Doctor Who – The Lost Stories: Alixion marks the comeback of the Seventh Doctor and Ace.

      Big Finish has launched a brand-new audio adaptation of an unproduced Doctor Who television story as part of their Doctor Who – The Lost Stories series. The latest tale, titled Alixion, features the Seventh Doctor and Ace taking a break from their adventures at a luxurious retreat; however, their relaxation is short-lived due to a malevolent alien creature.

      When the Doctor and Ace visit a high-end health spa, they quickly find themselves under the control of a malicious entity lurking behind the sleek walls. This entity, which exploits their memories and regrets, aims to dominate all of time and space, even willing to drain the Doctor's life force to achieve its goal. Will the Doctor and Ace be able to thwart this threat before it proves fatal?

      Alixion was initially commissioned from writer Robin Mukherjee in 1989 but was never produced due to the unfortunate decision to cancel the TV show. Fortunately, Robin Mukherjee has now adapted the script himself for his debut with Big Finish.

      Sylvester McCoy remarked, “I didn’t know that this idea had been developed back in 1989; had we continued with the fourth season, we would have produced this story, which was ultimately set aside, but now it's been revived. It’s fantastic, a delightful story filled with humor and mystery, and wonderfully crafted.”

      Doctor Who – The Lost Stories: Alixion can now be purchased on the Big Finish website for £13.99 for the download or £16.99 for the download along with a collector’s edition 2-disc CD. A multi-buy bundle is also offered, including March’s Genesis of the Cybermen for £26 for the download or £32 for the download plus collector’s edition CDs.
