May is proving to be an exciting month for Doctor Who<\/a> fans, bringing everything from the release of Ncuti Gatwa\u2019s first season as the Doctor to news of brand new audio stories.<\/p>\n

Through full cast audio dramas, fans will get the chance to listen to two Doctor Who \u2013 The Lost Stories in July: Deathworld and Operation Werewolf.<\/p>\n

Since 2009, Big Finish Productions has taken scripts and story treatments that were submitted to the BBC during the classic era of Doctor Who and were never produced for television, and adapted them into full cast audio dramas.<\/p>\n

As for what these specific audios will entail, Deathworld is based on an original treatment, written by Bob Baker and Dave Martin, which became the 10th anniversary of The Three Doctors.<\/p>\n

The adaptation has been written by John Dorney and features the First, Second and Third Doctors, voiced by Stephen Noonan, Michael Troughton and Tim Treloar.<\/p>\n

Producer David O\u2019Mahony said: \u201cAfter Baker and Martin submitted the idea for Deathworld in 1972, the story had many challenges and went through multiple rounds of rewrites and changes to characters, locations and actors, to the point that The Three Doctors was now completely different to the story first conceived.<\/p>\n

\u201cJohn Dorney and script editor Simon Guerrier wanted to go back to the original concept and explore what that idea could have been.<\/p>\n

\u201cDeathworld is the epitome of a Lost Story \u2013 taking a great idea and being able to fulfil it without the time and budget constraints of when it was pitched for television.\u201d<\/p>

Doctor Who \u2013 The Lost Stories: Deathworld is now available to pre-order as a collector\u2019s edition 2-disc CD box set for \u00a315.99, or download only for \u00a312.99, exclusively from the Big Finish website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Operation Werewolf is based on a storyline submitted in 1967 by Douglas Canfield and Robert Kitts. Set in Normandy in 1994, the audio follows the Doctor and his companions as they discover secret Nazi experiments.<\/p>\n

Written for audio by Jonathan Morris, the drama stars Michael Troughton as the Second Doctor, Frazer Hines as Jamie and Wendy Padbury as Zoe.<\/p>\n

Big Finish listeners can pre-order Doctor Who \u2013 The Lost Stories: Operation Werewolf as a collector\u2019s edition 3-disc CD box set for \u00a322.99 or download only for \u00a318.99.<\/p>\n

Deathworld and Operation Werewolf are also available together as a bundle, which can be pre-ordered for just \u00a337 (collector\u2019s edition CDs + downloads) or \u00a331 (downloads only).<\/p>\n
