Doctor Who - The First Doctor Adventures
3 primary works
Book 1
Big Finish have been producing Doctor Who audios since 1999, starring Tom Baker, Peter Davison, Colin Baker, Sylvester McCoy, Paul McGann, David Tennant and John Hurt. This very special release features a recreation of the first ever cast of Doctor Who, as seen on BBC TV in 2013's celebratory An Adventure in Space and Time, with David Bradley then appearing as the Doctor in 2017's Peter Capaldi finale at Christmas. 1.1 The Destination Wars by Matt Fitton. The TARDIS arrives in a gleaming utopia in the Space Year 2003. Has the Doctor truly brought Ian and Barbara home, to glimpse their future?
The world owes much to its legendary Inventor, and Susan finds herself face to face with the great benefactor. But soon, the time travellers are in a world at war and the Doctor must confront his past. 1.2 The Great White Hurricane by Guy Adams.
Rival gangs turn streets into battlegrounds, and the Doctor and his friends are caught in the crossfire. They find themselves separated, and lost in the cold. As the hunt for a fugitive turns ever more desperate, a blizzard descends. The snow keeps falling. And soon it will prove as deadly as any weapon. Jemma Powell (playing the Doctor's companion Barbara Wright) is currently starring in the BBC's The Last Post drama and James Dreyfus' portrayal of The Master is the earliest detailed meeting between the Doctor and his arch nemesis. Director Nicholas Briggs is not only the executive producer at Big Finish, but is known for his voice-work on Doctor Who, most notably for the chilling tones of the Daleks! CAST: David Bradley

Doctor Who: The First Doctor Adventures - Volume 5
by Guy Adams and Sarah Grochala
Published 30 June 2021
This release features a recreation of the first ever cast of Doctor Who, as seen on BBC TV in 2013's celebratory 'An Adventure in Space and Time' with David Bradbury then appearing as the Doctor in 2017's Peter Capaldi finale. Contains two stories; 5.1 For the Glory of Urth by Guy Adams. The TARDIS has barely landed in an alien sewer when a distant scream sends Susan racing to give aid, and the crew split up. Trying to reunite, the travellers find themselves in something resembling a monastery led by a man half-way between an Abbot and a warlord. They discover that they are in 'Urth', a barbaric place clinging on to its former glory. It's somewhere its populace are never allowed to leave, somewhere keeping many secrets from its people. And today those secrets will be revealed...5.2 The Hollow Crown by Sarah Grochala. When the TARDIS lands in Shoreditch, 1601, the Doctor suggests going to see a play at the Globe Theatre and his friends readily agree. But this is a turbulent time. There is violence in the streets, plots against the Queen, and rebellion is in the air. At the centre of it all stands the most famous playwright in British history
- William Shakespeare - who is having troubles of his own. As tensions mount and wheels turn within wheels, the travellers are about to discover if the play really is the thing... Cast: David Bradley (The Doctor), Claudia Grant (Susan), Jemma Powell (Barbara Wright),
