From the Ninth Doctor’s far-future encounter with a sinister gaming business to the Thirteenth Doctor crashing a hen do, via trips into the Time War and deep into the Doctor’s long-forgotten past, this collection highlights some of the most exciting adventures the Doctors have had.
The episodes included in the collection are:
The Ninth Doctor Adventures: Sphere of Freedom by Nicholas Briggs
On the Sphere of Freedom, the Doctor is about to shut down an evil Immersive Games business empire. He’s assisted by a valiant galley chef called Nova. But his plan spectacularly fails… And who exactly is Audrey?
On its original release, Sphere of Freedom was described by Who Review as “a fast-paced, thrill-a-minute story that perfectly reintroduces Doctor number nine”, while Doctor Who Companion praised the return of Christopher Eccleston: “He’s as brilliant as he always was as the Doctor.”
The Tenth Doctor Adventures: Infamy of the Zaross by John Dorney
When Jackie Tyler takes a trip to visit her old friend Marge in Norwich, she finds her holiday immediately interrupted in the worst way possible – an alien invasion! The infamous Zaross have come to take over the Earth.
Or have they? After Jackie calls in the Doctor and Rose to deal with the menace, it soon becomes clear that this is a very unusual invasion indeed.
The Doctor is about to uncover one of the most heinous crimes in the history of the galaxy. And if he can’t stop it, an awful lot of people are going to die.
Infamy of the Zaross, which stars David Tennant and Billie Piper, was lauded by Pop Culture Bandit as “a trip down memory lane to the mid-2000s when Doctor Who was prime-time Saturday night viewing.” And, Blogtor Who’s 10/10 review claimed it “would have made the perfect onscreen episode.”
The Eleventh Doctor Chronicles: The Calendar Man by AK Benedict
Answering a cry for help, the Doctor and Amy arrive on a misty colony world – but nobody thinks anything is wrong. Nobody, except for one young woman, hiding in shadows and scribbling in her notebook.
Soon, Amy is on the trail of missing colonists, while the Doctor strides into the fog in search of a fairy-tale.
But time is running out, and the Calendar Man is flicking through the pages of their lives…
The Calendar Man is narrated by Jacob Dudman, whose take on the Eleventh Doctor proved popular, including with Indie Mac User, who said “the little touches and quirks of his voice show how much he’s studied Matt Smith.” And, CultBox commented on the “fairy tale feel and focusing on the theme of memory”, making it “an enjoyably creepy tale.”
The Twelfth Doctor Chronicles: Field Trip by Una McCormack
Osgood gets an offer she can’t resist when the Doctor drops in – her first flight in the TARDIS!
The Doctor is calling on Osgood’s expertise to stop an invasion, but what begins as a fact-finding mission quickly becomes something far more dangerous. Osgood’s intergalactic field trip is about to get very hands-on!
Sci-Fi Radio described Field Trip as “a choice mix of adventure and thoughtful drama”, while Jacob Dudman, who this time voices the Twelfth Doctor, was applauded by Sci-Fi Pulse as “insanely good at what he does.”
The Thirteenth Doctor Adventures: Vampire Weekend by Tim Foley
It’s Gina’s hen-do and her Maid of Honour has booked a large manor in the Peak District. All her friends should be here – including Yasmin Khan, who’s been mysteriously quiet whilst away on her travels.
But Yaz is bringing a guest. Someone who isn’t invited. Someone who might prove a little disruptive.
The Doctor is joining the celebrations. Unfortunately, so is an ancient enemy…
The debut audio adventure for the pairing of Jodie Whittaker and Mandip Gill, Vampire Weekend was loved by fans and critics on its release earlier this year. Bleeding Cool described it as “as good as it gets”, while Doctor Who TV was thrilled by the Thirteenth Doctor’s new era, saying “we may be on the verge of the real golden age of her character.”
The War Doctor: The Innocent by Nicholas Briggs
As the Daleks mass their time fleet for a final assault on Gallifrey, something ancient is waiting for them at Omega One. And a sacrifice must be made.
Arch-manipulator and Time Lord strategist Cardinal Ollistra receives shock news of the Doctor’s death.
Meanwhile, on the planet Keska, a parochial war has returned to plague a peaceful civilisation after decades of tranquillity. But how can such a war have any connection with the great Time War which, at any one moment in the whole of eternity, could threaten to tear the universe apart?
If only the Doctor were still alive.
Released in 2016 as part of the War Doctor’s first box set, The Innocent was described in Doctor Who Magazine as “an intelligent, captivating and incredibly enjoyable production.” The performance of the late Sir John Hurt received a lot of acclaim, including from Unreality SF, who said “Hurt was one of the best parts of The Day of the Doctor, and he continues to be effortlessly excellent here.”
The Fugitive Doctor: Fast Times by Robert Valentine
When the mysterious Division tries to arrest their equally mysterious agent, the Doctor, she evades capture and heads out in search of answers… but trouble is never far behind.
Captured by bounty hunters and imprisoned in a maximum-security hulk ship, the Doctor is about to learn that there’s no time to stand still when you’re a fugitive. And times are about to get very fast indeed.
This 2025 story was described by Futurism as “a brilliant and thrilling audio drama, one that keeps you hooked from start to finish”, while Who Review praised the lead performance: “Jo Martin seems to have only gotten better in her role since Fugitive of the Judoon, and hopefully she’ll be with Big Finish for years to come.”
