Big Finish has announced some early details of their 50th anniversary Doctor Who special, a multi-Doctor, multi-companion extravaganza by Nicholas Briggs called The Light at the End.
November 23rd 1963 proves to be a significant day in the lives of all eight Doctors…
It’s the day that Bob Dovie’s life is ripped apart…
It’s also a day that sets in motion a catastrophic chain of events which forces the first eight incarnations of the Doctor to fight for their very existence. As a mysterious, insidious chaos unfolds within the TARDIS, the barriers of time break apart…
From suburban England through war-torn alien landscapes and into a deadly, artificial dimension, all these Doctors and their companions must struggle against the power of an unfathomable, alien technology.
From the very beginning, it is clear that the Master is somehow involved. By the end, for the Doctors, there may only be darkness.
Writer, director and executive producer Nicholas Briggs revealed his thinking behind the story:
Alongside the various companions listed above, there’s another Masterful surprise in store, according to David Richardson:
Set for release in November (of course) The Light at the End will be released in two different versions:
- A five-disc limited special edition includes the two-hour story and two hour-long documentaries. Also included is The Revenants, a Companion Chronicles tale performed by original companion William Russell. The special edition comes in beautiful special packaging, including a number of exclusive professionally photographed images of the cast. (£40 CD, £35 download).
- A standard edition – two disc version of the full story (£14.99 CD, £12.99 download).
