the first of our stories, Amy’s Choice, it’s been five long years since Amy
travelled in the Tardis with her mysterious Doctor - and when he shows up again,
on the eve of the birth of her first child, danger is not far behind him. Amy is
faced with a heartbreaking choice that will change her life forever.
The Hungry Earth finds us in 2015, and the most ambitious drilling project in

that the Doctor can’t take sides in, a day when nobody must die …

Revenge of the Cybermen
The Doctor, Sarah and Harry arrives on the Nerva Beacon, hoping to find the
TARDIS waiting for them, instead the intrepid trio find a space station in the
grip of a deadly plague that has wiped out most of its crew. But the Doctor soon
comes to suspect that the 'plague' is no natural illness – and that some of his
oldest and most fearsome foes are behind it...
The beacon has been set up to warn space traffic of a new satellite orbiting
Jupiter, but one craft is taking no notice of the order to stay clear – a
Cybership. The satellite is Voga, Planet of Gold, home to the seemingly harmless
Vogans – but why are the Cybermen so determined to destroy it?
Without the TARDIS, the Doctor is unable to return Sarah and Harry to the 20th

can find a cure – quickly – she will never make it home at all...

Released:
5th August 2010
When the TARDIS lands on Orkney in the
near future, the Doctor and Amy arrive to find a large demonstration in progress
over the construction of new electricity pylons. The Doctor tries to break
things up peacefully – but suddenly the road splits open without warning and
swallows police, security guards and protestors alike.
Separated from the Doctor, Amy takes charge of transporting the wounded to
hospital – but the rescue mission becomes a terrifying ride as the pylons come
to life and begin to walk and the road rears up, erupting with boiling tarmac...
The Doctor, meanwhile, has even more than metal monsters and rebellious roads to
deal with. Who is sucking the life out of the power company’s employees - and
just what is lurking inside the Astra-Gen headquarters?
Written specially for audio by Stephen Cole and read by Arthur Darvill (Rory
in the TV series), ‘The Ring of Steel’ features the Doctor as played by Matt
Smith in the acclaimed hit series from BBC Television.

Released:

A bizarre manifestation in the Control Room forces the TARDIS onto the
Plutonian shores of the irradiated world Nevermore, whose sole inhabitant is the
war criminal Morella Wendigo – a prisoner of this devastated planet. But the
Doctor and his new companion aren’t Morella’s only visitors. Senior Prosecutor
Uglosi fears the arrival of an assassin, after the blood of his prize prisoner.
An assassin with claws…
There’s no escape from Nevermore, whose raven-like robot jailers serve to
demonstrate Uglosi’s macabre obsession with the works of the 19th century horror
writer Edgar Allan Poe. An obsession that might yet lead to the premature burial
of everyone on the planet’s surface – wreathed in the mist they call the Red
Death!
