Released:
15th March 2012
The
Doctor's old friend and fellow Time Lord Professor Chronotis has retired to
Cambridge University - where nobody will notice if he lives for centuries. But
now he needs help from the Doctor, Romana and K-9. When he left Gallifrey he
took with him a few little souvenirs - most of them are harmless. But one of
them is extremely dangerous.
The Worshipful and Ancient Law of Gallifrey isn't a book for Time Tots. It is
one of the Artefacts, dating from the dark days of Rassilon. It must not be
allowed to fall into the wrong hands. And the sinister Skagra most definitely
has the wrong hands. He wants the book. He wants to discover the truth behind
Shada. And he wants the Doctor's mind...
Based on the scripts for the original television series by the legendary Douglas
Adams, Shada retells an adventure that never made it to the screen.

When the
TARDIS is buffeted by 'time slippage', the Doctor experiences a terrible vision
of the end of everything. Tracking the source of the disruption, he takes Rory
and Amy to what appears to be an English public school in the 1950s. But the
friends discover that there are some very unusual things about Darkstar Academy.
For a start the prefects carry guns, and then there is the strange forcefield
that surrounds the perimeter. Not to mention the foot-long, crab-like creatures
with spiny, armoured bodies...
The Doctor discovers that the whole place is in terrible danger, but with a
swarm of carnivorous creatures on the loose, what can he, Amy and Rory do to
help prevent a terrible disaster?
Written specially for audio by Mark Morris, 'Darkstar Academy' features the
Doctor, Amy and Rory as played by Matt Smith, Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill in
the acclaimed hit series from BBC Television. It is read by Alexander Armstrong.

The year is 16127. Four decades have passed since the colonists of Nerva Beacon
returned to repopulate the once-devastated planet Earth – and the chosen few are
finding the business of survival tough.
Far beyond the sterile safety of sanitised Nerva City, transmat scientist Roger
Buchman has brought his family to an island surrounded by what they once called
Loch Lomond, hoping to re-establish the colony he was forced to abandon many
years before.
But something else resides in the Loch. A pestilent alien infestation that the
Doctor, beaming in from Nerva City, remembers only too well from his time aboard
the Beacon…
The Wirrn are back. And they’re hungry.
This story takes place between The Trial of a Time Lord and
Time and the Rani.

Released:

March 2012
Two alien seed pods are found buried in the
Antarctic permafrost. The Fourth Doctor, accompanied by Sarah-Jane Smith,
realises that they are from a Krynoid, a form of voracious plant life that
infects and transforms all animal life on planets upon which it becomes
established.
One of the pods opens and infects a scientist at an Antarctic base but the
developing Krynoid is destroyed by a bomb set to cover the tracks of two men,
Scorby and Keeler, who have made off with the other pod for their boss,
eccentric plant collector Harrison Chase.
The second pod infects Keeler and he also becomes a Krynoid, rapidly growing to
giant proportions. UNIT are called in, and they arrange for the Krynoid to be
bombed before it can spread its pods across the Earth.
