Big Finish has released a press release for their 50th Anniversary story, The Light at the End, which will star 5 Doctors and 5 companions and it will be out in November.
In November 2013, Big
Finish will be releasing Doctor Who: The Light at the End, a very special
100-minute story to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of Doctor Who. Tom Baker
(1974-81), Peter Davison (1982-84), Colin Baker (1984-86), Sylvester McCoy (1987-89)
and Paul McGann (1996) will all reprise their roles as, respectively, the
Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh and Eighth Doctors, whose paths suddenly
intersect when they face imminent destruction.
“We wanted to do a proper,
fully-fledged multi-Doctor story for this very special occasion,” says writer,
director and executive producer Nicholas Briggs, “and it’s wonderful that all
the surviving Doctors threw themselves behind the project so enthusiastically.
That’s not to say the first three Doctors don’t appear – we wanted to pay
homage to the whole history of the classic series.”
The Doctors will also be
joined by a number of their regular companions: Louise Jameson reprises the
role of the savage Leela, Sarah Sutton plays the scientist Nyssa, Nicola Bryant
is American botany student Peri, Sophie Aldred is streetwise kid Ace and India
Fisher returns as Edwardian adventurer Charley Pollard.
“And that’s not all,” says
producer David Richardson, “because Geoffrey Beevers is back to create mayhem
as the Master, and there will be a number of appearances from some
much-cherished old friends from the TV series…”
Doctor Who: The Light at
the End will be released in two different versions. A five-disc limited special
edition comes with two hour-long documentaries, plus The Revenants, a Companion
Chronicles tale which began life as a free Doctor Who Magazine download. It’s
performed by William Russell, who starred in the very first TV story as Ian
Chesterton. The special edition comes in beautiful special packaging, and will
include a number of exclusive professionally photographed images of the cast.
The standard edition
comprises two discs, featuring the two hour-long episodes of the story.
