      This month sees the release of the latest<span style="font-weight: bold;"> Dark Shadows</span> Dramatic Reading. <span style="font-style: italic;">Curse of the Pharaoh</span> is an all-new drama starring Nancy Barrett and Marie Wallace. Both actors have made cameo appearances in the full-cast <span style="font-weight: bold;">Dark Shadows </span>audio dramas and now take the lead for this new story. Nancy reprises her classic role as Carolyn Stoddard, while Marie tackles an intriguing new character.<br /><br />Famed Egyptologist Dr Gretchen Warwick has come to Collinwood, searching for the answers to life in the hereafter. At first, Carolyn cannot understand why Warwick needs her help, but, to her horror, she soon discovers that she is the key to the dark, dangerous world on the other side of death...<br /><br />?Gretchen Warwick is a mystery,? says writer Stephen Mark Rainey. ?She?s brilliant and eccentric ? not to mention abrasive. As a woman accustomed to being in a position of authority, she?s just the kind to raise Carolyn?s hackles!?<br /><br />Marie Wallace is full of enthusiasm for her new character, Gretchen: ?When I received the script, I read it from beginning to end and was so intrigued by the character of Gretchen. She had all the qualities that make a person interesting, compelling, fascinating, and out of the ordinary. Such fun to play! And of course, to then work opposite Nancy Barrett, with whom I hadn?t been on camera for many a year, why, I couldn?t ask for anything more? Until the next script comes along!?<span style="font-style: italic;"><br /><br />Curse of the Pharaoh</span> is the first in a new series of six <span style="font-weight: bold;">Dark Shadows</span> dramatic readings, with the remaining five titles following monthly from January-May 2010. January's release is written by D Lynn Smith and will star Lara Parker and Kathryn Leigh Scott as Angelique and Josette duPres. &quot;After recording <span style="font-style: italic;">Echoes of Insanity</span> earlier this year, Lara Parker suggested we do an Angelique and Josette story with a twist,&quot; says series producer Stuart Manning. &quot;It's a great new exploration of the two characters and should be going into studio shortly.&quot; <br /><br />The second series of dramatic readings is available to pre-order now.<br />

      July 2010 brings another season of three stories for the Fifth Doctor, this time reuniting members of the TV cast for the first time in 26 years. ?Janet Fielding will be back as Tegan Jovanka,? says Nick Briggs, ?for three stories that include Peter Davison as the Fifth Doctor, Sarah Sutton as Nyssa and Mark Strickson as Vislor Turlough. Getting these actors together in one studio is a first for us - Janet has only done one play with us before, while Mark now lives in New Zealand. But they?ve all committed to the project and we couldn?t be more excited!?<br />?The idea first came about when we were recording a <span style="font-weight: bold;">Companion Chronicle </span>with Mark earlier in the year,? adds producer David Richardson. ?He and I were chatting in the green room, and he mentioned the fact that he?d be willing to fly back again from New Zealand to record a season of stories. And wouldn?t it be nice, if Janet was willing too, to get the whole team back together?<br />?I rang Nick and script editor Alan Barnes, and both thought it was a great idea. So I got hold of Janet?s number, and rang her up at home one Sunday. Imagine our delight when she agreed!?<br />Meanwhile, the title for the February 2010 release has been revealed, comprising the three-parter <span style="font-style: italic;">Survival of the Fittest </span>by Jonathan Clements, alongside the one-parter <span style="font-style: italic;">Klein?s Story</span> by John Ainsworth and Lee Mansfield.

      Following on from last month?s announcement that Nazi scientist Elizabeth Klein (Tracey Childs) will be joining the Seventh Doctor for a season of three audio stories, Big Finish has released more news concerning its output in 2010.<br />?We?re trying something a little different next year,? announces executive producer Nicholas Briggs, ?with some surprising combinations of Doctors and companions. So it?s with great pleasure that I can announce that Frazer Hines will be reprising the role of Jamie McCrimmon, joining the Sixth Doctor for four brand new adventures.?<br />Three of these stories will comprise a season of full-cast plays, to be released between April and June. The fourth will be a tie-in <span style="font-weight: bold;">Companion Chronicle</span> story, which will be released in May, and will be performed by Hines alongside an as yet unnamed guest star. Hines, of course, accompanied the Second Doctor in his travels on TV between 1966-1969, and returned alongside the Second and Sixth Doctors in <span style="font-style: italic;">The Two Doctors </span>(1984). <br /><br />

