A strange creature out for blood... 13.5 Metamorphosis by Lisa McMullin (2 parts) The people of the planet Jaxus are vanishing.

But this Doctor doesn't do domestics, and for once, River might have her work cut out. With time and space against them, these lovers are star-crossed in more ways than most. 4.1 Swipe Right by John Dorney There are strange rumours about the planet Crell. People have been vanishing. The mysterious Matchmaker is keen to get the populace paired up via his special dating app… but rejecting too many suitors can have fatal consequences. It’s precisely the sort of thing the Doctor would want to investigate. But unfortunately it’s also precisely the sort of thing River Song would want to investigate too. The Doctor and River are on a collision course - but this time it might not be a match made in heaven. 4.2 Face of the Apocalypse by Lizzie Hopley After locking onto an unusual algorithm, the TARDIS lands in a hi-security Intergalactic Bank where the computerised system only recognises one face - River Song. The Doctor discovers River dismantling the main computer and immediately suspects her of something dodgy… But a case of stolen identity becomes far more serious as River’s face starts to appear throughout history and the Bank vaults start filling up with Temporal Prisoners. Is River the victim of a sting or a bored computer nerd? One thing’s for certain, the ‘glitch’ is no longer a glitch and is on its way to destroying all of spacetime, starting with Prisoner Number One. 4.3 Archipelago by Tim Foley River Song has one last request. If the Doctor undertakes a dangerous journey with her on the planet Fortuna, she’ll never bother him again. But this is no ordinary voyage. As the storms batter their tiny vessel, the travellers are confronted with some brutal home truths. There is a captain in search of a husband. There is a ship in need of a light. And there are lovers lost in the maelstrom who will always be islands apart...

TDP 1270: #Torchwood 83. Torchwood: Disco PODCAST REVIEW
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 9 minutes and 29 secondsThis title was released in May 2024. It will be exclusively available to buy from the Big Finish website until 31 July 2024, and on general sale after this date. It's 1987 and "Disco" Jones is still dancing. Life and soul, bab, life and soul. Wednesdays is darts at The Merry Miller, Thursdays - shove ha'penny at The Boilermakers, Fridays played by ear, and Saturdays it’s the Disco at Cinderella's. So who is Tom and why does he want to build a fence with him? Gareth David Lloyd said: “It all started last summer, when I said to James that I had an idea for a script and he said he had another couple of thoughts, so would I mind having a look at those as well. “James gave me a few starting points for other ideas, and I chose a pair of them, adapted them, and added my own one, which became Disco.” “Disco has been a long time coming. Ianto's dad has been this nameless entity so far who seems to have been quite a negative force in Ianto’s life. So, I thought it was about time that we made him a three-dimensional character and really looked to who he was and at the reasons Ianto is so affected by him. “Ianto creates an opportunity in Disco to find out who his dad was before he knew him. He is described by old friends as the life and soul of the party. That takes Ianto by surprise as he only knew him as quite a tragic figure. Ianto’s interest is piqued and he wants to meet this version of his dad that people have such fond memories of.” Director Lisa Bowerman said: “Disco is an extraordinary script because Gareth has managed to combine what is essentially a time travelling story with the most authentic, emotional and domestic context. It has a huge arc and a huge depth to it. It’s a brilliant piece of audio drama.” Producer James Goss said: “Disco is a remarkable play. Gareth David-Lloyd tells the story that Torchwood fans have always wanted to know – what's up with Ianto's dad? The answer is joyous and sad. Torchwood at its best takes a classic idea and does something unexpected with it. This is a time travel story about two blokes building a literal fence. It's an epic about the web of time but there's also dancing, darts, and a trip down the dole. “The play is also linked to the Torchwood One box set , released the same month. We've pulled off a coup where a mystery set up in I Hate Mondays is answered in Disco. You can enjoy both titles completely separately, but put together they complete a picture of a truly terrible fortnight in Ianto's life. “Honestly, Disco is magnificent, and Gareth deserves to win all the awards for it.”

TDP 1255: Doctor Who: The Sixth Doctor Adventures: The Quin Dilemma
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 11 minutes and 17 secondsreview To celebrate forty years of wandering through time and space in style, the Sixth Doctor and some of his best friends are about to find themselves in the adventure of his lives... 1. The Exaltation by Jacqueline Rayner Hints of a temporal anomaly bring the Doctor and Mel to Arunopal on the day King Otho steps down as ruler. But Otho has a dilemma - which of his five sons should succeed to the throne? He has a deadly game in mind to solve the problem - and the target is a certain Time Lord... 2. Escape from Holy Island by Chris Chapman The history books tell us that on the 8th of June, 793 AD, the Holy Island of Lindisfarne was burnt to the ground by Viking raiders. But history also records that "fiery dragons were seen flying in the sky" - can that be true? With time running out, the Doctor, Peri and a young HG Wells mobilise the island’s monks as the real raiders of Lindisfarne thunder over the North Sea - and they don’t look like Vikings... 3. Sibling Rivalry by Robert Valentine The Doctor, Constance and Flip are stuck on an alien planet in the middle of a civil war. To make matters worse, the Sontarans have invaded. To make matters worse still, two of the dastardly quins - the volatile Clarent and the odious Dellan - are both on the scene... and the Doctor may not survive their furious competition. 4. Children of the Revolution by Robert Valentine With their plans causing havoc, wicked quins Clarent and Dellan are at loggerheads. But as the schemes of Sontaran Battle Marshal Skurr reach their climax, the only thing more dangerous than the brothers' competing against each other... is the brothers joining forces. 5. The Thousand Year Thaw by Chris Chapman Once every thousand years, the frozen planet of Zycros thaws, revealing the most fertile soil in the universe. For a brief window, Zycros becomes the farming capital of the cosmos, and that brings with it many visitors - including a small blue box and its two occupants, keen to stretch their legs. But as the ice melts and the temperature rises, the Doctor and Peri realise that this pleasant stroll may be the last one they ever take together... 6. The Firstborn by Jacqueline Rayner The Quins have succeeded in their quest - a little too well. Multiple Doctors congregate on Arunopal, bringing with them a terrible threat to reality... This release comes with a bonus audiobook: The Ultimate Poe by Andrew Collins. **Please note: the Collectors' Edition CDs are strictly limited to a pressing of just 1,500 copies**

As more die, the Doctor and Charley need to uncover the cause and why the Sontarans are even on this planet... if they have time.
