A new adventure for Sylvester McCoy as the Seventh Doctor, alongside Bonnie Langford and Sophie Aldred as 1980s companions Melanie Bush and Ace. Decades ago, the mysterious time-travelling Doctor and his cheerful companion Mel became the toast of the planet Prosper, when they brokered a peace between the native Mogera and humans from the colony ship The Duke of Milan. But when the TARDIS at last returns to Prosper, the Doctor, Mel and their associate Ace find only a warzone. The burrowing Mogera have become brutal monsters, dominated by their terrifying leader Caliban - and it's all the Doctor's fault! Big Finish's main range of Doctor Who stories began in 1999, and has featured television Doctors Peter Davison, Colin Baker, Sylvester McCoy and Paul McGann across its 216 tales. Sylvester McCoy originally played the Doctor in 1987 - 1989, (then again in 1996) while his other work includes Radagast the Brown in Peter Jackson's epic The Hobbit films and is currently winning hearts in The Real Marigold Hotel. Companion Mel Bush is played by Bonnie Langford - a popular actor of stage and screen, currently featuring in BBC's top hit EastEnders.Companion Ace, as played by Sophie Aldred, is popularly regarded as the prototype for the modern companions in the Doctor Who revival which returned to screens from 2005.
