Big Finish has announced that, for the first time, it will be releasing classic Doctor Who<\/a> audio dramas as part of a free podcast, Into the TARDIS.<\/p>\n

The podcast, which will start releasing weekly on Saturdays from March 2024, will showcase fan-favourite stories from Big Finish\u2019s back catalogue, presented in episodic, 30-minute instalments.<\/p>\n

Each episode will feature a brand-new introduction read by Sixth Doctor star Colin Baker, and will also include behind-the-scenes interviews, with the podcast being available via all podcast platforms, with listeners able to stream it for free with ads.<\/p>\n

The podcast will be marking 25 years of Big Finish Doctor Who output, and the first two episodes will serialise 2016\u2019s Death and the Queen, which was written by James Goss and stars David Tennant and Catherine Tate.<\/p>\n
