Big Finish to Release Tenth Doctor Story on Vinyl, Exclusive to ASDA

Big Finish has announced a collaboration with UK supermarket, ASDA, launching an exclusive vinyl edition of Doctor Who: The Creeping Death starring David Tennant and Catherine Tate as the Tenth Doctor and Donna Noble respectively.

The pressing is limited to just 1,000 copies on neon green vinyl, available on in the UK, and follows the success of previous vinyl Big Finish releases exclusive to Sainsbury’s and HMV. Here’s the blurb:

London, 1952, and a deadly smog envelops the capital. But something even more dangerous – and alien – is hiding within the mists. When the Doctor and Donna get lost in the fog, they find a motley group of Londoners trying to make their way home. Soon the stakes are raised as death creeps along fume-choked streets, and not everyone will make it out alive…

The Creeping Death, written by Roy Gill, is one of three stories in Doctor Who – The Tenth Doctor Adventures: Volume Three (Limited Edition) which is also being released later this month.

Roy Gill said:

“Being asked to write for David Tennant and Catherine Tate was already a huge thrill, but how awesome to hear The Creeping Death will be getting a vinyl release too! I think this 1950s tale of a band of London misfits against whatever-it-is that lurks in the smog will work beautifully on a neon green LP! I’m a big vinyl fan already – I share my flat with three record decks, goodness knows how many records, and one long-suffering partner – so I’m super-eager to get my hands on a copy!”

Doctor Who – The Tenth Doctor Adventures: Volume Three (Limited Edition) can be pre-ordered now as a 5-disc CD collector’s edition – limited to 5,000 copies – in deluxe bookset packaging for only £35, with the download version for £25 (available on release).

The Creeping Death will be available from ASDA stores across the UK on Friday 24th May 2019.
