Doctor finds
himself the target of an enemy. This set contains: The Sinestran
Kill by Andrew Smith. When the Doctor decides to trace an anomalous
energy signature on twentieth century Earth, he stumbles into an
assassination attempt. Gangland thugs are trying to murder a
seemingly innocent shopkeeper, and it's only the intervention of
the Doctor and Ann Kelso - a WPC who happens to be on the scene -
that prevents a tragedy. But why do the gangsters want the
shopkeeper dead? And what does this have to do with alien
technology? The first stages of a grand conspiracy are about to be
revealed. And finding the answers will take Ann Kelso on a journey
like no other. Planet of the Drashigs by Phil Mulryne. When the
TARDIS lands on an alien planet, the Doctor's intentions to show
Ann Kelso an advanced future society are thrown into disarray.
Because they have arrived on DrashigWorld - a park where every
known species of the terrifying predators has been gathered
together to entertain and thrill the public. The familiar wetland
Drashigs, the albino burrowing Drashigs of the desert, and
deadliest of all, the tiny Emerald Drashigs of the rain forests.
And it's not the best day to have arrived. The park has been shut
down due to a visitor fatality. A Galactic Attractions inspector is
on site meaning everyone is extremely tense and under pressure.
It's exactly the right circumstances in which someone might make a
mistake. And on Drashigworld, mistakes are deadly. The Enchantress
of Numbers by Simon Barnard and Paul Morris. The TARDIS lands in
the grounds of Newstead Abbey, Nottinghamshire, in 1850. Mistaken
for a medic and his maid, the Doctor and Ann are brought to meet

who has recently fallen ill. But the travellers are not here by
chance. Something odd is happening on Earth, and they've determined
that this place is the centre of it. Strange figures are walking
the land. Strange figures wearing bird-like masks. What do they
want with Ada? And how will it change the future of humanity? The
False Guardian by Guy Adams. Ann Kelso doesn't like mysteries. Keen
to investigate the trail of the Sinestrans, she sets the TARDIS on
a new course... but flies into danger. Arriving on a desolate world
that the Doctor finds somehow familiar, the TARDIS crew discover
that something is wrong with time. The inhabitants of an unusual
complex are experimenting at the command of their enigmatic
director... somebody who has quite a strong grudge against the
Doctor.Facing an old foe who was presumed dead, the travellers are
soon trapped in a diabolical scheme. But is it just the tip of the
iceberg? Planet of the Drashigs features the eponymous flesh-eating

River Song has many ways to amuse herself away from her husband.
And with access to the Doctor's diary, she knows exactly when he
might be around, and when best to slip in unnoticed and liberate
valuable trinkets...But first of all, she must ensure he makes it
out of Totters Lane alive! An Unearthly Woman by Matt Fitton. Coal
Hill School has a new member of staff: an educated woman, who seems
to specialise in every subject. Meanwhile, teachers Ian Chesterton

pupils. Susan Foreman is intrigued by Dr Song, but something else
is stalking her in the darkness and fog of London, 1963... The Web
of Time by John Dorney. The capital has been evacuated. Monsters
stalk the Underground. For River, it's the perfect opportunity to
steal a priceless artwork, so long as she can avoid looters,
soldiers and an alien invasion. With the gallant Captain Knight at
her side, River faces the Great Intelligence and its Yeti army. But
her biggest challenge may be keeping time itself on track. Peepshow
by Guy Adams. Miniscope parts fetch quite a price on the open
market - luckily, River knows where she can find one that's about
to be decommissioned. Unfortunately, this particular miniscope is
chock-full of aliens, as well as unsuspecting Earthlings. River
must face a carnival of monsters before she can claim her prize -
across miniature habitats, Ogrons, Sontarans and Drashigs await!

on the trail of anachronistic technology. But when young women are
stolen from the streets, she takes a stand. River's investigation

