Doctor Who: The Trouble With Drax

Big Finish NewsDoctor Who: The Fourth Doctor AdventuresUFO

Coming in June Doctor Who: The Trouble With Drax, the sixth story of The Fourth Doctor Adventures Series Five, sees the return of Gallifrey's most famous cockney! Drax originally appeared in the classic Fourth Doctor story The Armageddon Factor, portrayed by the late, great Barry Jackson. Now in his second incarnation, (Ray BrooksThe Knack... and How to Get It, Cathy Come Home, Mr Benn, Daleks – Invasion Earth 2150 AD) Drax is back to recruit the Doctor for a caper he can't refuse...

Altrazar. The temporal Atlantis, a place lost to time. Believed by many to be a myth, it has long been the perfect location for the rich and powerful to hide away their most dangerous secrets.

Until now.

Because the somewhat crooked, not exactly honest, wheeler-dealer cockney Time Lord known as Drax has found a map that leads to its location. And, at the behest of a manipulative businessman, he's going to use it.

When the TARDIS is dragged out of the space-time vortex, the TARDIS crew aren't best pleased to see the Doctor's old school friend, even less when he pressgangs them into joining a raid on the most secure safe-house in history. However with Romana and K9 held hostage, the Doctor has little choice but to agree. With Drax in tow, he heads for the planet.

Which is where the trouble starts.

Written by John Dorney, and starring Tom Baker, Lalla Ward, John Leeson, Ray Brooks, John Challis, Hugh Fraser, Jane Slavin, Miranda Raison and John Banks, Doctor Who - The Fourth Doctor Adventures: The Trouble With Drax is available to pre-order today from the Big Finish website.

Both Series Five and 2017's Series Six of The Fourth Doctor Adventures can be subscribed to today – including the recently-released opening story Doctor Who: Wave of Destruction.

And remember, when you buy any of these titles on CD directly from Big Finish, you will also unlock access to a digital copy for download from the day of release.
