A short synopsis, below, gives a few more details.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cIn the depths of space, the mysterious Hodiac is manipulating the Galactic Stock Exchange to raise money. His aim? To hire mercenaries for a deadly quest across the stars.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cMeanwhile, on Earth, an ordinary British family is plagued by a series of psychic events. <\/em><em>The one thing connecting these events is a magnificent patchwork coat \u2013which just so happens to belong to the Doctor!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Originally written in the 1980s and rediscovered by Davies during the pandemic, Mind of the Hodiac was an original script for then-series stars Colin Baker and Bonnie Langford, which was put away and forgotten about for many years.<\/p>\n<p>After Davies unearthed it, it didn\u2019t take long for regular Who audio producers Big Finish to take a crack at it, working with Davies and regular audio dramatist Scott Handcock to bring Mind of the Hodiac to life at last.<\/p> <p>Now it\u2019s here, with an ensemble cast including Laurie Kynaston, Annette Badland, T\u2019Nia Miller, Alexander Vlahos, Raj Ghatak, Sutara Gayle and Luyanda Unati Lewis-Nyawo.<\/p>\n<p>And while its production has been a little overshadowed by the announcement of Davies\u2019 full return to TV Who, we\u2019re sure plenty of fans will still be fascinated to step into this story.<\/p>\n<p>After all, it\u2019s the only \u201cnew\u201d RTD Who script they\u2019re likely to get their hands on for over a year.