      It's been a tiring but stunning fortnight of convention-going. The two Pauls (Spragg and Wilson) enjoyed a day at Fantom Films' Sixth Sense event, with Colin Baker, India Fisher and Maggie Stables, amongst others, on fine form, while Jason headed off to New York for the yearly Dark Shadows festival. Heading for Chicago, he then teamed up with Mr Spragg for Creation's Stargate event, at which&nbsp;they took to the stage for 30 minutes to discuss the audio adventures of Stargate (and a bit of Doctor Who too).<br /><br />We've met fans old and new, had a great time, and been made exceedingly welcome at all of the events, so an enormous thanks to everyone who bought from us, listened to us or who has just dropped by to check out the website and learn more about what we do. Hi! Welcome! Do please check out our assorted ranges, visit the forums and join in with the discussions! All are welcome.

He also wrote the TV series episode <span style="font-weight: bold; ">Dalek</span>.<br /><br />Now, Big Finish are proud to announce that November 2009 will see the publication of Rob's second collection of short stories, <span style="font-weight: bold; ">Love Songs for the Shy and Cynical</span>. His first collection, <span><span style="font-style: italic; ">Tiny Deaths</span></span>, won a World Fantasy Award.<br /><br />Here's what new Doctor Who executive producer and head writer <span style="font-weight: bold; ">Steven Moffat</span> has to say of Rob's latest short story collection: 'Shearman offers us haunting, nightmare alternatives to our world that are still somehow utterly recognisable, thank to the way he always picks out the comically mundane among the impossible and the fantastical. He makes each story cling to you, forces you to make sense of it and somehow inhabit it.'<br /><br />In this free podcast, Rob discusses his new book with old chum Nick Briggs.

      The Seventh Doctor is to get a new travelling companion? but it?s not someone he would want aboard the TARDIS! Big Finish has announced a new trilogy of <span style="font-weight: bold;">Doctor Who </span>adventures, running from January to March 2010, which sees the return of Nazi scientist Elizabeth Klein, who stole the TARDIS and changed the course of history in the popular story <span style="font-style: italic;"><a href="http://www.bigfinish.com/25-Doctor-Who-Colditz">Colditz</a></span>.<br />?<span style="font-style: italic;">Colditz</span> was actually number 25 in our range of <span style="font-weight: bold;">Doctor Who</span> audio adventures,? says script editor John Ainsworth, ?and it?s been exciting to revisit the character over 100 CDs and (for us) eight years later. In that time we?ve had many requests from fans demanding that we bring the character back, so we?re thrilled that Tracey Childs, who recently appeared in the TV series in <span style="font-style: italic;">The Fires of Pompeii</span>, has returned to the role to challenge the Seventh Doctor, who we find at a point in his life where he is travelling solo.?<br />?I am, of course, completely delighted to be returning to the role of Klein again,? adds Tracey Childs. ?And am overjoyed that those in power have seen fit to bring her back... though frankly how anyone might ever have thought they could get by without my presence is a mystery to me. But maybe playing a megalomaniacal time travelling Nazi physicist is starting to go to my head!?<br />The first story in the season is <span style="font-style: italic;"><a href="http://www.bigfinish.com/130-Doctor-Who-A-Thousand-Tiny-Wings">A Thousand Tiny Wings</a></span>, which is set in the jungles of Kenya during the Mau Mau uprising of the 1950s. It is written by Andy Lane, the man behind the popular <span style="font-weight: bold;">Companion Chronicles</span> <span style="font-style: italic;"><a href="http://www.bigfinish.com/31-Doctor-Who-The-Companion-Chronicles-Here-There-Be-Monsters">Here There Be Monsters</a></span> and <span style="font-style: italic;"><a href="http://www.bigfinish.com/311-Doctor-Who-The-Companion-Chronicles-The-Mahogany-Murderers">The Mahogany Murderers</a></span>, while Ann Bell (Marion Jefferson in <span style="font-weight: bold;">Tenko</span>) guest stars as Sylvia O?Donnell, and Lisa (<span style="font-weight: bold;">Bernice Summerfield</span>) Bowerman directs.<br />This is followed by an as-yet untitled story by Jonathan Clements, and the trilogy climaxes with<span style="font-style: italic;"> The Architects of History</span> by Steve Lyons, which is set in Earth?s future.<br />Meanwhile Big Finish has also confirmed the guest cast for its eagerly awaited season of stories set in Stockbridge, the village immortalised in several <span style="font-style: italic;">Doctor Who Magazine</span> comic strips, and featuring the Fifth Doctor and Nyssa. <span style="font-style: italic;"><a href="http://www.bigfinish.com/127-Doctor-Who-Castle-of-Fear">The Castle of Fear</a></span> (October 2009) features Joe Thomas (from the award-winning E4 comedy <span style="font-weight: bold;">The Inbetweeners</span>) as Hubert and actor and impressionist John Sessions (<span style="font-weight: bold;">Doctor Who</span>: <span style="font-style: italic;">Death Comes to Time</span>) as Roland. <span style="font-style: italic;"><a href="http://www.bigfinish.com/128-Doctor-Who-The-Eternal-Summer">The Eternal Summer</a></span> (November 2009) includes Mark Williams (<span style="font-weight: bold;">The Fast Show</span>, Arthur Weasley in the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Harry Potter</span> films) as UFO hunter Maxwell Edison and Pam Ferris (<span style="font-weight: bold;">Rosemary and Thyme</span>, <span style="font-weight: bold;">Little Dorrit</span>) as Lizzie Corrigan.

