Doctor Who: Jubilee

"The Doctor and the Daleks. Have you never thought they are really both the exact same thing?" 
 
It is time to celebrate! Let all the citizens of the glorious English Empire come together and give thanks to that mysterious soldier in time and space known only as the Doctor. For 100 years ago he destroyed a Dalek invasion force without mercy, and became the saviour of us all. 
 
We have just one real Dalek left. Kept alive in the Tower of London, all these years our prisoner. And tomorrow we are going to blow it up, just for you! So put up your Dalek bunting and raise a glass of Dalek Juice. Who knows, there may be a special guest in attendance – the Doctor himself! Oh, you lucky people! 
 
Time to get this party started… 
 
Award-winning author Robert Shearman has penned a brand new, radical reinterpretation of his classic Jubilee – the best-selling Big Finish audio play that became the basis of his Doctor Who TV episode, Dalek.

Doctor Who: The Chimes of Midnight

'Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house not a creature was stirring... 
 
But something must be stirring. Something hidden in the shadows. Something which kills the servants of an old Edwardian mansion in the most brutal and macabre manner possible. Exactly on the chiming of the hour, every hour, as the grandfather clock ticks on towards midnight. 
 
Trapped and afraid, the Doctor and his companion, Charley, are forced to play detective to murders with no motive, where even the victims don't stay dead. Time is running out. 
 
And time itself might well be the killer... 
 
Featuring the Eight Doctor as played on TV by Paul McGann and Charley Pollard as played on audio by India Fisher, The Chimes of Midnight is the second novelisation of a Big Finish audio drama after Jubilee – also by prize-winning playwright and short story writer Robert Shearman.
