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.
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…

September 10th, 2015 - 4:32pmJust 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?
booboo
September 10th, 2015 - 5:46pmthe “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

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!

April 27th, 2015 - 9:05pmLooking at the covers they all have the subtitle the Glamour Chronicles?
I think they’re going to be doing a trilogy 😀

April 27th, 2015 - 5:50pmI 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.

April 27th, 2015 - 3:55pmhope peter capaldi and jenna coleman read these
Doctorfan
April 27th, 2015 - 9:11pmI 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.
CelestialAgent
April 27th, 2015 - 9:32pmBoth 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 - 7:16amIf 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.

April 27th, 2015 - 2:41pmI think that ‘gallery’ Tom was hanging out in as curator was the TARDIS, the walls looked particularly TARDIS like…….

April 27th, 2015 - 12:47pmIs clara not in this then?

April 25th, 2015 - 10:17amHmm
The Fourth Doctor was The Curator (or future incarnation or something
The Eighth Doctor is now an Archeologist
I dibs the Seventh Doctor as a scuba diver!!!
Something goes here
April 25th, 2015 - 3:59pmThe Eighth Doctor?
Drewsko
April 25th, 2015 - 4:53pmAdam 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 - 4:55pmBesides, 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 - 5:56pmI 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 😛
