Doctor Who 12th Doctor Novel Big Bang Generation

Available to order from www.amazon.co.uk

You can also order the Audio CD from www.amazon.co.uk

“I’m an archaeologist, but probably not the one you were expecting.”

Christmas 2015, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.

Imagine everyone’s surprise when a time portal opens up in Sydney Cove. Imagine their shock as a massive pyramid now sits beside the Harbour Bridge, inconveniently blocking Port Jackson and glowing with energy.

big-bang-generation

Imagine their fear as Cyrrus “the mobster” Globb, Professor Horace Jaanson and an alien assassin called Kik arrive to claim the glowing pyramid. Finally imagine everyone’s dismay when they are followed by a bunch of con artists out to spring their greatest grift yet.

This gang consists of Legs (the sexy comedian), Dog Boy (providing protection and firepower), Shortie (handling logistics), Da Trowel (in charge of excavation and history) and their leader, Doc (busy making sure the universe isn’t destroyed in an explosion that makes the Big Bang look like a damp squib).

And when someone accidentally reawakens The Ancients of Time – which, Doc reckons, wasn’t the wisest or best-judged of actions – things get a whole lot more complicated…

    Just been sent out to me from the BBCShop & now saying “Big Bang Generation” out of stock. Haven’t been sent the other two but ordered all 3 at the same time, so don’t really know what is going on? My email say’s the other 2 are now Back-Ordered, but on their website say’s out of stock?

    Can’t understand this as I pre-ordered months ago & should have been first in line for stock?

      the “email me when back in stock” usually happens when something hasn’t arrived by its due date, this has just happened to several 50/50 items they are showing

      bit odd on the books though they are out

    Archaeologist?
    BERNICE SUMMERFIELD! IT MUST BE.
    HERE’S WHAT I THINK
    Legs is Clara, Dog Boy is Peter (Benny’s son), Shortie is… I don’t know, ask someone else, mabye Ruth or something?, Da Trowel is Bernice herself and their leader, Doc is… well, the Doctor of course!

    Pre-ordered all these from BBCSHOP yesterday, as well as buying the Fendahl figure set. Good time to pre-order now with the 15% discount.

    Looking at the covers they all have the subtitle the Glamour Chronicles?
    I think they’re going to be doing a trilogy 😀

    I believe Clara is still in this because she is in the whole of series 9 and these books take place during series 9. Plus she was’nt on the Silhouette front cover last year.

      hope peter capaldi and jenna coleman read these

    • Doctorfan

      April 27th, 2015 - 9:11pm

      I think Jenna Coleman should read deep time with Peter doing the doctors lines Peter capaldi should read big bang generation and Jenna doing the lines of Clara and Peter should read royal blood and Jenna should do the lines of Clara with the covers saying read by Peter capaldi and Jenna coleman or vice versa depending on who is reading most of it. Bilbo do you think this could happen.I hope it does.

      Both are working on Doctor Who 9 months of the year, carry quite high fees and unike Matt Smith Capaldi made a name for himself before Doctor Who. I doubt it’s going to happen.

    • Doctorfan

      April 28th, 2015 - 7:16am

      If that can’t happen then Jenna Coleman should read royal blood with Peter Capadi doing the doctors voice and other people read the other ones perhaps even get Trevor baxondale and Gary Russel to read the books they wrote.

    I think that ‘gallery’ Tom was hanging out in as curator was the TARDIS, the walls looked particularly TARDIS like…….

      The Eighth Doctor?

    • Drewsko

      April 25th, 2015 - 4:53pm

      Adam here’s probably assuming this book is actually an Eighth Doctor story thanks to the quote referencing his Night of the Doctor line. Have to admit, it seems possible since we don’t have a cover yet and it could be a cool surprise, plus there’s nothing directly referring to Clara. Still, I wouldn’t bet on it, so I wouldn’t get my hopes up if I were you. Just expect Capaldi as always.

    • Drewsko

      April 25th, 2015 - 4:55pm

      Besides, this is still filed as a Twelfth Doctor novel, and refers to the man “as played by Peter Capaldi” on Amazon, so it’s a theory with fair counter-arguements.

    • AdamTheUltimateWhovian

      April 25th, 2015 - 5:56pm

      I know it’s a 12th Doctor story. I joked about how if Tom Baker was the Curator in one story you here could have Paul McGann as an archaeologist who meets the 12th Doctor 😛
