New Doctor Who stories featuring classic foes for the Third Doctor will be released in October with The Planet Killers.

      This October, the Third Doctor (Tim Treloar) and Jo Jones (Katy Manning) are set for thrilling adventures in The Third Doctor Adventures: The Planet Killers, a new audio box set from Big Finish. The upcoming release takes the reunited companions to 19th-century Russia and to a stunning planet where an old adversary awaits.

      The two new stories for the Third Doctor this October include:

      The Beasts of Sakhalin Island – a four-part narrative penned by Jez Fielder. Upon their arrival on Sakhalin Island in 1890, the Doctor and Jo encounter the renowned playwright and author Dr. Anton Chekhov (Joe Eyre), who is documenting the struggles of inmates at the penal colony. As a peculiar infection surfaces and the haunting cries of a tormented creature fill the night, the Doctor suspects that something is being torn from other dimensions.

      The Planet Killers by Andrew Smith. This two-part story transports the time travellers to the stunning world of Paratel, but it isn't long before they discover that the planet is on the brink of destruction. Their battle against its demise, the ruthless extraction of minerals, and the cruel slavery is further complicated by the arrival of an old foe, the Daleks (Nicholas Briggs), whose malevolent plot threatens many lives. Can the Doctor thwart the Daleks and save Paratel from destruction?

      Doctor Who – The Third Doctor Adventures: The Planet Killers is now available for pre-order at £19.99 for the download, or £24.99 for both the download and the limited collector’s edition CD box set. Bundles are also offered.
