Big Finish has released details for the next set of adventures for Colin Baker’s Sixth Doctor, accompanied by Bonnie Langford’s Mel Bush.

The Doctor and Mel are on a rescue mission in the brand-new box set of high-stakes full-cast audio dramas, due for release in May 2023 from Big Finish .

The three new adventures folllow on from the shocking cliffhanger to Purity Undreamed. The time-travelling duo are frantically trying to get their new friend Hebe (Ruth Madeley) back after she was wiped from existence.

The box set consists of:

Broadway Belongs to Me! by Matthew Sweet
Purification by Chris Chapman
Time-Burst by Ian Potter

Producer Jacqueline Rayner, who was nominated for Best Drama & Fiction Producer at the 2022 Audio Production Awards, said: “I think a lot of people were shocked by the conclusion to Purity Undreamed. The thing is, Doctor Who is the best ever adventure series – it’s fun and exciting and thrilling – but always, from its very earliest days, it had a serious heart.

“Disabled people are effectively erased from society every day and those complicit in it don’t consider themselves villains. They may even think they’re doing good.

“Some of our best writers have pulled out all the stops to tell amazing, funny and tragic stories in Purity Unleashed and the loss of Hebe underpins it all.”
