In 2019, Big Finish announced the Ninth Doctor’s return to Doctor Who, with a series of full-cast audio dramas that have delighted audiences and critics alike.

Christopher Eccleston said: “Just before Christmas in 2020, I walked into a small recording studio in an industrial estate in North London. Me and the sound engineer looked at each other and we smiled and said, ‘Let's go!’ Then I started playing the Ninth Doctor again, and I loved it."

Big Finish Chairman Jason Haigh-Ellery added: “I am so glad that Christopher enjoyed his time with us.  Bringing the Ninth Doctor back to the Doctor Who universe has been one of the few enjoyable parts of the past few years.”  

Doctor Who fans worldwide can purchase The Ninth Doctor Adventures, which are available in three formats – collector’s edition CD, digital download or limited edition gatefold triple LP vinyl – exclusively at the Big Finish website.

Listeners can save money by ordering a bundle of the entire series from just £88 (as a collector’s edition box set) or £78 (as a download).
