The Doctor Who 50th anniversary special wasn’t our last chance to get David Tennant and Billie Piper back together for some Doctor Who—and they’re finally going to actually acknowledge each other/give us actual Rose Tyler rather than The Moment” this time! Always and forever, we will appreciate how easy time travel shows make it to slip in any additional adventure writers can dream up.
The pair will kick off Volume Two of Big Finish’s Tenth Doctor Adventures series that previously brought Tennant’s incarnation of the Time Lord back together with Catherine Tate as Donna Noble. Not to be left out, Jackie Tyler (Camille Coduri) will also return for the audio dramas, which will include three new stories. Executive producer Jason Haigh-Ellery said, “Getting David and Billie back together was definitely on my bucket list—two wonderful actors who created an era of Doctor Who which is so fondly remembered and brought a different aspect of the relationship between the Doctor and his companion to the fore—love, both platonic and unrequited. It’s great to have the Tenth Doctor and Rose back again!”
The three episodes are Infamy of the Zaross (by John Dorney), Sword of the Chevalier (by Guy Adams), and Cold Vengeance (by Matt Fitton). The first centers on an alien invasion of Earth that’s not what it seems, the second has the Doctor and Rose “arrive in Slough in 1791 and encounter Chevalier D’Eon, an enigmatic ex-spy who has lived their life as a woman,” and the third on a deep space asteroid where old Who villains, the Ice Warriors, are thawing out. All three episodes are coming in November, with preorders already open on Big Finish’s site—including a special edition set to really commemorate the moment.
