The latest Doctor Who: The Sixth Doctor Adventure is now available from Big Finish.
The Sixth Doctor, portrayed by Colin Baker, has made a comeback in a new Doctor Who audio box set from Big Finish, continuing his journeys with Peri, played by Nicola Bryant. In this latest audio adventure, they are joined by Vislor Turlough, voiced by Mark Strickson, the former companion who once betrayed the Fifth Doctor to the Black Guardian.
Unlike his predecessor, the Sixth Doctor is less forgiving, yet Turlough finds his way back aboard the TARDIS. While the Doctor may be wary of this old ally, they must learn to collaborate on three new adventures through Earth's history.
The three new stories include:
1. **The Reckoning** by Nev Fountain sends the trio back to seventeenth-century London after the TARDIS becomes trapped in the trajectory of a neutron star. They encounter an old acquaintance, Christopher Marlowe, who seeks to escape a deal he made regarding his soul. Yet, has Turlough struck another bargain with the Devil? This adventure features Nigel Fairs as Christopher Marlowe and Eve Winters as Tess.
2. In **A Crucible of Queens** by L M Myles, the Doctor and Turlough find themselves on opposing sides following the Battle of Agincourt. Turlough has allied with Charles, the Dauphin of France, while the Doctor stands with King Charles VII. Additionally, two influential women are involved: Yolande, Duchess of Anjou, and the Dauphin’s estranged mother, Isabeau of Bavaria. Will the TARDIS crew be able to please both queens without facing dire consequences? The cast includes Julie Dray as Yolande of Aragon, Debbie Chazen as Isabeau of Bavaria, Laurent Lafuma as Duke of Burgundy/Charles VI, Narayan David Hecter as Dauphin of France, Randy Guine as Sir Raynald de Charny/Phillipe, and Charlie Tighe as Man-at-Arms.
3. **The Curse of the Duergar** by Julian Richards transports the TARDIS crew back to the Viking era. As the Shieldmaiden Hervor seeks possession of Tyrfing, a sword crafted by the Duergar, the Dwarf kings of the underworld, the Doctor discovers that the sword is cursed and must draw blood once unsheathed. Even the Doctor cannot resist its influence, leading to a shocking moment where Peri and Turlough watch in horror as the Doctor is compelled to take a life. Guest stars include Lara Lemon as Hervor, Daniel Hawksford as Angantyr’s Ghost, Richard Clifford as the Shepherd, and George Naylor as Dvalinn.
**Doctor Who: The Sixth Doctor Adventures – Expulsion** is currently available on the Big Finish website for £19.99 for the digital download, or £24.99 for the download along with a limited collector’s edition CD. Bundle deals are also offered.
