Tegan Jovanka is the latest classic Doctor Who companion to become an action figure in the new Vortex Edition set

Character Options have revealed the first Doctor Who exclusive figure set of 2026: Tegan Jovanka and Destroyed Dalek. This limited-edition Vortex set comes with two figures, as well as two accessories. The Tegan figure is intricate in its styling and stands 13.7cm tall, with multiple articulation points consisting of ankles, knees, hips, waist, shoulders, elbows and neck.

The figure features Tegan’s outfit from Resurrection Of The Daleks. In the 1984 story a mysterious time corridor diverts Tegan, the Fifth Doctor, and Turlough, to present day London. There they uncover an evil new plot across two time zones by old enemies the Daleks. In the distant future they attack the prison ship holding their creator Davros, and in the present day they also move to replace Earth’s leaders with duplicates. But within these plans is an even greater target: Gallifrey itself.

Resurrection of the Daleks was also Janet Fielding’s final regular appearance as Tegan in Doctor Who, with one of series’ most touching companion departure scenes. She would return 38 years later for The Power of the Doctor, starring Jodie Whittaker.

Accessories in the new action figure set include a Dalek Trooper gun, as used by Commander Lytton’s mercenaries, as well as a Movellan virus canister. There’s also a destroyed ‘Resurrection’ style Dalek, with a blasted and scorched casing, and internal life support tank. The design is splattered with bright green Dalek gore and shows the mortally wounded Dalek mutant within.

The set comes beautifully presented in open presentation box packaging with insert and is the perfect piece of memorabilia to add to any Doctor Who collection.

The Fugitive Doctor herself, Jo Martin, contributes a new novel to this year’s multi-media event Circuit Breaker

More details about this year’s Doctor Who multimedia event are beginning to emerge. Circuit Breaker follows in the footsteps of Doom’s Day and Time Lord Victorious with a story arc that twists and turns through comics, novels, audios, and games. As Blogtor Who previously reported, the storyline features the return of the mysterious Fugitive Doctor. Moreover, it sees her team up with Kate Lethbridge-Stewart and her UNIT Tower team. And listings now reveal that one of the entries in Circuit Breaker will be the debut novel by the Fugitive Doctor herself, Jo Martin.

Esmie Jikiemi-Pearson, author of The Moon Cruise and the Target Books novelisation of The Church on Ruby Road has crafted the overall Circuit Breaker narrative. So, though there’s no official confirmation yet, it seems likely she will be co-writing September’s novel with Martin.

Out on the 3rd of September, the 240 page hardback novel is available to pre-order now. You can find links from your preferred vendor on the official Penguin page here.

 

Doctor Who: Circuit Breaker – a new multimedia event for 2026 (c) BBC Studios Doctor Who: Circuit Breaker

Strange alien artifacts begin appearing inside UNIT’s Black Archive. Each object is unmistakably linked to a different incarnation of the Doctor, but they’ve been tampered with. A corrupted energy signature of unknown origin pulses through them, and their sudden arrival has torn tiny ruptures across time and space.

UNIT is out of options. To repair the damage and restore the timeline, the objects must be returned to the exact moments they were taken from. If not, the Doctor’s adventures – and the universe itself – could unravel.

 To solve the mystery, UNIT calls upon a little-known incarnation of the Time Lord: the Fugitive Doctor, played by Jo Martin, who returns in a central role. But how does UNIT know about her? And is she the Doctor they expect?

Revisit the early adventures of one of Big Finish’s most popular Doctor/companion duos with Doctor Who: The Eighth Doctor and Charlotte Pollard Series One

 

In January 2001, Paul McGann reprised the role of the Eighth Doctor for the first time since the 1996 Doctor Who TV Movie, in the full-cast audio drama Storm Warning. This electrifying adventure saw the Doctor visit the British airship R101 in the year 1930. There he encountered a ruthless spy, monsters from the time vortex, and also met the adventuress Charley Pollard (India Fisher). Charley joined the Doctor as his new companion, with their next three adventures released monthly. Together, they fought Cybermen in the far future, discovered the fate of Venice, and reunited with the Brigadier (Nicholas Courtney). Now, for their 25th anniversary, that original run of Eighth Doctor adventures are getting the box set treatment. Doctor Who: The Eighth Doctor and Charlotte Pollard Series One is available to pre-order now.

The guest cast of these four stories includes Gareth Thomas (Blake’s 7), Mark Gatiss (Sherlock), and Michael Sheard (Pyramids of Mars). There’s also Hylton Collins, Barnaby Edwards, Helen Goldwyn, Nicholas Pegg, Michelle Livingstone, Toby Longworth, Ian Marr, Bruce Montague and more.

 

Time flies when you’re having fun! India Fisher (Charley), Paul McGann (the Doctor) and Michelle Livingstone (Deeva) at the recording of the original Eighth Doctor series in 2000 (c) Big Finish “It was new, uncharted territory with a Doctor and companion who we didn’t have to put back carefully in the sandbox when we finished playing with them”

Producer Gary Russell said: “It is always so exciting, and a bit daunting, to give newer Big Finish audiences a chance to go back and discover, or for many re-discover, these early adventures for the Eighth Doctor and Charley Pollard.

