Available to order from www.amazon.com
Discover what happened before . . .
What did Osgood do the morning of the Day of the Doctor?
What happened to Tegan before Arc of Infinity, and why does it involve strange sentient lights in the Australia outback?
What was the Tenth Doctor doing in a hall of mirrors, right before Planet of the Dead?
Answers to all these questions lie in an incredible collection of new Doctor Who short stories that give a glimpse into the moments just before we saw the Doctor step on screen.
From Skaro to Apalapucia, from a shop front drained of colour to Rassilon’s tomb, join a host of incredible adventures across the universe with Doctors, companions, friends and foes.

October 8th, 2024 - 12:29pmI really wish they would stop churning out Hardback novels with the terrible (What looks like some material?) covers which seem all rough around the edges. Just print the book decently with a proper Dust Jacket! I’m paying a lot for Hardbacks, so wish they would do a better job of it.

March 16th, 2024 - 11:27amThese projects depend on the spending power and willingness to buy anything with that character’s name on it, plus the backward-looking nostalgia engendered by the show’s post-Capaldi degeneration. I completely understand that. But some of the ideas explored by the Big Finish stories fire my enthusiasm a LOT more than reading about this book.

March 15th, 2024 - 3:30pmIm worried about these, cant they just let the characters rest between adventures: they dont need to on any adevnture , just strains credibility. . I thought Big Finish did these gaps to death anyway? Overegging the canon.

March 17th, 2024 - 12:29pmAgreed. I never liked how Big Finish completely saturates characters by squeezing in extra stories where they often clearly don’t belong. And this seems even worse.

March 15th, 2024 - 12:07pmThis confirms that the short story collections are not for me now. I’m sure others will enjoy it but it’s time to stick with just the individual books I actually want instead of feeling I need to have everything!

March 15th, 2024 - 11:53amThis sounds a little bit like the Target Storybook. It’s an interesting idea but one would ask why anyone would “want” to know these things

March 15th, 2024 - 10:45amHmmm find out how Turlough and Tegan made lunch during the Five Doctors? What the surgeon did when the 3rd Doctor nicked his car in Spearhead? Interesting idea but quite niche.
