The Twelfth Doctor, as portrayed on screen by Peter Capaldi, will return for a brand-new series of audio adventures beginning in 2026, now voiced by impressionist Jon Culshaw. These thrilling tales will fill in a gap in this Doctor’s timeline... 

Set between the Christmas specials, The Husbands of River Song and The Return of Doctor Mysterio, The Twelfth Doctor Adventures: Run Fast, Be Kind finds the Time Lord dealing with life as a widower, following his final adventure with River Song. But he’s not alone for long, as he picks up a new companion – Ash Wilton, a travelling bard from the end of the universe, voiced by Gwithian Evans. 

The Doctor and Ash’s adventures are produced by the creative team behind the fan-favourite, award-winning Eleventh Doctor Chronicles series, with Alfie Shaw as the producer and lead writer. 

The six episodes will be released as weekly downloads, beginning in July 2026. Once all the episodes have been released, the series will also become available as a complete downloadable box set.   

The complete Doctor Who – The Twelfth Doctor Adventures: Run Fast, Be Kind is now available to pre-order as a bundle for just £43.99 exclusively here. Customers who pre-order will gain access to the weekly episodic downloads, as well as the box set as a single download to own. 

For a limited time, episode one is also available separately at the discounted early-bird price of just £5.99, exclusively here.  

The six exciting new audio dramas in Run Fast, Be Kind are titled and written by:  

The Second Death by Alfie Shaw 
The Broken Man by Rochana Patel 
The Beautiful and the Damned by Katherine White 
Wings of Steel by Alfie Shaw (based on a story by Alex Hewitt) 
Duty of Care by Christian Markham 
The Second Death of the Daleks by Alfie Shaw 

Producer Alfie Shaw said: “I love the freedom I had on The Eleventh Doctor Chronicles and now with The Twelfth Doctor Adventures. 

“The Doctor and the TARDIS have to make it to the end, but everything else can be new. New companion, a sprinkling of existing monsters, no returning allies. If you’re looking for somewhere to start with the Twelfth Doctor at Big Finish, this is the perfect place to jump on.  

On the Doctor’s new friend, Shaw added: “Our companion is Ashlorn ‘Ash’ Wilton, a wandering bard from a dying world at the end of the universe. Think the setting of Utopia and you’re roughly in the right period. I love creating a genre-based companion and I’ve been wanting to do something inspired by the Fallout franchise for ages.  

“Getting to do such a different companion is what drew me back to making another series. I wanted to try an all-male TARDIS team to see what kind of dynamic that would create. Gwithian absolutely nails the role, and the rapport that he and Jon had from the off was amazing to watch in the studio.”
