There are new companions and an old enemy in store for Paul McGann in The Eighth Doctor Adventures: New Pathways, a box set of full-cast audio drama, due November 2026

 

The Eighth Doctor (Paul McGann) returns later this year for a six-part audio drama miniseries across two box sets. For New Pathways and Fear the Reapers strong and loyal Alfie Steep and new recruit Chase Moyo join his adventures. Regular Big Finish contributors Sam Stafford and Natalie Gumede play Alfie and Chase respectively.

As New Pathways begins, the Doctor is travelling with Alfie when he encounters Chase – and realises he has already spoken to her, throughout his life, on the end of a phone line. What is the connection between the TARDIS and a call centre in northern England?

Then, on Chase’s first venture into the universe, the time travellers encounter a deadly enemy – the Sycorax. These tribal aliens first appeared in 2005 Doctor Who TV special The Christmas Invasion, fought the Seventh Doctor in a 2016 Classic Doctors, New Monsters audio episode, and now face off against the Eighth Doctor for the first time.

And in the third episode, the TARDIS arrives in the late twenty-first century to discover something is very wrong with Britain…

This box set also includes The Eighth Doctor: A New Pathway, a brand-new feature-length audio documentary, celebrating thirty years of Paul McGann’s Doctor and giving a detailed look at the creation of this new era in his life.

The guest cast of New Pathways includes Susan Aderin, Ben Fox, Barnaby Edwards, Harriet Kershaw, Alexandra Mathie, Lara Lemon, Nicole Deon, Sara Powell, Derek Griffiths, Richard Goulding, and Nicholas Boulton.

 

New Pathways features thirty years of the Eighth Doctor condensed into a week of Chase’s life

Script editor Matt Fitton said: “The Eighth Doctor’s had such a rich and varied life. It felt fitting that what we would do to celebrate it was invent a whole new era and bring in Chase and Alfie as new companions.

“We threw Natalie and Sam’s names into the mix quite early on in the process, and so we were able to build those characters around them. This new team has a different energy and a different way of looking at the Doctor, and that brings out new things for Paul to do as well.”

On kicking off this new era, the first episode’s writer Alan Ronald said: “I was given a bit of a blank slate to introduce two companions. With Alfie, we hit the ground running, and he’s already gadding about with the Doctor, and then we meet Chase, and see how the Doctor crashes into her humdrum daily life.

“Given that it arrives on the thirtieth anniversary of the Eighth Doctor first appearing, we had to find a way to touch on that, but not have it be all about that. I didn’t want it to be a look backwards, it had to look forwards. So, my approach to that was through Chase and the call centre, with her connecting with the Doctor across that entire period. We have a thirty-year period of storytelling condensed into her week!”

 

The three exciting new stories for the Eighth Doctor are: Chase by Alan Ronald

Chase had hoped for a different life… She sees no escape from her soul-sucking call centre job. But when she is accidentally connected to a mysterious police box, and the extraordinary Doctor Smith – who is just beginning one of his many long lives – her entire world will change forever.

Magic of the Sycorax by Katharine Armitage

It’s time to put Chase through her paces and so the TARDIS follows a distress signal to a remote mining base, beset by powerful forces.

The Doctor’s defeated the Sycorax before but, this time, they seem to have more magic, more darkness, and everyone has much more to lose…

Blast from the Past by Robert Valentine

When the TARDIS starts playing up, the Doctor accidentally brings Chase and Alfie to Burnley in 2096, only to discover that the UK has become an authoritarian dictatorship under fascist leader Bastian Clore.

Chase in turn discovers that her descendants, the Moyo family of No. 19 McKellen Drive, are major players in the underground resistance movement. Beyond the obvious, something is seriously wrong with history.

Has the past been rewritten by more than just the propaganda wing of Clore’s jingoistic regime? And can Chase live up to the idealised memory her great-great-grandchildren hold of her?

Get ready for Battles in Time across the modern era as Master Replicas launch Obliterator 

Get ready for the most deadly Battles in Time yet, as the Obliterator series arrives from Master Replicas. As announced on today’s episode of The Whoniverse Show, Obliterator builds on the success of the recent Reintroduction set to bring the characters of Doctor Who into a whole new dimension.

Battles in Time originally ran from 2006 to 2009. Yet it continues to be one of the most fondly regarded elements of Doctor Who merchandise this century. Now that Master Replicas have regenerated the range of trading game cards, fans can finally collect cards for their favourite heroes and villains from the Matt Smith era on. Based on the previews that Blogtor Who has seen, we’re in for a gorgeous treat of some truly stunning designs.

Blogtor seized the opportunity to chat with Master Replicas’ Creative Director, Ben Robinson, about the new series.

