David Tennant’s Tenth Doctor encounters three of his previous selves – and three of his deadliest enemies.
David Tennant stars alongside Tom Baker, Peter Davison and Colin Baker in Doctor Who: Out of Time – The Complete Series, out now, exclusively from www.bigfinish.com.
In Doctor Who: Out of Time, a series of three special full-cast audio dramas initially released from 2020 to 2022, the terrific Tenth Doctor (David Tennant) encounters three of his previous selves – and three of his deadliest enemies.
With the Fourth Doctor (Tom Baker), he defends the Cathedral of Contemplation from Dalek invasion. Then, his Fifth incarnation (Peter Davison) helps foil a Cyberman plot in the Paris Catacombs. And finally, the Sixth Doctor (Colin Baker) teams up with the Tenth to face the Weeping Angels on a planet of all-encompassing light.
Originally recorded during lockdown, these three multi-Doctor stories were well received, with the first Out of Time release winning the 2021 Scribe Award for Best Audio Drama. Previously only available as individual audio dramas, they’re now packaged together for the first time in a single digital release, at a specially discounted price.
The three action-packed adventures are:
Out of Time 1 by Matt Fitton
The Cathedral of Contemplation is an enigma, existing outside time. It turns through history, opening its doors across the universe to offer solace to those in need.
Occasionally, the Doctor drops in – when he’s avoiding his destiny, it’s an ideal place to get some perspective. Only this time he’s already there from several lives earlier, so when dimension barriers break down, his past and present collide.
And when the Daleks invade and commandeer the Cathedral, two Doctors must unite to stop them – or face extermination twice over!

Out of Time 2: The Gates of Hell by David Llewellyn
Paris, 1809. The Fifth Doctor takes a tour of the Catacombs and meets a sassy Time Agent doing the same…
Paris, 1944. The Tenth Doctor misses his target and lands in occupied France. He hides from the Nazis – in the Catacombs.
A collision of two Doctors’ timelines triggers a temporal catastrophe, granting the Cybermen dominion over the Earth.
The Doctors must travel back in time to find the source of the Cyber-invasion and close the Gates of Hell…

Out of Time 3: Wink by Lisa McMullin
When the Sixth Doctor goes sight-seeing on Lucidus Silvara, he finds himself in a place where nothing is visible at all… only all-encompassing light! The Tenth Doctor is drawn in by a temporal anomaly, and the two Doctors meet a species with no sense of sight, living in a city surrounded by Weeping Angels. To save a civilisation, the Doctors must keep their eyes on the Angels. Don’t blink.
Don’t even wink…

When the first Out of Time adventure was released, 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.”
