Big Finish 8th Doctor Adventures Causeway

Available to order from www.bigfinish.com

The Causeway awaits the Eighth Doctor

Paul McGann, India Fisher and Jaye Griffiths star in The Eighth Doctor Adventures: Causeway, a brand-new box set of full-cast audio drama, due for release November 2025.

Exploring with best friends Audacity and Charley, the Doctor delights in showing them the wonders of the universe. But something dogs their footsteps…

On a dangerous expedition into deep space, at an anachronistic business venture in Copenhagen, and meeting visitors from another reality, the TARDIS travellers begin to unravel the mystery of the Causeway…

There are brand-new adventures for the Eighth Doctor (Paul McGann) and his companions – Edwardian adventuress Charley Pollard (India Fisher) and Regency aristocrat Lady Audacity Montague (Jaye Griffiths) – in this November’s release Causeway.

The box set begins with a trip out into the far reaches of space, where Audacity realises the great dangers that come with life in the TARDIS. Then, in the vein of City of Death and Arc of Infinity, the travellers take a European excursion, enjoying the sights of Copenhagen. And everywhere they go, the Causeway is calling…

But what is the Causeway? Producer David Richardson explains: “The Eighth Doctor has been following a scent for some time, although listeners may not even have noticed. The word ‘Causeway’ has been seeded throughout his adventures with Charley and Audacity, and now their destination is the Causeway itself… Worlds will collide, and for one of the TARDIS team, life will never be the same again.”

Doctor Who – The Eighth Doctor Adventures: Causeway is available to pre-order now for just £19.99 (download to own) or £24.99 (download to own + collector’s edition 3-disc CD box set). Please note: the collector’s edition CD box set is strictly limited to 1,500 copies and will not be repressed.

The Eighth Doctor’s latest excellent adventures are:

Lost Amongst the Stars by Rochana Patel

• The Doctor wants to find a challenge for Charley and Audacity. All of time and space awaits, with wonders beyond their wildest dreams and darkest nightmares, but are they truly ready to venture further out amongst the stars?

The Time You Never Had – Parts One and Two by Tim Foley

• The yesterday of opulence
  Tomorrow soft and ironclad
  Beyond the merry Oculus:
  The time you never had.

The Time You Never Had guest stars Richard Hope – who played Silurian characters in Doctor Who TV episodes The Hungry Earth, Cold Blood, and The Wedding of River Song, and once again plays a Homo reptilia, the enigmatic Mr Barabbas.

The box set’s cast also includes Nicholas Khan, Bee Menabny, Robert Whitelock, Obioma Ugoala, Andrew Wincott, Poppy Miller, and Henrietta Wolfmountain.

Writer Rochana Patel said: “I particularly enjoy the dynamic between Charley and Audacity, as this is the only series where you have two female historical companions, exploring time and history together, and that is a very special and unique window on the universe. But it’s very easy for this range to become cosy, because we know two of our leads are safe. So I put Audacity through hell in this one!”

Praise for the previous Eighth Doctor Adventures box set, Deadly Strangers:

“The dynamic forming between the Doctor, Charley and Audacity, which felt particularly well done here, only continues to make them one of the best audio TARDIS teams in recent years.” – Who Review

“Paul McGann is reliving his Doctor’s youthful vigour, unburdened by the battles that are still to come, and it’s great to hear.” – CultBox

“Three more hugely entertaining adventures. They were each an early Christmas gift I didn’t know I wanted.” – Sci-Fi Pulse

A further Eighth Doctor Adventures box set (Title TBA) will follow in December 2025. Both can be pre-ordered together in a multibuy bundle from just £38 (download to own) or £47 (download to own + collector’s edition CD).

Alternatively, listeners can buy this release as part of a bundle of all 15 Classic Doctor Who box sets released in 2025 for £335 (collector’s edition CD box sets + downloads) or £275 (downloads only).
