The beloved duo, the Tenth Doctor, portrayed by David Tennant, and his cherished companion Rose Tyler, played by Billie Piper, are set to thrill fans once more in a series of brand new audio adventures. This exciting announcement from Big Finish Productions promises to bring back the magic and dynamism of one of Doctor Who’s most popular eras, offering listeners a chance to relive the adventures of the Doctor Who Tenth Doctor and Rose.
Infamy of the Zaross: An Unconventional Invasion Unfolds
The first adventure, “Infamy of the Zaross” penned by John Dorney, throws Jackie Tyler into an unexpected alien crisis. Visiting her friend Marge in Norwich for a peaceful holiday, Jackie’s plans are dramatically derailed by an alien invasion. The Zaross, notorious throughout the galaxy, have arrived on Earth, seemingly intent on conquest. However, when Jackie summons the Doctor and Rose to intervene, they quickly realize this is far from a typical invasion. The Doctor Who Tenth Doctor is about to uncover a truly sinister plot, one of the most reprehensible crimes in galactic history. The stakes are incredibly high, as the Doctor races against time to prevent a catastrophic loss of life.
The Sword of the Chevalier: Intrigue in 1791
Guy Adams crafts the second enthralling story, “The Sword of the Chevalier,” which transports the Doctor Who Tenth Doctor and Rose to the year 1791. Here, they encounter the Chevalier d’Eon, a truly remarkable and historically significant figure shrouded in mystery and intrigue. Known for espionage and a life lived defying convention, the Chevalier’s true identity is a fascinating enigma, a concept that resonates deeply with the Doctor’s own understanding of self. As the Doctor eloquently puts it, “identity is what you make it.” This notion of self-determination is soon overshadowed by a looming threat: the Consortium of the Obsidian Asp. This shadowy organization threatens not just individual identities, but all life itself, plunging the Doctor and Rose into a perilous mission to save existence from the Asp’s nefarious designs.
Cold Vengeance: An Ice Warrior’s Frozen Fury
The final adventure, “Cold Vengeance” by Matt Fitton, takes the Doctor Who Tenth Doctor and Rose to the chilling depths of Coldstar. This colossal freezer satellite serves as a vital supply depot for a distant colony world, laden with provisions to sustain life. However, beneath the icy surface, danger lurks. Cracks appear in the ice, and unsettling movements hint at something sinister within. The TARDIS team soon finds themselves entangled with robots, opportunistic space pirates, and surprisingly, refuse collectors, painting a bizarre and dangerous picture. As Coldstar’s frozen tunnels begin to thaw, a formidable and familiar foe emerges – an Ice Warrior. This ancient enemy of the Doctor seeks retribution, enacting a plan of cold, calculated vengeance. The Doctor Who Tenth Doctor must confront this icy menace to prevent a devastating act of revenge.
