The Doctor and Klein Face an Old Enemy!

March 2010 sees the release of
The Architects of History, part of Big Finish’s ongoing range of monthly
Doctor Who audio dramas. This new four-part story is the dramatic finale of a trilogy of adventures in which the Seventh Doctor once again meets Elizabeth Klein, who he previously encountered in 2001’s
Colditz, written by Steve Lyons. Reunited with the character that he created, Steve eagerly took the opportunity to write
The Architects of History and bring Klein’s story to an exciting conclusion.
As well as Klein, we can now reveal that Steve has also employed some of his other creations from the past. For the first time on audio, the Doctor will come face-to-face with his old enemies, the Selachians – a race of aquatic aliens that the Second Doctor previously met in Steve’s
Doctor Who novels
The Murder Game and
The Final Sanction. "I'm thrilled to be back writing the Selachians ten years on, and to be pitting them against a new Doctor in a new medium,” says Steve. “ I originally created them for a Second Doctor base-under-siege story, and so designed them to be very typical old-school
Doctor Who monsters. Their hobbies are stomping around, firing guns and shouting. Hopefully, though, they still have a few surprises up their sleeves!"
The Architects of History is released in March 2010 and is available to pre-order now.