Four brand new stories featuring the investigators of infernal
incidents, in one box set: 1. JAGO AND SON by Nigel Fairs. With
missing persons, dead bodies and a Satanist cult to deal with, both
Litefoot and Jago need help. Professor Litefoot finds himself
working with Jean Bazemore, an old archaeologist friend. Jago,
however, finds he is assisted by someone he never even knew existed
- his own son. Or is he? Can Jago be sure of anything? But there is
more to events than the detectives know. An alien menace is
stirring underground. Once again, Jago and Litefoot find themselves
fighting for their lives...2. MAURICE by Matthew Sweet. As he
tightens his grip on Inspector Quick, the Master becomes interested
in the young composer Maurice Ravel. For his part, Ravel befriends
Professor Litefoot. But is anyone truly who they seem or able to
control their own destiny and actions? When Litefoot goes missing,
it's up to Jago to investigate. But the Professor finds himself in
a nightmare landscape where reality and fiction seem to have
merged. Will he ever manage to escape? And if the real Maurice
Ravel is trapped with Litefoot, who exactly is walking the streets
of London? 3. THE WOMAN IN WHITE by Simon Barnard and Paul Morris.
The great actor Henry Irving is not as great as he once was. In
fact, he's awful - a shadow of his former self. Worried that
something may be terribly wrong, Irving's assistant Bram Stoker
enlists the help of an old friend - Henry Gordon Jago. With
Irving's state deteriorating, Professor Litefoot also faces a
challenge. He performs an autopsy on a man who has had all his
bodily fluids drained from him. Can the detectives discover the
connection between the great actor and the mysterious dehydrated
corpse? And how does it relate to the Woman in White who supposedly
haunts Irving's theatre? 4. MASTERPIECE by Justin Richards. The
Master's plan is nearing completion - and he is sure that Jago and
Litefoot will help him bring it to fruition. With Inspector Quick
increasingly under the Master's influence, the Infernal
Investigators find themselves tired and fatigued, as if their very
life force is being drained away...With the help of Ellie together
with stage hypnotist Madame Sosostris and her assistant Mr
Nocturne, Jago and Litefoot finally track down the Master. But as
they make their way towards his lair, the Time Lord's true scheme
is revealed. This is the eleventh of an incredibly popular audio
spin-off series of two Doctor Who characters first encountered in
hit story The Talons of Weng-Chiang in 1977. The characters were

deck. When at last the day's work is done, Hargreaves will dim the
lights in the sleeping quarters. But no-one will sleep aboard the
Aquitaine tonight. Because the Aquitaine's crew is missing. But
today will be different. Today, a space/time ship called the TARDIS

Four brand new stories featuring the investigators of infernal
incidents, in one box set. Someone from the future has arrived in
Victorian London on the trail of a renegade...but that trail leads
them to Henry Gordon Jago and Professor Litefoot. So begins an
adventure that will propel the Infernal Investigators into unknown
territory, and an encounter with two people they should avoid at
all costs. Themselves. Four more cases for the Infernal
Investigators: 13.1: The Stuff of Nightmares by Paul Morris.
Litefoot and Jago are both suffering from strange waking
nightmares. They resort to hypnotherapy to try to diagnose the
problem. But meanwhile a Time Agent is looking for them - as a way
of tracking down the notorious criminal Magnus Greel. Before they
know what is happening, our heroes find themselves trapped in a
dystopian future where nothing makes sense any more. 13.2: Chapel
of Night by Jonathan Barnes. Trapped in a parallel world, Jago and
Litefoot are enlisted to help Inspector Quick investigate the
mysterious Chapel of Night run by Mrs Bartholomew. Needless to say,
there is more to the chapel - and Mrs Bartholomew - than there
initially seems. Soon our heroes are caught up in another
horrifying and dangerous adventure. But more to the point, can they
ever get back to their own world again? 13.3: How The Other Half
Lives by Matthew Sweet. Perhaps inevitably, Jago and Litefoot meet
their counterparts in the world where they now find themselves. The
Litefoot in this world still owns Greel's time cabinet, while Jago
is also married to Xiu Xiu, a bar maid. But Greel's cabinet is not
the only thing to survive from his time in this world - there is
also a giant rat on the loose in the sewers beneath London. 13.4:
Too Much Reality by Justin Richards. Jago and Litefoot meet their
equivalent infernal investigators in this world - Aubrey and
Betterman. Together they investigate sightings of a strange 'demon'
and bodies that mysteriously fade away. Before long they discover a
crashed spaceship, and find out the truth behind Mrs Bartholomew
and the Chapel of Night. But even with this mystery solved, will
they be able to get home again? This is the thirteenth of an
incredibly popular audio spin-off series of two Doctor Who
characters first encountered in hit story The Talons of Weng-Chiang
in 1977. The characters were created by Robert Holmes, widely

