Big Finish, a British publisher, released audio dramas for Doctor Who. The first twelve Doctors and their various companions have been created by the publisher, with Jodie Whittaker's current 13th incarnation having been locked off due to current licensing rights. A new pair of audio adventures is about to change that.
The first of a new line of books centered on the current era of Doctor Who has been announced by Big Finish. The Doctor who first appeared in the 2020 episode of The Fugitive Doctor was last seen in last year's Doctor. On the Doctor Who website, Martin praised Big Finish for being a vital part of the Doctor Who fandom, and expressed excitement at getting to return to her surprise role. David Richardson teased a whole new era to explore for Martin's Doctor that would help make her own mark on the universe.
Call Me Mas ter is a solo adventure focused on the Doctor's nemesis and fellow Time Lord, and it is currently being played by Sacha Dhawan. The final episode of Whittaker will feature Dahwan as the Master. The audiobook would peel back the layers of the character in a way that would satisfy fans. The Master is a joy to play on so many levels! I can't wait to see what he's going to do without the Doctor around.
Both Fugitive and Master will have their own fully voiced casts for their leads to have time-traveling adventures with. They will have their own collector's edition CD box sets with their six episodes spread across three discs and two volumes. You can download it if you go digital, but they each have their own behind the scenes extras.
Both books are currently available to pre-order, but a release date hasn't been given. Whittaker's era of Doctor Who is about to start.
