New audio adventures await the Fugitive Doctor in 2025
Jo Martin and Alice Krige star in a brand-new box set of full-cast audio drama due to be released in January 2025, as the long-awaited Fugitive Doctor lands at Big Finish Productions.
Producer David Richardson said: “This was an absolute treat to work on. The Fugitive Doctor is such a brilliant, head-turning twist in this amazing long-running show we all love, and script editor Robert Valentine and I had such fun making plans.
“Thirteenth Doctor showrunner, Chris Chibnall, very generously gave up his time and met with us on Zoom while we threw around ideas and he gave us some clarifications about this most enigmatic era of Doctor Who. We came out of that meeting elated, full of purpose and sure of our direction.
“Chris told us that Jo was fantastic and a gorgeous person to work with, and he was absolutely right of course – she came into the studio full of joy for the part, always smiling, always brilliant and charismatic. The Fugitive Doctor now has her own audio series – and as the saying goes, it’s about time…”
Okay, I actually think it's pretty cool that Chibnall is taking an active interest in the audio stuff.
I'd be disappointed if he didn't have any headcanon to add, given he plopped the Fugitive Doctor in our laps without much hint of where she fits... but yeah, glad to hear he's sharing that knowledge rather than leave it to other writers' imaginations!
Jo Martin and Alice Krige? Yes, please!
