Released today is a fresh collaboration between Big Finish and one of Doctor Who's most regarded producers...

Doctor Who - Philip Hinchcliffe Presents Volume 3: The Helm of Awe is out now. Written by Marc Platt with Philip Hinchcliffe, it stars Tom Baker and Louise Jameson as the Doctor and Leela in a new adventure evoking 1970s tea-time for an entire generation:

The TARDIS arrives on the remote Shetland isle of Bothness and the Doctor and Leela find themselves threatened by Vikings! Only all is not as it seems. The locals are celebrating the old Norse fire festival of Up Helly Aa, so there’s nothing to be worried about. Or is there?

For, unknown to the islanders, the TARDIS crew are on the trail of an ancient artefact invested with mysterious powers that has recently been stolen and brought to this remote location.

Somewhere on this island lurks something ancient, and evil, and alien. The Doctor and Leela will have to stop it. Only on this occasion time might not be on their side.

Doctor Who - Philip Hinchcliffe Presents Volume 3: The Helm of Awe is available from today on Download for £15 or on CD for £20. These pre-order prices will be frozen until the story's general release at the end of May when they become £20 and £25 respectively.

Two special-value bundles collecting The Helm of Awe together with the previous Doctor Who - Philip Hinchcliffe Presents release The Genesis Chamber are available, for £30 on Download and £40 on CD. Check out the entire range here.

Tom Baker and Louise Jameson return as the Doctor and Leela in January next year for series 7 of Doctor Who - The Fourth Doctor Adventures.