      Work is continuing on <span style="font-weight: bold;">Doctor Who: The Lost Stories</span>, audio versions of scripts that were written for television during the 1980s but were never made. Colin Baker is reprising the role of the Sixth Doctor, while Nicola Bryant is back as his assistant Peri Brown.<br />This month has seen the recording of <span style="font-style: italic;">Paradise 5</span> by renowned script writer PJ Hammond (<span style="font-weight: bold;">Sapphire and Steel</span>, <span style="font-weight: bold;">Torchwood</span>), which has been adapted for audio by Andy Lane. The story finds the Doctor and Peri investigating strange happenings on an alien holiday resort, where guests have gone missing and mysterious aliens haunt the storage rooms.<br />?Director Barnaby Edwards has assembled a stellar cast for this production,? says <span style="font-weight: bold;">Lost Stories</span> producer David Richardson. ?In the pivotal role of Gabriel, the host of Paradise 5, we?re delighted to have Alex Macqueen, who is perhaps best known for his roles in <span style="font-weight: bold;">The Thick of It</span>, <span style="font-weight: bold;">In the Loop</span> and <span style="font-weight: bold;">The Inbetweeners</span>. Playing Gabriel?s right hand man Michael is James D?Arcy, whose films include<span style="font-weight: bold;"> Master and Commander</span>, <span style="font-weight: bold;">Exorcist: The Beginning</span> and <span style="font-weight: bold;">An American Haunting</span>. Both of them relished the opportunity to enter the surreal world of the Cherubs and the Elohim.?<br />Other entries in the season include <span style="font-style: italic;">Mission to Magnus</span> (which features popular monsters the Ice Warriors and Sil), <span style="font-style: italic;">The Hollows of Time</span> (which sees the return of the Tractators), <span style="font-style: italic;">Leviathan </span>(by the late Brian Finch), <span style="font-style: italic;">Point of Entry </span>(storyline by Barbara Clegg, adapted by Marc Platt), <span style="font-style: italic;">The Macros</span> (co-written by actress Ingrid Pitt) and <span style="font-style: italic;">The Space Whale</span> (by well-known comics writer Pat Mills). The series kicks off in November, with <span style="font-style: italic;">The Nightmare Fair</span>, which is set in Blackpool and sees the return of the Celestial Toymaker.<br />Subscriptions are available now for the fantastic price of £80 for all eight CDs (or £75 for the downloads). This represents a massive saving of almost £40 for the season but the offer expires on August 31 2009 - so make sure to subscribe now by clicking <a href="http://www.bigfinish.com/Doctor-Who:-The-Lost-Stories">here</a>.<br /><br />Photo: James D'Arcy, Colin Baker and Alex Macqueen, by Barnaby Edwards<br /><br /><br />

      A PERSONAL APOLOGY FROM EXEC PRODUCER NICK BRIGGS<br /><br />This is a big apology to all our loyal listeners who have experienced delays in receiving their books and CDs from us recently. This has come about because of a combination of staff on holiday and the unexpected popularity of our Summer Sale.<br /><br />The backlog is currently being reduced, but we also understand the intense frustration being caused by a lack of responses from our sales email address and sales telephone number. The reason for this is that our sales staff are working hard on reducing the backlog of orders, and this has left them too busy to tackle the emails and answer the phone.<br /><br />We are a small company and we don't have massive resources, but rest assured that all orders will be fulfilled. We are working hard to ensure this doesn't happen again. If you have not had your sales enquiry responded to, please try the <a href="mailto:enquiries@bigfinish.com">enquiries@bigfinish.com</a> address.<br /><br />Once again, my sincerest apologies to you all. Please bear with us, we are doing our best to get everything back on track and aim to have everything back to normal by the end of the month.<br /><br />Best wishes,<br /><br />Nick Briggs<br /><br /><br />

