The first of the Out of Time series of stories featuring David Tennant teaming up with one of his predecessors as the Doctor is out today, with Tom Baker’s Fourth Doctor appearing alongside Tennant’s Tenth in Matt Fitton’s Out of Time.

To accompany the release, Big Finish have also announced that Tennant will be appearing alongside Peter Davison and Colin Baker in future instalments.

The second story, Doctor Who: Out of Time 2 – The Gates of Hell by David Llewellyn, follows in June 2021, and pairs the Tenth Doctor with the Fifth Doctor (Peter Davison) fighting the Cybermen in the Catacombs of Paris. 

Finally, Doctor Who: Out of Time 3 – Wink by Lisa McMullin, due for release in July 2022, unites the Tenth and Sixth Doctors, as David Tennant and Colin Baker take on the Weeping Angels on a distant planet where no one has the power of sight. 

Actor David Tennant said: “Why do we love multi-Doctor stories? I suppose it’s the band all coming together, isn’t it? I remember as a kid I’d read about things like The Three Doctors and could only imagine how exciting that must have been. And then The Five Doctors happened and, well, five Doctors didn’t really get together in the end but three Doctors and a man in a wig and some clips of Tom Baker all got together, and that was exciting enough. Just the idea that Doctors should come together, it’s exciting.”

Executive producer and director Nicholas Briggs added: “We were in a planning meeting about a year ago. There was a pause and then senior producer David Richardson said, ‘What about asking David Tennant if he’d like to do an adventure with Tom Baker?’ We all agreed and so I texted David Tennant there and then. He replied within about five minutes, saying yes, and so we made our plans from that point on.

“Doctor Who: Out of Time has got a really neat idea in it that brings the Doctors together. It gives them both a lot of space to be quintessentially their Doctors, while also giving them a lot of interaction with each other – plus fighting the Daleks! What’s not to love about that?”

Doctor Who: Out of Time 1 is now available to own as a collector’s edition CD (for just £10.99) or a digital download (for just £8.99) exclusively from the Big Finish website.
