A Ray of sunshine for the Seventh Doctor

The audio adventures of the Seventh Doctor (Sylvester McCoy) continue today with the brand-new box set Fixers, which finds him travelling across space and time with his latest companion Ray (Sara Griffiths). 

The Doctor first met Ray in the 1987 TV story Delta and the Bannermen, and reconnected with her in last year’s audio box set Past Forward. Now the young mechanic has signed up for life aboard the TARDIS, and she’s about to discover the many dangers that this entails. 

In the three thrilling episodes, the Doctor and Ray clear out a deceased Time Lord’s TARDIS, encounter mutated seals on the Norfolk coast, and get caught up in vicious rivalry at an intergalactic race. 

Doctor Who – The Seventh Doctor Adventures: Fixers is available to purchase now for just £19.99 (download to own) or £24.99 (download to own + collector’s edition 3-disc CD box set). Please note: the collector’s edition CD box set is strictly limited to 1,500 copies and will not be re-pressed.   

The three stories for the Seventh Doctor and Ray are: 

The Executor by Chris Chapman 

In a muddy field stands an old stone dovecot. Only it’s a TARDIS – with a recently deceased owner. The Doctor is named Executor of the Last Will and Testament of an old friend – Pegroninagall, ‘Peg’. 

He has a monumental task: clearing her TARDIS of keepsakes and mementos. But this Ship may also contain whatever killed Peg… 

Oil and Water by James McDermott 

Visiting the Norfolk coast, the Doctor and Ray discover something very wrong with Blakeney’s seals: they’re bloated, mutated, and killing people! 

With grieving boater Anne, they investigate the cause… Is there something in the water? What does it want with the sea life? And what are its plans for humanity? 

Much Ado About Racing by Fio Trethewey 

When the TARDIS arrives at the start of the Intergalactic Championship Rally, the Doctor and Ray are caught between two rival racers. And for Ray, long-buried feelings resurface. 

Something is at work here: something feeding on heartache and regret. And love among the race-crafts isn’t all that’s at stake… 

Sylvester McCoy said: “Sara and I first worked together in Delta and the Bannermen, which was great fun. I loved the concept of it, and the cast. We had some really amazing casts on Doctor Who, and we still do. While doing Big Finish, we’re getting wonderful casts and wonderful writers who do wonderful things. What a privilege to be in this universe of Doctor Who.” 

Sara Griffiths added: “Playing Ray in Delta and the Bannermen was really exciting, obviously, and was very early in my career. I’m so grateful that all the people who love Doctor Who so much have kept Ray alive. To be back with Sylvester is incredible. Every time there’s a new script to look at, Ray is there on the page, it’s just magical.” 

Praise for the previous Seventh Doctor Adventures box set, Wicked!: 

“Sylvester McCoy and Sophie Aldred succeed nimbly in playing the younger, brighter iterations of their characters.”
Doctor Who Magazine 

“Such a good idea that it’s a wonder that it’s not been done before.”
CultBox 

“Allows [Aldred] and McCoy to slip seamlessly into the characters as they played them on television…. All in all, it’s simply Wicked!”