Four brand new stories featuring the investigators of infernal
incidents, in one box set. 12.1: Picture This (by Justin Richards).
An art gallery is robbed, and the curator killed. That might not
seem of interest to Jago and Litefoot. But this is the fabled
Scarlet Gallery - where the paintings are said to be haunted. And
the curator has been drained of blood, as if killed by a vampire.
Bizarrely, the only painting that has been stolen is in itself
quite unremarkable compared with the others in the gallery. But
even so, Jago and Litefoot soon find themselves caught up in events
that could end in their deaths - or worse...12.2: The Flickermen
(by Paul Morris & Simon Barnard). Jago is rather scathing of
the new art of cinematography. Even so, he accompanies Litefoot to
see a demonstration at a fairground. But this is no ordinary film.
Can creatures live inside the film - or even escape from it? Ellie
recalls childhood stories about the 'Flickermen', and elsewhere
people start to flicker in and out of existence. By the end of
their adventure, Jago and Litefoot will themselves be film stars.
But what they see when the film of them is shown will give them
both pause for thought...1 2.3: School of Blood (by Paul Morris).
Acting on a tip off about the possible source of the vampiric
murders that are now plaguing London, Jago and Litefoot investigate
a girls' school. Due to a misunderstanding, Litefoot finds himself
offered a job at the school, while Jago keeps watch on Ellie who
they both think is behaving oddly. But before long, they both
discover that all is not as it should be at the school. Can Jago
and Litefoot track down the vampire before it claims more innocent
victims? 12.4: Warm Blood (by Justin Richards). Ellie tells Jago
and Litefoot that she has been in contact with a group of vampires
and can lead the investigators to them. But can they trust her?
With more victims turning up, Jago, Litefoot and Ellie make their
way to a house that is supposed to be haunted, and which could be
the vampires' base of operations. But what they find there will
surprise and horrify Jago and Litefoot. Can they survive their
encounter with the vampires when the Old One has decided that they
must die? This is the twelfth of an incredibly popular audio
spin-off series of two Doctor Who characters first encountered in

Four adventures from the New Earth setting of TV's episodes The End
of the World, New Earth and Gridlock. Five billion years in the
future, after the end of the world in the year 5.5/apple/26: New
Earth is the second hope of humankind. Post- Gridlock, Senator Hame
is working to restore her home. The cities, forests and skies teem
with strange and wonderful species. Some trace their ancestry back
to Old Earth, others came later, but all have their own agendas,
and their rivalries. Now an ancient, powerful force has New Earth
in its sights, and everyone must work together to beat it. 1.1
Escape From New New York by Roy Gill. Devon Pryce has lived all his
life in the high rises of New New York. A child of the Elevator
Guild, he now receives a new calling - from a cat. Senator Hame is
trying to rebuild society, to make it stronger for future
generations, but there are those who would stand in her way. There
is a new danger on New Earth, and Devon's work is only just
beginning. 1.2 Death in the New Forest by Roland Moore. On his
first mission for Senator Hame, Devon crosses continents to arrive
in the New Forest and meet its people. Trees are dying of unnatural
causes. Sapling Vale, a cutting of the noble Jabe of the Forest of
Cheem, will help Devon investigate the threat to her people. So too
will an alien, an old friend of New Earth... a time traveller known
as the Doctor! 1.3 The Skies of New Earth by Paul Morris. Devon's
work takes him into the skies of New Earth and the great floating
city of New Caelum. Here, a new energy project is exploited by
alien powers, and a terrible catastrophe looms. Helped once again
by the Doctor, Devon calls on the Bird People of Nest City, as well
as the great Solar Bears on their Ice Clouds to stop disaster. But
can the people of the skies put aside their rivalries long enough
to make a difference? 1.4 The Cats of New Cairo by Matt Fitton.
Senator Hame is summoned to New Cairo by the spiritual leader of
Catkind: the Most Exalted High Persian - a personage of great power
and wisdom - to report on her investigations. Here, the camel-like
Dromedans still worship Catkind, in the shadows of vast Octahedrons
and temples of light. But Hame and Devon have uncovered a
conspiracy that threatens the future of everyone on the planet. The
battle for control of New Earth is about to begin. Big Finish have

