Master of disguise, disarray and disorder. The Master has always enjoyed creating chaos, but this incarnation revels in it more than most.
A new Master is unleashed upon the universe, and he is taking his time - and pleasure – in finding out exactly who he is...
Self-Help by Robert Valentine The Master is having a crisis of the existential variety.
While he may have a classic diabolical scheme on the go, the dastardly Time Lord's latest incarnation isn’t quite feeling himself. In fact, he’s not even sure who he is anymore. He needs help. But can he help himself?
The Clockwork Swan by Georgia Cook Opening night is approaching for the latest presentation at cultural theme park Historica Dramatica: Earth-set whodunnit The Clockwork Swan. But cast and crew are being murdered...
Enter a mysterious stranger. Who better to solve the crime than galaxy-renowned detective LeMaitre? Only, LeMaitre isn’t all he seems...
The Good Life by Una McCormack On a distant Island, a group of holy men and women work together to keep the Balance. Elta, one of the Shore-folk, has come to learn. But there’s a new man on the Island – the first in living memory – and it’s not clear whether he’s saint or sinner.
Is it only coincidence that the weather seems more changeable these days? That people are angrier and turning to violence? Where, wonders Elta, is this all heading – and does the stranger even know himself?

The recording of Big Finish Productions’ first ever onstage Doctor Who audio drama is now available to pre-order, and due for release December 2024.
On 14 and 15 September, Doctor Who fans were treated to a live performance of a brand-new story, The Stuff of Legend by Robert Valentine, onstage at London’s Cadogan Hall.
Leading the cast were Paul McGann as the Doctor and India Fisher as his original audio companion, Charley Pollard. In a quiet Cornish mining town in 1963, the time travellers faced off against two of their most iconic enemies – the Master (Alex Macqueen) and the Daleks (Nicholas Briggs).
The stage show also featured live foley effects and audience participation, with the audience providing the voices of the Robomen enslaved by the Daleks. All of this has been captured on the official recordings of the performances, and this December, The Stuff of Legend – The Live Show will be available to own.
Doctor Who: The Stuff of Legend – The Live Show can now be pre-ordered as a collector’s edition double CD plus slipcase (+ download for just £15.99) or as a digital download only (for just £12.99), exclusively here.
Additionally, there are a number of limited-edition tiers, which come with The Stuff of Legend merchandise:
Something is afoot in the lonely Cornish village of Merrymaid Bay. Rumours of dead men working in the tin mines have sent a chill through the community, and it's up to the Doctor and Charley to get to the bottom of the mystery.
Can the legends of the Bucca that haunts the mines be true? And just what awesome power do the Doctor’s greatest enemies – the Daleks! – threaten to unleash upon the universe?
The cast list also includes Carolyn Seymour as Old Emily and the Light Bucca, Nisha Nayar as Emily Barnfather, Jason Forbes as Captain Montgomerie Césaire, Barnaby Edwards as Jago Penrose and Foley, and Gabriel Clark as Jory, Robomen and the Dark Bucca.
Big Finish executive producer, and voice of the Daleks, Nicholas Briggs said: “There was a real electricity in the room during these performances. The reception we got was the sort of thing that could really go to your head – proper rock star welcomes! And then from the moment the shows started, the audience were riveted, picking up on every little nuance. It made the whole thing such a joy.
“I remember, as a teenager, being delighted with live recordings of Monty Python stage shows. There’s something really compelling about hearing a live performance, with audience reactions and performers pitching it up for a large, appreciative crowd. The enthusiasm in the auditorium somehow transmits through the recording, making you part of something joyous.
“I’ve had a listen to the live recordings of The Stuff of Legend, and that’s exactly what happens here. For those who attended, it’ll be a great way to relive the memories, and for those who couldn’t get to see the show onstage, this will capture so much of the atmosphere and sense of occasion.”
Director Barnaby Edwards added: “Directing a Doctor Who audio adventure is always fun, but it’s done without any feedback from the listener. Not so The Stuff of Legend live, where the reactions of the audience dictated the pace and delivery of each performance. The live recording is a beast of a very different colour from the studio version: new cast members, new lines, new action, new live sound effects, new feel. I can’t wait for people to hear it!”