“Making them was as exciting a six days as I can remember. It was new, uncharted territory with a Doctor and companion who we didn’t have to put back carefully in the sandbox when we finished playing with them. These four stories represent our first time doing audio adventures with no known endpoint. Paul and India were our Champions of Time and made it all possible because they were, and still are, utterly brilliant.”

 

The team behind the original adventuress in 2000: Jason Haigh-Ellery, Paul McGann, Gary Russell and Nicholas Briggs (c) Big Finish The four audio adventures in this collection, each of which is approximately two hours, are:

 

Storm Warning by Alan Barnes

October 1930. His Majesty’s Airship, the R101, sets off on her maiden voyage to the farthest-flung reaches of the British Empire, carrying the brightest lights of the Imperial fleet. Carrying the hopes and dreams of a breathless nation.

There’s a storm coming. There’s something unspeakable, something with wings, crawling across the stern. Thousands of feet high in the blackening sky, the crew of the R101 brace themselves. When the storm breaks, their lives won’t be all that’s at stake…

The future of the galaxy will be hanging by a thread.

 

Sword of Orion by Nicholas Briggs

The human race is locked in deadly combat with the ‘Android Hordes’ in the Orion System. Light years from the front line, the Doctor and Charley arrive to sample the dubious delights of a galactic backwater, little suspecting that the consequences of the Orion War might reach them there. But High Command’s lust for victory knows no bounds.

Trapped aboard a mysterious derelict star destroyer, the Doctor and Charley find themselves facing summary execution. But this is only the beginning of their troubles. The real danger has yet to awaken.

Until, somewhere in the dark recesses of the Garazone System, the Cybermen receive the signal for reactivation…

 

The Stones of Venice by Paul Magrs

The Doctor and Charley decide to take a well-deserved break from the monotony of being chased, shot at and generally suffering anti-social behaviour at the hands of others. And so they end up in Venice, well into Charley’s future, as the great city prepares to sink beneath the water for the last time…

Which would be a momentous, if rather dispiriting, event to witness in itself. However, the machinations of a love-sick aristocrat, a proud art historian and a rabid High Priest of a really quite dodgy cult combine to make Venice’s swansong a night to remember. And then there’s the rebellion by the web-footed amphibious underclass, the mystery of a disappearing corpse and the truth behind a curse going back further than curses usually do. The Doctor and Charley are forced to wonder just what they have got themselves involved with this time…

 

Minuet in Hell by Gary Russell and Alan W Lear

The 21st century has just begun, and Malebolgia is enjoying its status as the newest state in America. After his successful involvement with Scotland’s devolution, Brigadier Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart has been invited over to Malebolgia to offer some of his experiences and expertise.

There he encounters the charismatic Brigham Elisha Dashwood III, an evangelical statesman running for Governor who may not be quite as clean-cut and wholesome as he makes out. One of Dashwood’s other roles in society is as patron of a new medical institute, concentrating on curing the ills of the human mind. One of the patients there interests the Brigadier – someone who claims he travels through space and time in something called a TARDIS.

Charley, however, has more than a few problems of her own. Amnesiac, she is working as a hostess at the local chapter of the Hell Fire Club, populated by local dignitaries who have summoned forth the demon Marchosias. And the leader of the Club? None other than Dashwood, who seems determined to achieve congressional power by the most malevolent means at his disposal…

 

Doctor Who – The Eighth Doctor and Charlotte Pollard: Series One is now available to pre-order exclusively from the Big Finish website, as a digital download to own, for just £11.99.

Get a preview of the new Doctor Who Season 21 Blu-ray with a showing of Warriors of the Deep at the BFI

 

The British Film Institute are hosting another of their by now traditional previews of Doctor Who: The Collection this February. Warriors of the Deep will be shown at BFI Southbank on the 28th of February at 12pm. There will also be a Q&A with actors Peter Davison and Janet Fielding, who played the Doctor and his companion Tegan in the 1984 story.

The Doctor and Tegan, along with their fellow traveller, Turlough (Mark Strickson) arrive on an underwater military base. It’s the year 2084 and they soon face threats from multiple sides. The whole world stands on the brink of nuclear war. The base commander believes them to be enemy spies. But the real moles are already plotting to hijack the base’s nuclear missiles. However, they’re not the only ones, as a joint task force of Silurians and Sea Devils lay siege to the base. They have plans of their own to wipe out the human race.

Warriors of the Deep is the first story of Season 21. It’s also the second appearance of amphibious reptiles the Sea Devils. The ancient creatures, who ruled the Earth millions of years ago before awakening from hibernation to discover the evolution of humanity, returned to television last month for The War Between the Land and the Sea.

You can buy tickets for the event from the BFI website from the 15th of January. As always, BFI members get priority booking. Prices are £17, with concessions £14 and £2.50 off for members.

Doctor Who: The Collection – Season 21, including all seven stories in the season, follows on the 16th of March.

The Doctor, Tegan and Turlough find themselves at an underwater base on Earth in 2084. Rival superpowers, along with the Silurians and Sea Devils – the original rulers of the planet – are locked in a struggle to control a stock of deadly nuclear weapons. The Fifth Doctor’s final season brings together fan-favourite monsters from the era of his third incarnation, revived in the recent Doctor Who spin-off, The War Between the Land and the Sea.
