Big Finish Special The Worlds of Doctor Who

The Worlds of Doctor Who

This year, Big Finish will have been making Doctor Who audio adventures for 15 years.

To celebrate this landmark we are releasing a special story in November, The Worlds of Doctor Who, which tells one epic four-hour adventure that weaves through many of our ranges.

Linking these episodes together is the enigmatic, wholly dangerous Mr Rees, who is played by Jamie Glover.

Doctor Who fans may recognize Jamie for playing William Russell in Mark Gatiss’s acclaimed An Adventure in Time and Space.

1: Mind Games by Justin Richards
In Victorian England, Henry Gordon Jago and Professor Litefoot investigate worrying events on the streets of London – which seem to be linked to the New Regency Theatre’s resident act, the mesmerist Mr Rees…

2: The Reesinger Process by Justin Richards
London, 1964, and the repercussions of Jago and Litefoot’s adventure are dealt with by Sir Toby Kinsella and his crack team of specialists at Counter-Measures. What is the Reesigner Process – and who is behind it?

3: The Screaming Skull by Jonathan Morris
Disgraced soldiers Ruth Matheson and Charlie Sato are called back into action by Captain Mike Yates, when the UNIT Vault is mysteriously locked down by a deadly force. Together they must infiltrate the Vault and get those trapped out alive. But what enemy are they facing?

4: Second Sight by Nick Wallace and Justin Richards
The actions of Mr Rees have alerted the Time Lords of Gallifrey, and Romana has assigned her best warrior. Independently, the Sixth Doctor has arrived on Earth. A power from the dawn of the Universe is about to be unleashed once more…

The Worlds of Doctor Who stars Colin Baker, Louise Jameson, Lalla Ward, Richard Franklin, Christopher Benjamin, Trevor Baxter, Lisa Bowerman, Conrad Asquith, Simon Williams, Pamela Salem, Karen Gledhill, Hugh Ross, Daphne Ashbrook, Yee Jee Tso and Jamie Glover.

It is produced by David Richardson, directed by Ken Bentley, script edited by Matt Fitton with sound design and music by Howard Carter. Executive producers are Jason Haigh-Ellery and Nicholas Briggs.

It will be released in October in a spectacular large format box with a lavish booklet, containing exclusive studio photography and art. The five discs include an hour-long documentary with interviews with all the cast.