Praise for the live performances of The Stuff of Legend:
“There are Daleks, the Master, lots of jokes and plenty of thrills, chases, explosions and exterminations... I’m gripped from start to finish.” – Who Review “While it was doubtless fun to watch, the story works well as an audio drama in its own right. If you’re a fan of the Eighth Doctor and Charley’s exploits, or just a good, solid Doctor Who story, this one’s for you.” – Cultbox “Perfect to sum up all that is great and good about the show.” – Bleeding Cool
Doctor Who: The Stuff of Legend – The Live Show is now available to pre-order as a collector’s edition double CD plus slipcase (+ download for just £15.99) or as a digital download only (for just £12.99), exclusively here.
All the above prices include the special pre-order discount and are subject to change after general release.
Please note that Big Finish is currently operating a digital-first release schedule. The mail-out of collector’s edition CDs may be delayed due to factors beyond our control, but all purchases of this release unlock a digital copy that can be immediately downloaded or played on the Big Finish app from the release date.
-- So this presumably includes any audience reaction to the stage show, although, who knows. And then there are goodies to go with it - t-shirts, brochures (the programme, I assume?), and even a tote bag if you have the cash to spare.

THIRD DOCTOR: his collection of dress jackets
Happy Birthday Ncuti Gatwa! October 15, 1992
To mark the twentieth anniversary of the Gallifrey range, Big Finish Productions presents Echoes Through Eternity, a brand-new collection of short story readings, due November 2024.
Gallifrey. Ancestral home of the Time Lords. Some have lived there all their lives, some have adopted it as their own. Allies, thrown together by circumstance and strife, have forged lasting friendships in the furnace of politics, alternate realities, and the Last Great Time War.
Gallifrey is constant, but its inhabitants must change to survive. Perhaps none more so than Narvin...
Gallifrey has watched over the universe since the dawn of time – and, at Big Finish Productions, since 2004. The audio drama range following intrigue and adventure on the Doctor’s homeworld is now twenty years old.
Marking the occasion is Echoes Through Eternity, a collection of four brand-new stories, in the style of Big Finish’s Short Trips. These tales are set across the timeline of the Gallifrey range and feature some of its most iconic characters.
The set includes two stories by Gary Russell, the range’s original creator. Both follow Celestial Intervention Agency Coordinator Narvin and are read by Seán Carlsen. The other two stories focus on the characters of Braxiatel and Ace, with their original voice actors Miles Richardson and Sophie Aldred reading.
The Worlds of Doctor Who – Gallifrey: Echoes Through Eternity is now available to pre-order (as a digital download only) for just £11.99, exclusively here.
The four stories are:
Damned If You Do by Gary Russell, read by Seán Carlsen
CIA Coordinator Narvin is unwillingly called upon to find some lost students – aliens admitted to the hallowed Academy. But when Narvin and Cadet Kransa enter the Catacombs, nothing will be the same...
The Questing Beast by Fio Trethewey & Georgia Cook, read by Miles Richardson
Battling the Lord Burner, Braxiatel is separated from his friends as they fall through a multitude of alternative Gallifreys. He arrives in a realm where science is magic and there is a Dragon to be slain...
In Search of Lost Time by Una McCormack, read by Sophie Aldred
Old Time Agents never die – they just lose their memories. Back on Earth after her involvement in the Time War, Ace is having trouble fitting in – and coincidence seems to be following her...
Damned If You Don’t by Gary Russell, read by Seán Carlsen
As the Time War rages, Narvin is at the heart of the action – but he has lost so much, he may not have the will to carry on. Until his past returns to haunt him...
Producer Heather Challands said: “One thing that was very apparent when I came on to the Gallifrey range was how well-loved it is by the listeners.
“Gallifrey has introduced us to so many different characters, timelines, conflicts and so much creativity over the years that it only felt right to celebrate the 20th anniversary by revisiting some old favourites. A small slice of a very storied history, explored by four brand new stories set from the earliest days in the Citadel to deep in the heart of the Time War.”
The Worlds of Doctor Who – Gallifrey: Echoes Through Eternity is now available to pre-order (as a digital download only) for just £11.99, exclusively here.
All the above prices include the special pre-order discount and are subject to change after general release.
