The Doctor Who New Adventures are continuing on audio, with a box set adding further adventures for the Seventh Doctor, Roz and Cwej.

Yasmin Bannerman plays Roz Forrester and Travis Oliver plays Chris Cwej opposite Sylvester McCoy in Doctor Who – The New New Adventures.

The Virgin Books’ New Adventures of Doctor Who took the reins of Doctor Who after the television series finished after its 26th season back in 1989.

This new box set includes four stories:

1. The Trial of a Time Machine by Andy Lane

2. Vanguard by Steve Jordan

3. The Jabari Countdown by Alan Flanagan

4. The Dread of Night by Tim Foley

Producer and director Scott Handcock explains: “As a fan who grew up in the era of the New Adventures novels, I was thrilled when David Richardson offered me the opportunity to tackle a new box set featuring the Seventh Doctor, Roz Forrester and Chris Cwej. The feedback to the novel adaptations was fantastic, and getting the chance to tell completely new stories with this TARDIS team has been a joy!

“We’ve tried to make the most of the box set format, so we have four original hour-long stories reuniting the Doctor, Roz and Chris – and, of course, Sylvester, Yasmin and Travis, who struck up such a brilliant rapport on the adaptations. The four new tales tackle very different genres, in very different settings and times, with Chris and Roz creator Andy Lane kicking off the box set with his story, The Trial of a Time Machine. There really is something for everyone!”

The New New Adventures will be released in November 2018, available as a CD box set for £23 or on download at £20 from www.bigfinish.com
