Allons-y, Doctor Who fans! The Tenth Doctor and Donna Noble will soon make a comeback, thanks to Big Finish Productions, who recently announced that David Tennant and Catherine Tate will reprise their roles from the television series in three new audio adventures.
During their run as the Doctor and Donna, Tennant and Tate have often been fan favorites of those watching the series, so news of their reunion for Big Finish has fans excited for the new audio dramas.
"I still remember the sense of joy I had when I heard that David had been asked to play the Doctor," says Big Finish executive producer Jason Haigh-Ellery in a press release. 'We were all so pleased for him - as we knew how much Doctor Who meant to him. And now David comes full circle, back doing Doctor Who with Big Finish - except that this time he's playing the Doctor! It's the same but different - it's wonderful to have him back!'
The first of the Tenth Doctor audio dramas, "Technophobia" takes the Doctor and Donna to a futuristic London, where an evil force begins preventing humans from using everyday technology. In "Time Reaver," the pair visits "an entirely mechanical planet" that is "full of scoundrels, where a deadly black market has opened up in a device known only as the Time Reaver."
Finally, the third Tenth Doctor adventure, "Death and the Queen," drops Donna in the middle of a romance with the man of her dreams. Of course, this is Doctor Who, so something is, obviously, amiss.
"This is one of those dream projects where I've spent months pinching myself," said producer David Richardson. "I'm covered in bruises. With two major international stars in place, and the legacy of this era of the TV show to live up to, we've worked our socks off to try and make some very special stories for this box set. Expect adventure, fun, scares... and some tears too."
Big Finish also released an exclusive video featuring Tennant and Tate.
