Doctor Who: Day of the Cockroach Audio CD
Doctor Who: Day of the Cockroach
A dimly-lit underground bunker is the scene for the Eleventh Doctor’s latest thrilling adventure, as May sees the release of brand new audio original The Day of the Cockroach. Written specially for AudioGO by Steve Lyons, it is read by Arthur Darvill, who plays Rory in the hit TV series.
The TARDIS materialises in a pitch-dark tunnel, where the Doctor, Amy and Rory stumble on the dead body of a soldier. Questioned by his superior officer, Colonel Bowe, they learn that they’re inside a British nuclear bunker, in the middle of an atomic war – in 1982.
Amy and Rory weren’t even born then, but they know the bomb didn’t drop that year, and so does the Doctor. The friends also know they had nothing to do with the death of Sergeant Trott – so who, or what, was the killer? And why does the Doctor’s psychic paper not work on the Colonel?
The Doctor, Amy and Rory soon learn that something else is lurking in the shadows. Something deadly…
Written specially for audio by Steve Lyons, Day of the Cockroach features the Doctor, Amy and Rory as played by Matt Smith, Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill in the acclaimed hit series from BBC Television.
Due for release on 03/05/2012

Give me a Dalek any day
May 9th, 2012 - 10:55pmFinished it earlier! Really good! Here are 6 teasers I randomly drew up:
1.) There’s a reference to The Girl in the Fireplace
2.) Time Can Be Rewritten
3.) Upper Leadworth gets mentioned
4.) The Doctor’s got it wrong-AGAIN!
5.) There’s a fair bit of humour in this Audiobook
6.) Judging by the spooky music at the end and Arthur Darvill’s excellent line delivery, it’s possible there will be a sequel 🙂

April 5th, 2012 - 1:06pmThe lastest DWM confirms that Raquel Cassidy, who also read The Art of Death, will be reading The Nu-Humans.
Also, there will be a new Eleventh Doctor audio in November called Sleepers in the Dust. It will be written by Darren Jones and will be some sort of a sequel to last years The Eye of the Jungle.

March 28th, 2012 - 5:10pmNot too sure about the title – ‘Day of the Cockroach’! There are great episodes with that that starter for a title – ‘Day of the Daleks’, ‘Day of the Moon’. I’m sure it’ll be a great story but the title is just appalling.

March 27th, 2012 - 8:00pmi’d buy this,sounds interesting.
McGann is the Doctor
March 27th, 2012 - 3:06pmFinally ! One I can actually get.
The last weren’t read by Matt Smith, so I didn’t bother.
Sherlock
March 27th, 2012 - 3:55pmSo why are you getting this as it is read by Arthur Darvill (Rory)?
McGann is the Doctor
March 28th, 2012 - 8:53amWell, he’s part of the Tardis team in this episode, so it will be more authentic.
I don’t like the idea of reading a story where none of the characters are played by some other actor. ❗
Give me a Dalek any day
March 27th, 2012 - 2:34pmYay!!! Someone from the main cast is reading it! Here’s hoping that Matt Smith will be reading The Nu-Humans! It’s been a while since I’ve heard his Amy impression! 😉
matt smithy
March 28th, 2012 - 3:59pmI can remember it from the runaway train audio he did!
Give me a Dalek any day
March 28th, 2012 - 4:38pmSo can I, but we need to hear it fresh again. And we still haven’t heard his Rory impression!
But Matt is a busy man, he’ll be filming till about December this time and he’ll probably only have about a month or so off after that before he goes back to film the 50th Anniversary.

March 28th, 2012 - 3:49pmCommander Strax, are you talking about The Nu-Humans or Night of the Humans. If you’re talking about The Nu-Humans then how can you have it if it isn’t due for release untill 5th July?