Winston Churchill first encountered the Doctor on TV in Victory of
the Daleks, the two men clearly old friends who had shared past
adventures - now Big Finish get to show those moments! Young
Winston by Paul Morris. London, 1899. After spending time in
warzones abroad, Winston Churchill considers a Parliamentary
career. But a memento from his visit to Cuba, four years earlier,
returns to haunt him. Across the city, the Great Detective has a
mysterious caller, all the way from Havana. As ruthless mercenaries
wield alien powers, young Winston and Madame Vastra learn they have
a mutual friend - an eccentric young man, sporting a bowtie. Human
Conflict by Iain McLaughlin 1941. The Prime Minister has much on
his mind as London reels from the Blitz. When a daring mission to
discover Nazi secrets bears unexpected results, Churchill heads
north to retrieve technology that could win the war. But an old
ally is set against his intent. Weary from his own people's
conflict, the Doctor knows that some weapons should never enter the
field of human conflict. I Was Churchill's Double by Alan Barnes.
Alexandra Palace, 1942. Strange television signals show a paranoid
Churchill urging on the resistance in German-occupied Britain. A
man in a battered leather jacket makes a guest appearance. The
broadcasts come from another world, one where the country is now
part of the Kaiser's Empire. Of course, the Doctor is involved, and
while Churchill claims to understand the notion of `alternative
histories', he never expected to be part of one. Churchill
Victorious by Robert Khan & Tom Salinsky. VE Day, 1945. The war
is over. The PM has seen the crowds, and made his speech. Now he
wishes to soak up the atmosphere, moving incognito among his fellow
countrymen. But an alien interloper lurks in a backstreet tavern,
and `William Churchyard' must lead a few plucky Londoners into one
more fight. The Doctor is in trouble, and at the time of his
greatest victory, Churchill also faces his greatest danger. Ian
McNeice reprises his Churchill role from TV's Doctor Who, but he's
also very familiar from roles in such shows as Doc Martin, Children
of Dune, and Stay Lucky. Neve McInosh plays the rehabilitated
Silurian warrior Madame Vastra, as seen opposite Matt Smith and
Peter Capaldi in Doctor Who on TV. CAST: Ian McNeice (Winston
Churchill), Neve McIntosh (Madame Vastra), Iain Batchelor (Young
Winston), Melody Grove (Carmen /Housekeeper),Owen Aaronovitch (Luis
Ortega), Leighton Pugh (Reggie / Jorge / Clerk), Gyuri Sarossy (Lt
Fleming), Bethan Walker (Bragnar), James Joyce (Connolly), Ken
Bradshaw (Colonel Fischer), Emily Woodward (Louisa), Hywel Morgan
(Von Moltke), Roberta Taylor (Maid), Mark Elstob (John Logie Baird
/ Kaiser Wilhem III), Nicholas Asbury (Visguard / Captain Morgan /
Special Branch Officer), Alisdair Simpson (Sidney Wheeler / Field
Marshal Brooke), Susan Tracy (Diane Wheeler / Miss Cunningham),
Simon Chandler (Corporal Arthur Dimes).
