And even an ending that crosses between Battlefield hero moment and the final scenes from Death to the Daleks. Alien menace in the dark from Image of the Fendahl. Creepy aristocracy member with library from Terror of the Zygons. Strange goings on at an ancient burial site from Daemons. Alien creature trapped on earth in opening minutes from City of Death. It is clear that Nicholas Pegg is a fan of the show and he dips into so many moments from the past but combines them in such a way that you can’t but smile. The Spectre of Lanyon Moor pulls out every trick in the Doctor Who book but does it so well you can hardly notice its homage to many, many previous Doctor Who shows. There is something quintessentially Doctor Who when it comes to creepy English villages, mystical powers and dark forces from the dawn of time. It was like Christmas!”ĭoctor Who – Out of Time 2: The Gates of Hell is now available exclusively from the Big Finish website. “My brief was simple, just the basic ingredients, and they were all amazing. One of my earliest television memories is Peter Davison pushing a Dalek out of a first floor window on Shad Thames, so he always felt like my Doctor, and I welled up a bit when the Tenth Doctor said the same thing in Time Crash.” Writer David Llewellyn added: “It’s probably a bit of a cliché, but this was ‘dream come true’ stuff. If Children in Need’s Time Crash left you wanting more, then here it is!” It features a smashing script from David Llewellyn that shows these two Doctors at their very best, saving the universe together while facing one of their oldest foes. Producer David Richardson said: “The Gates of Hell is really lovely stuff. The Doctors must travel back in time to find the source of the Cyber-invasion and close the Gates of Hell… He hides from the Nazis – in the Catacombs.Ī collision of two Doctors’ timelines triggers a temporal catastrophe, granting the Cybermen dominion over the Earth. The Tenth Doctor misses his target and lands in occupied France. The Fifth Doctor takes a tour of the Catacombs and meets a sassy Time Agent doing the same… Joining Davison and Tennant in the cast are Mark Gatiss (Sherlock, Dracula) as Joseph Delon, Shelley Conn (Terra Nova, Liar) as Tina Drake and Nicholas Briggs as the Cybermen.
