Doctor Who: Puffin Classics
"Brought to you by Puffin. The second audio collection in the Doctor Who: Puffin Classics series featuring four adventures. Alien pirates, and sea-faring friends abound in this incredible Treasure Island and Doctor Who crossover. 'Who was that?' asked Clara. 'And what are pieces of eight?' The Doctor smiled. 'Robert Louis Stevenson. I did tell you.' Summoned to 1700s Plymouth, the Doctor and Clara must investigate a mysterious thievery from the Crown of King George. Their travels take them to a remote island - but as the secrets of the theft are unearthed, the Doctor discovers something far more sinister. The spectre of a terrible intellect is afoot. Thankfully, the Doctor and Clara won't be alone. A pirate called Long John Silver, a runaway called Janey Hawkins, and professor called River Song, are all along for the ride. Embark on a strange and enchanting adventure with old friends and familiar foes in this glorious crossover of Doctor Who and Alice in Wonderland. The Doctor and his companions visit the dreaming spires of peaceful Oxford, hoping for a brief respite from their travels. But when Lewis Carroll appears at a garden party and their fellow guests transform into animals, they realise that everything is not as it seems . . . An unknown cosmic foe has trapped them in a twisted version of Alice’s Wonderland. Separated from the Tardis and from each other, their only hope of escape lies in cryptic clues teased by fan-favourite characters from Carroll’s classic tale. He tidied his hair, smoothed down his vest, and extended a hand. ‘Perhaps we can begin anew,’ he said. ‘Dr V. Frankenstein, at your service.’ When an unsettling folk tale leads the Ninth Doctor and Rose to a remote village in Wales, they get more than they bargained for. A scientist has taken it upon himself to create new life – imitating Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, a book that has sent shock waves around the country. But, much like his fictional counterpart, this doctor is playing god, and with forces beyond his understanding. As the Doctor and Rose attempt to put the brakes on the experiment before it gets out of control, a sinister supernatural presence reveals itself . . . A vampire is on the loose! On what they hope is going to be a holiday, the Doctor and his companions arrive in a quiet, unassuming seaside town called Whitby. The terrible significance of the place evades them, until they happen upon a theatre production that captivates their attention . . . Dracula! Suddenly, murders are occurring left, right and centre, each victim with trademark puncture wounds on their neck. Ian is soon missing, and a town shrouded in myth and legend is beginning to live up to its name. Clearly there is a Dracula at large. But the TARDIS team quickly realise: you can never trust a vampire . . .

Doctor Who: Decades Collection 1990s, 2000s, and 2010s
"Brought to you by Puffin. A brand new audio bundle of three Doctor Who stories to celebrate the 60th anniversary. 1990s - Wannabes by Dave Rudden It's Dublin in 1994, and the Doctor and Donna have arraived at the tiny nightclub known as Headlong. Headlong is famous for precisely one thing - holding the karaoke night where four young women came together to make the biggest girl band of the 90s: the Honeybloods. Donna has convinced the Doctor to visit their first ever concert (she reckons she could have been one of them if the timelines were different) - and he has begrudgingly agreed. Naturally the band is kidnapped by a deadly pack of siren-like creatures who adapt to and feed off human adulation, usually harvested by taking the form of cultural icons. With Dublin and the world to save, Donna may get her chance to perform on the world's biggest stage . . . 2000s - The Monster in the Cupboard by Kalynn Bayron When the Doctor and Rose stumble across thirteen-year-old Lily, they both agree she needs their help. Lily thinks there are monsters in the closet, hiding under the bed. And that they've taken her mother and brother - who went missing months ago. When asked about the monster, Lily can only say it's made of immense light and power. Rose and the Doctor must find out who and what the creature is, and where it's taken Lily's family. It is a search that will take them right back to the childhood of Lily's grandmother, and another disappearance all those years ago . . . 2010s - The Angel of Redemption by Nikita Gill A poem of tragedy and beauty . . . The Weeping Angels are an ancient race of terrible power. With the ability to propel their victims backwards in time, their true form is a mystery - they turn to stone on sight. So they wander the universe, cursed never to see one another. But they see everything else: the whole course of time and space - even the journey of their deadliest enemy, the Doctor. In this extraordinary, epic poem, the Weeping Angels sing the story of the years they've battled the Doctor, and everything in between, as - like a Greek Chorus - they tell the world with their tragic tale.