      <![CDATA[
      Big Finish makes a long-awaited return to the <span style="font-style: italic;">2000 AD</span> universe in October for a brand new series of adventures in crime and space. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Judge Dredd: Crime Chronicles</span> finds the iconic lawman of Mega City One starring in four new stories where he faces off against foes old and new and, for the final story, partners up with a fellow Judge played by <span style="font-weight: bold;">Doctor Who</span>?s Louise Jameson. Officially licensed by Rebellion, who publish <span style="font-style: italic;">2000 AD</span> and <span style="font-style: italic;">The Judge Dredd Megazine</span>, each story is a dramatic reading, with full sound design and a specially drawn cover by <span style="font-style: italic;">2000 AD</span> artist Cliff Robinson, and features Toby Longworth as Judge Dredd. John Ainsworth is thrilled, saying: ?As producer of the first eighteen <span style="font-weight: bold;">2000 AD</span> audio dramas for Big Finish, I am delighted to return to the series with these four new productions and to once again work with Toby Longworth, who is the perfect Judge Dredd'.<br /><br />The series begins with <span style="font-style: italic;">Stranger Than Truth</span> by David Bishop and told by Brit-Cit academic, Eliza Blunt (Helen Kay). Captured and imprisoned by Judge Dredd, author Truman Kaput has spent years in the Mega City One iso-cubes, his work banned. His crime: writing lurid detective novels in which the ficticious Slick Dickens repeatedly outwits the cowardly bully, Judge Dredd. Now a new Truman Kaput novel is being serialised, and each chapter predicts an imminent murder with chilling accuracy. Has Slick Dickens escaped the page to commit real crimes in Mega City One? Is a serial killer using the chapters as templates for their crime? Where does fiction end and the truth start? Can Dredd stop the plot before his nemesis fulfils the finale of Slick Dickens: I Killed Judge Dredd?<br /><br />In <span style="font-style: italic;">Blood Will Tell</span> by James Swallow, a frenzied mutant attack on Mega City One's shield wall is revealed to be the cover for a group of infiltrators, Judge Dredd tells the story of how was forced to face a deadly opponent from his past: Garris Hale, a man whose life he destroyed. Back from exile in the radioactive wilderness of the Cursed Earth, Hale has possession of a dark secret ? a secret so explosive that it could plunge the entire city into anarchy and chaos! With his judgement in question and the future of his city in the balance, Dredd must face a lethal enemy intent on revenge at any cost!<br /><br />The third tale, <span style="font-style: italic;">The Devil?s Playground</span> by Jonathan Clements, is narrated by Wendy Plainfolk (Gemma Wardle) and finds Judge Dredd hunting a killer on the loose, his only lead a girl who's never seen the sky or the streets. Raised in a religious commune, locked in a closed farming habitat in the heart of the city, Wendy Plainfolk knows nothing of the temptations and dangers of Dredd's world. But she is the only link to a double homicide in a place she calls the Devil's Playground: Mega City One.<br /><br />Finally, much-loved <span style="font-weight: bold;">Doctor Who</span> alumnus Louise Jameson (Leela) narrates <span style="font-style: italic;">Double Zero</span> in the guise of Judge Anderson. On the Mills-Wagner scale of psychic potentiality, the Double Zero rating is ranked as the lowest possible level of human telepathic receptability and/or psionic ability. [See also: mind-blind; mundane; pariah effect, brain burn]. When a strange premonition draws Psi-Judge Cassandra Anderson to her fellow law officer, Joe Dredd, what begins as an inkling of something sinister soon becomes a matter of life and death. With telepathic secret agents from a dozen city-states infiltrating the Big Meg in search of a psychic weapon called 'the pariah', Anderson and Dredd find themselves in a race against time to save the life of an innocent child ? with the power to start a war.<br /><br />The <span style="font-weight: bold;">Judge Dredd: Crime Chronicles</span> begin in October and are released monthly until January, priced £9.99 per CD and £7.99 for an MP3 download. You can pre-order them <a href="http://www.bigfinish.com/Judge-Dredd:-Crime-Chronicles">here</a>.<br /><br />
