The brand new series sees the Doctor on fighting form as he comes up against an enemy of unimaginable power and horrific intent. The first story, The Stuff of Nightmares, will be available to buy from 3rd September 2009 priced at £9.78, with the remaining four stories due for release on:

Baker is often voted as the most popular Doctor by fans. Commenting on his performance, writer Paul Magrs said, “This is the first adventure with the Tom Baker Doctor since Logopolis. And it feels fantastic to write for him. I would say he’s a brilliant mixture of everything the Fourth Doctor ever was. He’s dark and sombre at times; other times he’s gleefully macabre and mischievous.”
