The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde (unabridged)
Episode Duration: 0 days, 2 hours, 36 minutes and 11 secondsI think many audiobook listeners would agree that the definitive version of The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde would be the abridged reading by Tom Baker.
Here is an unabridged version to whet your appetite for the forthcoming Big Finish version due for release in August 2022, adapted by Nicholas Briggs.
It may sound strange being read by an Australian, but it was written by a Scottsman and set in London so why not?

Loneliness is a Warm Gun
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 35 minutes and 3 secondsLoneliness is a Warm Gun
by Dwayne Bunney
This is a short story I originally started to write as a project for a creative writing evening class I was attending. At that time I had been quite obessed about the details surrounding the Port Arthur Massacre in 1998, and this story, in a way, was a result of my complete lack of comprehension of the crime.
I structured it deliberately in episodic form (3 parts), and when an opportunity came to pitch it to Big Finish, I inserted the characters of the 5th Doctor and Nyssa (who I swapped the original character "Mary" for). The Doctor Who version was never completed as a pitch only consists of a synopsis and 1 page of story.
But here is the original story without the Doctor Who elements. I hope you like it.
This also gives me the opportunity to change the title back to the name I originally intended, because when the text version was published, the publisher insisted on changing the name to Loneliness "OR" a Warm Gun. I was never happy with that. I'm big on story names and I had a very specific reason why I chose this one. Yes, I stole it from The Beatles.

Perception Filter - A Doctor Who Short Story
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 34 minutes and 21 secondsThis was originally released as part of The Sirens of Audio podcast episode 41. It is now available as a separate bonus release.
Doctor Who - Perception Filter by Dwayne Bunney
Two siblings mourn the loss of their mother. But not because she was a good person. No one else sees her in the same way as they do. Until a little man in a book store coffee shop gives them the chance to discover the answer the question that can no longer be answered.
Who really was the monster that became their mother?
This is an unofficial story set in the Doctor Who universe and made for fun. It is not, nor will ever be monetized.
