The Tenth Doctor, David Tennant is back for his very last audio reading Dead Air, written exclusively for BBC Audiobooks by James Goss. The audio adventure is available now priced at £8.99.

DOCTOR WHO: DEAD AIR
AVAILABLE NOW
RRP £8.99
ISBN 9781408426807

"Hello, I'm the Doctor. And, if you can hear this, then one of us is going to die."

At the bottom of the sea, in the wreck of a floating radio station, a lost recording has been discovered. After careful restoration, it is played for the first time – to reveal something incredible. It is the voice of the Doctor, broadcasting from Radio Bravo in 1966. He has travelled to Earth in search of the Hush – a terrible weapon that kills, silences and devours anything that makes noise – and has tracked it to a boat crewed by a team of pirate DJs. With the help of feisty Liverpudlian Layla and some groovy pop music, he must trap the Hush and destroy it – before it can escape and destroy the world...

Written specially for audio by James Goss and read by David Tennant, Dead Air features the Doctor as played by David Tennant in the acclaimed hit series from BBC Television.

Also Available:

DOCTOR WHO: LOGOPOLIS
Available NOW
RRP 12.99
ISBN: 9781408426968

In theory the TARDIS should be able to change its appearance to blend in unobtrusively wherever it happens to materialise. In practice, however, because of a fault in the chameleon circuit, it always looks like a police box – a minor inconvenience the Doctor hopes to correct.

Fixing the mechanism involves a visit to Earth and a trip to the planet Logopolis – normally a quiet little place that keeps itself to itself. But on this occasion the meddling presence of the Doctor’s arch-enemy, the Master, ensures the disruption of normality. And even the Master is horrified by the threat of total chaos he unintentionally precipitates – until he finds a way to turn the imminent destruction of the universe to his own advantage...

Christopher H. Bidmead reads his own thrilling novelisation of the last adventure for the Fourth Doctor.
DOCTOR WHO: CASTROVALVA
Available Now
RRP £12.99
ISBN: 9781408426975

Still weak and confused after his fourth regeneration, the Doctor retreats to Castrovalva to recuperate. But Castrovalva is not the haven of peace and tranquility the Doctor and his companions are seeking. Far from being able to rest quietly, the unsuspecting time-travellers are caught up once again in the evil machinations of the Master. Only an act of supreme self-sacrifice will enable them to escape the maniacal lunacy of the renegade Time Lord.

Peter Davison reads Christopher H. Bidmead's complete and unabridged novelisation, first published by Target Books in 1983.

BBC Worldwide Press Release: The Ice Warriors (22nd January 2010)


BBC Worldwide have issued a press release for the release of the latest in their collection of classic stories on audio.

The Ice Warriors, from season five, was a six-part adventure starring Patrick Troughton as the Doctor, with Frazer Hines as Jamie and Deborah Watling as Victoria. It was novelised in 1976 by Brian Hayles, and this four disc CD collection presents the unabridged novelisation with narration by Frazer Hines.

The world is held in the grip of a second Ice Age, and faces total destruction from the rapidly advancing glaciers. Doctor Who, with Victoria and Jamie, lands at a top scientific base in England, where they have just unearthed an ancient Ice Warrior. Aliens from Mars, preserved in the ice for centuries and now revitalised, the Ice Warriors feel ready to take over... Can the Doctor overcome these warlike Martians and halt the relentless approach of the ice glaciers?
