Sylvester McCoy and Sophie Aldred are back for more exciting Doctor Who escapades in October.

      This October, Sylvester McCoy and Sophie Aldred will return to their roles as the Seventh Doctor and Ace in Doctor Who: The Seventh Doctor Adventures – Wicked! This set features three original audio adventures that take place shortly after Ace joins the Doctor aboard the TARDIS, far from her home. With treasure hunts, mysteries to unravel, and encounters with iconic heroes ahead, Ace is set to think it’s absolutely “Wicked!”

      In the 1987 Doctor Who television episode "Dragonfire," the Doctor welcomed Ace onto the TARDIS, and this upcoming box set in the Seventh Doctor Adventures series delves into the events that follow in three new stories: "Backwards and in Heels" by Alison Winter, "The Price of Snow" by Katharine Armitage, and "The Ingenious Gentlemen" by Alan Ronald. Throughout these narratives, the Doctor and Ace will travel to 1920s Soho, explore a lavish ski resort in the 2070s, and visit 15th century Spain, where they meet Alonso Quixano, a renowned adventurer better known as Don Quixote.

      Script editor Matt Fitton remarked, “The lonely Time Lord begins to recognize the potential of his new young protégée, while the rebellious teenager from Perivale discovers the vastness of the universe. These are Ace’s initial journeys in the TARDIS – a chaotic treasure hunt in 1920s London, peril on the snowy slopes of future Earth, and a meeting with another pair that reflects the time travelers. ‘The Seventh Doctor meets Don Quixote’ is such a brilliant concept; I can’t believe it hasn’t been done before!”

      Doctor Who: The Seventh Doctor Adventures – Wicked! will be available exclusively on the Big Finish website this October. Listeners can pre-order the digital download for £19.99 or a limited collector’s edition 3-disc box set for £24.99 now.
