Big Finish The Ninth Doctor Adventures 1.1 Ravagers
Available to order from www.bigfinish.com
Christopher Eccleston is the Doctor!
It’s the start of something fantastic – volume one of Doctor Who – The Ninth Doctor Adventures, starring Christopher Eccleston, is released today from Big Finish.
This box set of brand-new full cast audio adventures heralds the start of the Ninth Doctor’s era on audio, and features a voyage of discovery alongside new faces Nova (Camilla Beeput) and Audrey (Jayne McKenna), running into adventure at every twist and turn. This epic tale spans three episodes, all written by Big Finish’s Creative Director, Nicholas Briggs.
Christopher Eccleston said: “I’ve really enjoyed playing the Doctor again. As I’ve always said, he was always a joy to play. Somebody with that amount of optimism, enthusiasm and brains and heart – two hearts! It’s not something you get to do often.”
Doctor Who – The Ninth Doctor Adventures: Ravagers is now available exclusively at the Big Finish Website from just £19.99.
On the Sphere of Freedom, the Doctor is about to shut down an evil Immersive Games business empire. He’s assisted by a valiant galley chef called Nova. But his plan spectacularly fails…
Now, the Doctor must fight back to discover what could have caused everything to go so badly wrong. His journey takes him via Piccadilly Circus in 1959, Belgium 1815 and far flung future worlds where machine intelligences regard sentient life as mere biofuel.
Where does the mysterious old-timer Audrey fit in? Is the alien beverage Charganzi safe to drink? And is there really anything the Doctor can do to stop the entire universe from being devoured?
The cast is completed by Jamie Parker (1917, Valkyrie), Dan Starkey (The Paternoster Gang, Jago & Litefoot & Strax), Anjella Mackintosh (The Eleven, Timeslip), Ben Lee (Holmes & Watson), and Clare Corbett (Jenny – The Doctor’s Daughter).
Producer David Richardson said: “To think, sixteen years ago the Ninth Doctor reached out, grabbed Rose Tyler by the hand and told her to run off into new adventures. And now he’s back, grabbing us all by the hand and leading us off to whole new worlds, new friends and new foes. It’s Saturday teatime 2005 all over again… and it’s wonderful to have him back.”
Doctor Who fans worldwide can now pre-order all four volumes of The Ninth Doctor Adventures, which are available in three formats – collector’s edition CD, digital download or limited edition gatefold triple LP vinyl – exclusively from the Big Finish website at www.bigfinish.com.
Big Finish listeners can save by pre-ordering a bundle of the entire series for just £88 (as a collector’s edition box set) or £78 (as a download).
Doctor Who – The Ninth Doctor Adventures triple LP vinyls are strictly limited to a pressing of 1,000 per volume, and can be pre-ordered at £35.99 each, or £132 for the bundle of all four albums, again exclusively at the Big Finish website.
Please note: the vinyl editions do not include any behind-the-scenes extras. However, listeners purchasing vinyl LP editions will receive a download of the story automatically and be given access to the CD edits as a bonus download. Episodes will be edited specifically for the vinyl format, presented as 2 episodes, one on each side, each with opening and closing music. In addition, all pre-orders of the vinyls will also receive the behind the extras as a bonus download.

Seems more mellow?

May 20th, 2021 - 6:59pmReally good to have him back. Disappointed with the actual stories though. I thought that they were pretty incomprehensible/dull.

May 14th, 2021 - 7:51amI got an email about Dalek Universe last week. Presume will be same issue with 9th Doctor.
Due to factors beyond our control, we are currently experiencing supply issues from the EU, and this title has not yet been received at our warehouse.
We are truly sorry for any disappointment and the ongoing delays.
At the moment, we have not been given an estimated delivery date from the vinyl supplier but we will prioritise the shipping of your order as soon as we have the item.

March 6th, 2021 - 2:40pmYes! Christopher Eccleston in big finish as the 9th doctor!

March 6th, 2021 - 12:36amHope this time around he gets to volume 2

March 6th, 2021 - 12:00pmHe is. I’m hoping that after volume 4, he stays for a volume 5, 6, 7, 8 and so on.

January 14th, 2021 - 7:18pmwanna see him against the war master or missy and love to see the vcybermen and 9!!

March 5th, 2021 - 8:34pmNice as it would be for the Ninth Doctor to meet a Master, wouldn’t that stop him being surprised in Utopia? Unless they use the old Big Finish trope of wiping his memory at the end of the story of course.
Sam
March 6th, 2021 - 11:26amOr they can specify its a pre-time war master who the doctor has just happened to bump into. Maybe play on the fact that 9 sees his friend/rival ‘die’ in the future, have him grateful to see the master in but nostalgic and sad because he must once again stop his plan.
Nine Teas
May 13th, 2021 - 12:41pmYeah it could be an older Master than the Doctor manages to meet by some time disturbance or maybe he could meet the War Master and learn about him surviving, only for the encounter to somehow get erased after. It would be interesting to see Nine’s reaction, be it just for one episode, at finding another time lord still alive
Doctor Mysterio
January 11th, 2021 - 1:22pmHe’s back! And it’s about time. Big Finish have worked wonders here – thanks to Mr Briggs especially for keep flying the flag – and welcome back to Chris. Let’s hope for lots more adventures for Nine!

January 11th, 2021 - 11:53amI’m glad he’s come back to Dr Who
Michael Parsons
January 11th, 2021 - 9:29amcongratulations to Christopher Eccleston for making my year already for coming back massive doctor fan and Chris is the icing on the cake never say never regarding doctor who he was brilliant as the doctor and I am sure that these audio/s will be fantastic big finish has more output of doctor who than tv well done

January 10th, 2021 - 6:54pmThere are 4 volumes initially, I so hope that at least one of them would get Billie back. It seems unlikely but I can hope
Anonymous
March 6th, 2021 - 2:12pmShe has already recorded her own spin off series as well as recording with DT in the 10th Doctor Adventures so no reason why she can come back. Only problem with Billie now is her voice is completely different. It seems she us unable to replicate that South London accent now. When she did the 10th Doctor adventures she sounded too posh.

January 10th, 2021 - 1:36pmWelcome back number 9!

January 10th, 2021 - 1:52amHope we get a set with Chris Billie and John!
Mac
January 9th, 2021 - 9:28pmI reckon it’s set between The Doctor leaving Rose and Mickey in the alley, before coming back for Rose.
BeeptheMeep
January 9th, 2021 - 9:54pmNah, it’ll just be before Series 1
Doctor Stu
January 10th, 2021 - 12:33amYeh it’s got to be before series 1. That alley scene is basically two halves of a sentence. Him coming back to say ‘oh and by the way it travels in time as well’ it wouldn’t make sense if there was a big gap of adventures in between
MJS
January 10th, 2021 - 1:47pmOr…..some adventures with one off companions makes him realise he could do with a regular one a d goes back to when he left Rose “oh by the way…..”

January 10th, 2021 - 2:10pmYes MJS

August 12th, 2020 - 1:44pmIt kind of takes the excitement out of it by declaring that there are going to be four series, before the first one has been released.

August 13th, 2020 - 8:06amNo it shows that it isnt just a one of boxset, it does the complete opposite and makes it more exciting
SamWho
January 9th, 2021 - 9:16pmHow does more make you less excited? And They do 4 sets lots
Anonymous
January 9th, 2021 - 10:04pmAnd it could possibly be extended like the war master, the robots and presumably time war sets were.

January 10th, 2021 - 12:39amBut we knew that
