The Ninth Doctor (Christopher Eccleston) is reunited with Rose Tyler (Billie Piper) for the first time since 2005 in Doctor Who: Snare, from audio company, Big Finish.
On 26th March 2005, Doctor Who returned to TV with Rose, introducing us to a new Doctor and a new companion, as they battled against the Autons and the Neste Consciousness. Twenty years later, the adventures of Rose and the Ninth Doctor continue in a brand-new series of full-cast audio dramas. These twelve new stories are set between the events of the episodes, Father’s Day and The Empty Child.
Here’s the blurb for Snare:
Kevin left the Powell Estate a long time ago. He wasn’t going to be trapped there. But all these years later, he’s back and clearing out his dad’s old flat. At least his neighbours, the Tylers, are still here.
But Rose has a strange new man in her life. And this Doctor’s going to show Kevin a world he never knew existed. Unfortunately, something ancient is stirring on the Estate. Perhaps Kevin will be trapped here after all…
Snare guest stars Camille Coduri as Jackie, Rose’s mother; Alex Austin as Kevin, a former Powell Estate resident; and Hannah Brown as Marlene, his posh artist friend.
Writer Tim Foley said:
“I was a kid of the wilderness years, with a knapsack full of books and audios and videos, but 2005 saw actual Doctor Who actually broadcast on the actual telly. It was incredibly special for me then, and the Ninth Doctor and Rose continue to be incredibly special for me now. Wherever you are on the globe, you will surely have heard my whoops of joy when I was asked to write for this new series.
“It’s great to kick things off with Snare, a character-driven opener back on the Powell Estate. We’re picking up right after Father’s Day, where the family drama from that story still continues to make ripples. You’ll meet one of Rose’s old friends, Kevin, and learn what secrets are being hidden in his dad’s old flat. You’ll also encounter Jackie Tyler’s cooking, so stay strong.”
