Big Finish The Ninth Doctor Adventures 4.01 Snare
Available to order from www.bigfinish.com
20 Years of the Ninth Doctor!
Marking two fantastic decades since the Ninth Doctor and Rose first met, story details are revealed today for their audio return starring Christopher Eccleston and Billie Piper.
On 26 March 2005, Rose Tyler’s life – and TV history – was changed forever. The Doctor rescued her from the deadly Autons, before inviting her into the TARDIS for a new life of adventure across time and space. Doctor Who was back, returning as a regular BBC TV fixture for the first time in more than a decade, and inspiring a new generation of fans.
Twenty years later, the adventures of Rose (Billie Piper) and the Ninth Doctor (Christopher Eccleston) continue in a brand-new series of full-cast audio drama. These twelve new stories are set within the timeline of their TV series together, between the events of the episodes Father’s Day and The Empty Child.
The trip of a lifetime begins again in August 2025 with Snare by Tim Foley.
Kevin left the Powell Estate a long time ago. He wasn’t going to be trapped there. But all these years later, he’s back and clearing out his dad’s old flat. At least his neighbours, the Tylers, are still here.
But Rose has a strange new man in her life. And this Doctor’s going to show Kevin a world he never knew existed. Unfortunately, something ancient is stirring on the Estate. Perhaps Kevin will be trapped here after all…
Doctor Who – The Ninth Doctor Adventures: Snare is now available to pre-order from just £9.99 (download to own) or £11.99 (download to own + collector’s edition CD), exclusively from www.bigfinish.com. Please note: the collector’s edition CD is strictly limited to 1,500 copies and will not be repressed.
The Ninth Doctor Adventures: Snare guest stars Camille Coduri as Jackie, Rose’s mother, Alex Austin as Kevin, a former Powell Estate resident, and Hannah Brown as Marlene, his posh artist friend.
Writer Tim Foley said: “I was a kid of the wilderness years, with a knapsack full of books and audios and videos, but 2005 saw actual Doctor Who actually broadcast on the actual telly. It was incredibly special for me then, and the Ninth Doctor and Rose continue to be incredibly special for me now. Wherever you are on the globe, you will surely have heard my whoops of joy when I was asked to write for this new series.
“It’s great to kick things off with Snare, a character-driven opener back on the Powell Estate. We’re picking up right after Father’s Day, where the family drama from that story still continues to make ripples. You’ll meet one of Rose’s old friends, Kevin, and learn what secrets are being hidden in his dad’s old flat. You’ll also encounter Jackie Tyler’s cooking, so stay strong.”
Snare is the first of twelve new audio adventures for the Ninth Doctor and Rose. A complete series multibuy bundle of all twelve releases is also available to pre-order at the specially discounted price of £102 (download to own) or £126 (download to own + collector’s edition CDs), exclusively from the Big Finish website.

February 17th, 2025 - 6:35pmGetting a bit fed up of Big Finish’s policy now of limiting their cds. I can’t afford to pre-order the whole lot at once just as they’ve done with 13th Dr ones. I get the cds each month when I’ve been paid. Worried now that by the time each one is released they’ll be sold out?
Was lucky getting the fugitive Dr set as that’s sold out now and is download only. Limiting the cds is just opening it up to the EBay scalpers to charge ridiculous prices for them.
Coupled with their ridiculous decision to release the new UNIT box sets on download only they’re steadily losing me as a loyal customer of over 25 years!

February 18th, 2025 - 9:00amSame here – so far I bundled the the releases and ordered them so i don’t have Pay a large sum at once – what i do not get is that even in some Ranges Some Are coriously Not Limited
It wouldnt be a Problem if you wouldmt be Charged in Advance but at Release –
So with this policy i Must Pay and preorder for war Master and war Doctor Release that will released in Fall 2026 and worse still not now if there unannounced releases on top
More then 2 alphabets
February 18th, 2025 - 10:46amCds have been being phased out for 5+ years now. Less then 8% of big finish sales are physical. They get more profit and reduce costs. The reduction is also reflective of consumer demand so blame the audience as much as BF. It’s sad people can’t afford to pre order straight away but this is a premium collectors item and like with all real collectors editions it’s low number
I’ve collected every cd and whilst it’s not great, it’s inevitable that one day it will be 100% DLO – 2027 by my calculations.

February 18th, 2025 - 12:38pmHi Timelord 63 and Sascha
The situation re CDs (4 vs3) no CDs vs A CD. Was addressed in one of the Vortex magazines. The producer of each range has a budget. That’s for Talent,facilities,sound designers and music. Depending on the budget,and release dates, a choice is made on CD replication. Which then needs art and backing page,booklet. Overtimes getting a prime Cast can take precedent over CD.
The other factor is storage. BF warehouse is big but if they have 100 copies of every CD they ever made,it would have to be bigger, much bigger. Add in the retail costs increasing,limiting the number of CDs to say 1000, gives BF more scope to have less space taken up with small amounts taking longer to shift.
**************
I would like a LTD collectors CD too for the Recent Unit Bambera sets. But the producer decided not to. Using the budget on what was written above. I wonder if a model could be found for print on demand of some items like UNIT Brave New World,which would cut the Ebay prices down for sure. But might cost BF more with faffing about at thier end.

March 27th, 2025 - 12:42amWhy don’t they do it as a print on demand bases. Do a launch release for preorders then they know how many to do. Either order and pay for the set OR order and payment is taken automatically upon release. Or just sell as a box set not individual release.
