Doctor Who Audio News (Jason Arnopp)

I've written two Doctor Who or Doctor Who-related audio releases. They're both original stories rather than adaptations, and are as follows:

THE SARAH JANE ADVENTURES: DEADLY DOWNLOAD

This will be published by BBC Audio on November 4. Every year since the TV series began, the BBC have released two original audio stories alongside the show. I'm really privileged to have written one of the 2010 pair (the other being Wraith World by Cavan Scott and Mark Wright).

I'm also delighted that Deadly Download has been read by Sarah Jane herself, Elisabeth Sladen. Elisabeth's voice is intrinsically linked with my childhood, just like Tom Baker's, and so it's amazing to have her read my 11,000-word prose story on CD.

As you might imagine from the title, Deadly Download concerns the Internet. Hopefully, it should make a fair few younger listeners think twice before chatting to random strangers while online...

DOCTOR WHO: THE DEMONS OF RED LODGE & OTHER STORIES

This will be published by Big Finish - the producer of BBC-licensed Doctor Who, as well as various other franchises - in December. I've written the title story on this collection of four tales, each of which features the Fifth Doctor (played by Peter Davison, for the uninitiated and/or forgetful) and companion Nyssa (Sarah Sutton).

One of the really nice things about this release is that two of the other authors are friends of mine. William Gallagher has written Doing Time, while John Dorney brings us Special Features. I've never met the remaining writer Rick Briggs, but he emerged triumphant from a recent Big Finish competition which earnt him this commission, so I've no doubt that his tale The Entropy Composition will be excellent.
