<\/div>\n

Paul McGann will return in five new full-cast audio dramas, due for release from late 2023, from audio company, Big Finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since January 2001, the Eighth Doctor has enjoyed an extended run of adventures on audio with a whole host of companions. Now, the TARDIS takes us back in time \u2013 to meet a new fellow traveller, and an unexplored era of the Doctor\u2019s timeline. Jaye Griffiths debuts as the noblewoman, Lady Audacity Montague, who is about to be propelled from Regency England into the far future and the war between the Cybermen and Vogans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Producer David Richardson said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cWe\u2019re exploring a different era of the Eighth Doctor\u2019s adventures, when he made a new friend. We\u2019re long before Lucie Miller, the Ravenous, Baker Street or the Time War, and we\u2019ve got the wonderful Jaye Griffiths bringing Audacity to life brilliantly. Hang on? (I hear you cry) Didn\u2019t Jaye recently play Hieronyma Friend in Time War: Cass? Ssshh… Spoilers…\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
