David Tennant and Catherine Tate are reuniting for a series of Big Finish Doctor Who audio adventures next month. Doctor Who Magazine got some time with the dynamic ‘DoctorDonna’ duo, and asked if the Big Finish scripts capture or reimagine the essence of their previous Who encounters.

“I think they do and they don’t,” Tennant claims. “Each episode on TV would go to a slightly different place, and have a slightly different set of criteria, and tell a story in a slightly different way. I think, in that sense, they’re very representative of the shows that we did on TV. Obviously the characters are the same, and they have that relationship that you will, I’m sure, recognise. But they’ve been put into some slightly different, new situations, with new types of stories.”

Catherine Tate added: “And a new way of telling the story, because this is audio. But obviously, by necessity, the convention of an episode is going to be the same, isn’t it: you arrive somewhere, something goes wrong, and then it’s all okay again. But I think these ones have been really original, and very fun to do.”
