Two new audio originals starring the Fifteenth Doctor (Ncuti Gatwa) and Ruby Sunday (Millie Gibson) are coming out later this year, the first audio exclusives to feature the current TARDIS team.
On Ghost Beach and Sting of the Sasquatch are due out in November, set sometime during Doctor Who Series 14 and released shortly before the 2024 Christmas special, Joy to the World. Their release, in time for the festive period, is, of course, no coincidence, given that they’d make nice presents for dedicated fans…
They’re read by Susan Twist, who played a recurring role in Series 14, and Genesis Lynea, who played, uh, Harriet Arbinger in The Legend of Ruby Sunday.
Here are the blurbs…
On Ghost Beach
By Niel Bushnell. Read by Susan Twist.
The TARDIS arrives in County Durham, England, in 1958. Seaham Chemical Beach was once a scene of heavy industry, long since abandoned, but now local residents are having nightmares and seeing apparitions.
It isn’t long before the Doctor and Ruby are affected by the beach’s peculiar atmosphere. As they begin to forget exactly who they are, Ruby hears a distant voice calling her on.
Whose memories are filling the travellers’ heads, and what is the significance of Ghost Beach, in the Sea of Despair, on the planet Farfrom? Even more importantly – who is Reg?
Sting of the Sasquatch
By Darren Jones. Read by Genesis Lynea.
In a National Park in North-West America, the Doctor and Ruby are pursued by large, ape-like creatures who seem to literally disappear into the trees. When Ruby falls ill after apparently being stung, the Doctor believes the infection is extra-terrestrial in origin.
They meet Dixie and Greg, two Bigfoot hunters determined to track down the mythical Sasquatch. Standing in their way is Ranger Peone, who’s adamant that the forest is too dangerous to explore. Dozens of people have vanished, or reappeared with no memory, in the last month alone.
Then the ape creatures kidnap Ruby, and the Doctor is determined to both save her life and solve the mystery of the Sasquatch.
On Ghost Beach and Sting of the Sasquatch are released on 7th November 2024 and are available to pre-order now.