 

The Battles in Time Shreek card (c) Master Replicas The upcoming sets of Battle of Times includes cards for every era of the show, while the original only went up to Series Four. How did you decide the spread of cards between eras, and how many to devote to each one? Not quite every era – at least not yet. The Obliterator set is everything since Journey’s End. Before we did anything else, we wanted a card for all the Doctors we’ve meat since Ten regenerated into Eleven (there are quite a few)… Then talking to the BBC, we naturally thought about the most recent characters from this second RTD era, not least because they are visually very cool but also because they are fresh in people’s minds. Monsters have always been the foundation of Battles in Time so we naturally tended toward those.  After that it was a case of picking some of the most memorable characters, knowing that there would be more sets to follow. Again, we wanted to make sure we had something from each Doctor since Journey’s End. I’m sure there will be people who wish we’d done some specific characters, but I promise this is just the beginning and they are on the way. The Battles in Time Pting card (c) Master Replicas In looking through the photo archive for the new cards, did you come across any fun surprises? I’d forgotten just how much photography we had. We were still commissioning our own shoots until well into the Eleventh Doctor’s time so there was a lot to work with. The shoots are always quite entertaining – some actors particularly enjoy  playing around – but in terms of what made it on to the cards, I think the Pting is particularly great. Something about that card just makes me smile. The Battles in Time ‘The Woman’ card (c) Master Replicas Do you have any favourite little detail in the new cards that you suspect many people will miss? The cards are numbered randomly and because these are New Battles in Time cards, we started from Number 1 again. As I was numbering them, I realised that meant I could make the mysterious woman from 73 Yards card number… 73. The Battles in Time Rassilon card (c) Master Replicas Which card generated the most debate amongst the team about what attributes it should have? There were two things that generated debate. If someone has regenerated should they keep the same scores? In the end we decided that, no if a Time Lord regenerates, they are a bit different. But for me the biggest debate was whether Rassilon should be more intelligent than the Doctor. We know the Doctor should be able to beat him – ultimately, we know the Doctor can beat everybody; there’s always a way – but Rassilon is this great figure in Time Lord history, who was instrumental in inventing time travel. He’s got to be pretty clever, hasn’t he? Is the Doctor really on that level? After a bit of consultation with the BBC we came to the conclusion that answer is, “Yes, they are!” Battles in Time: Obliterator Get ready to expand your Doctor Who Battles in Time with Obliterator!

It wasn’t just 1993’s infamous Dimensions in Time which saw the worlds of Walford and the TARDIS collide!

The residents of Albert Square have been encountering the Doctor all over time and space for decades, right back to the legendary Patrick Trueman (aka Rudolph Walker) in The War Games nearly 60 years ago.

Since the 2005 revival of Doctor Who, dozens of actors from the BBC’s long-running soap opera have made appearances, from Zoe Slater (Michelle Ryan) in Planet of the Dead to Angie Watts (Anita Dobson) as Mrs Flood in the most recent Who era.

Here’s a YouTube video revealing 34 of the most recognisable EastEnders stars to have entered the Whoniverse this century:

Have you spotted any others?

And if you ever felt like Adric’s death needed its ’80s melodrama ramped up another notch, here’s the iconic final moments of Earthshock soundtracked with ‘Julia’s Theme’, the fantastically over-the-top version of the EastEnders end credits music reserved for only the most tragic of Albert Square exits:

Rivals are back for round two as David Tennant’s Lord Baddingham takes the gloves off

Few Doctors have had a post-Doctor Who career as varied and prolific as David Tennant. Now he’s back with another of his popular successes as Rivals returns for a second series. Based on the books by Jilly Cooper, the show stars Tennant as Tony Baddingham, the ruthless, wealthy, and womanizing head of Corinium Television. The epitome of 1980s excess, Baddingham will stop at nothing to maintain control of a lucrative regional television franchise. But then again, his greatest rival Rupert Campbell-Black (Alex Hassell) will stop at nothing to conquer it himself. The result of their clash is an outlandish mix of corporate skullduggery, betrayal, and bed-hopping affairs.

Following Venturer’s unexpected success in the local TV world, Lord Baddingham is more determined than ever in Series Two to bring his enemies down, offering a glimpse into the murky tactics he resorts to now that the gloves are fully off. Meanwhile, the messy love lives of Rutshire’s residents are starting to cause even more problems than usual, and in this glossy 1980s world, private drama has a habit of going public.

Rivals co-stars Claire Rushbrook (The Impossible Planet/The Satan Pit), Annabel Scholey (Flux), Brendan Patricks (The Crimson Horror), and Amanda Lawerence (The Doctor’s Wife). Also appearing are Milo Callaghan (Dot and Bubble), and Maxim Ays (Rogue). Outside of the world of Doctor Who, the cast includes Aiden Turner (Being Human, Poldark), Emily Atack (The Inbetweeners) and Danny Dyer (EastEnders.)

Series Two also introduces Olive Tennant, daughter of David and Georgia Tennant, and granddaughter of Fifth Doctor Peter Davison, as Baddingham’s daughter Camilla.

The first four episodes of series two are available now on Disney+, with the next two arriving on Thursdays, and the remaining six episodes of the season following later in the year.
