When the BBC put Doctor Who up for competitive tender, it brought terrible news for Whovians who had been waiting for more information about the upcoming Doctor Who Christmas special. This year, there wouldn't be one, as both showrunner Russell T. Davies and production company Bad Wolf threw in the towel to make way for new creatives to lead the series into a different era.
However, there is always a silver lining. As it turns out, a Doctor Who Christmas special is on the way after all, and Christopher Eccleston will lead it.
Eccleston is best known for his time as the Ninth Doctor, when, alongside Billie Piper as his companion Rose Tyler, he battled Daleks, Slitheen, and even sentient gas masks during his short time as the Time Lord. After twenty years, Eccleston has returned to star in a special full-cast audio drama from Big Finish: The Ninth Doctor Adventures: The Wash.
Written by Robert Valentine, The Wash reunites two generations of Doctor Who: the Ninth Doctor and his granddaughter, Susan, with Carole Ann Ford returning to voice her in this new audio-only drama. Read the full summary of the adventure below.
When Rose and Jackie start early Christmas prep, the Doctor opts to do the laundry. The Wash Inn is a hub and haven for lonely souls, and who is more lonely than the last of the Time Lords?
But why has the memory of his granddaughter, Susan, begun to trouble him? What terrible force lurks in an innocent washing machine?
