Paul McGann’s Eighth Doctor is facing one of his most dangerous enemies yet, as the Stranded saga draws towards its conclusion.

Due for release in December 2021, the story details are revealed below for the penultimate box set of full cast audio adventures for the Baker Street team, as the Eighth Doctor (Paul McGann), Liv Chenka (Nicola Walker), Helen Sinclair (Hattie Morahan), Tania Bell (Rebecca Root) and Sergeant Andy Davidson (Tom Price) battle the Judoon, begin a revolution, go on the search for snow and find themselves facing devastating consequences – where not everyone will make it out alive…
 
After crashing in 2020 London, the TARDIS is healing. It can now take its passengers through time and space – but the future has changed around them…  A sinister force steers humanity’s destiny, and as the Doctor and friends investigate the mystery they’re trapped inside, they may make the outcome even worse…

Patience by Tim Foley 

The Doctor decides to investigate the limits of the paradoxical timeline in which he and his friends are stranded.  But they find themselves hunted by a force of mercenary Judoon. It seems that Earth’s altered history has changed the whole universe…

Twisted Folklore by Lizzie Hopley 

Tracking the course of the future, the Doctor and friends arrive on Rarkelia – where human forces rule.  Earth – and Divine Intervention – are shaping the universe in their own image. Helen, Liv and Tania embed themselves in society while the Doctor starts a revolution.

Snow by James Kettle 

Returning to London in the 2030s, the TARDIS travellers find a sinister elite taking hold.  Baker Street now has just one lonely resident – and what’s more, it is the last place on Earth where snow ever falls.

What Just Happened? by John Dorney 

All actions have consequences. The path to victory or disaster is unclear, unless seen from a different perspective…  With the lives of the entire human race at stake, the Doctor confronts a nemesis like no other. And not everyone will make it home.

Script editor Matt Fitton said: “Little by little, the TARDIS is healing – but that means the time travellers of Baker Street are beginning to see more of the havoc that the change to the timelines has caused. These very different, rather brilliant scripts take the Stranded story out into the universe – while keeping character and relationships at their heart.

“Hunted by Judoon, starting revolutions on occupied worlds, and finally tracking back to the source of a devastating new destiny for the human race, the stakes for the Doctor and friends have never been higher – or more personal.”

Doctor Who – The Eighth Doctor Adventures: Stranded 3 is available to pre-order as a collector’s edition box set (on CD at £24.99) and as a digital download (at £19.99), exclusively from the Big Finish website.
