Doctor Who: Christmas: Out of the Dark and Other Stories

Saturnalia. The Winter Solstice. The Crystal Feast. As long as humanity endures, it celebrates, fighting the coldest nights with hope and laughter and light.

But not the monsters. In the bleakest midwinters, they carve their own path out of the dark. Over and over again.

Can three doctors, three companions, and two time-travelling archaeologists stand in their way?

1. Merry Christmas, Mr Chimbly by John Dorney - a Fifth Doctor, Tegan and Nyssa adventure
If the Daleks are the Doctor's best enemies, the piggish Porcians are his very worst. Greedy, vindictive, and utterly ineffective.

But incompetence can be deadly. With the universe on the line, can the Doctor, Nyssa and Tegan save Mr Chimbly from himself?

2. From the Realms of Glory by Hannah Kennedy - a River Song adventure
Stranded in an abandoned Highland town, River Song faces creatures beyond her understanding.

But what tidings do the Angels of Light bring? And can a lonely orphan girl face her demons in time to save the Earth?

3. Out of the Dark by Jonathan S Powell - a Seventh Doctor and Ace adventure
While battling a Cyber-Soviet alliance in Moscow, 1991, the Seventh Doctor and Ace stumble upon an even greater threat - a glowing, sentient weapon, running wild through history.

Launched on a time hopping quest, the Doctor and Ace must stop the weapon and save Christmas before time unravels in its wake. And before the Cybermen catch up...

4. And Tiny Tim, Who Did Not Die by James Goss - an Eleventh Doctor and Bernice Summerfield adventure
Legend says the planet Snowfall is where the Eleventh Doctor finally died, defeating an endless army.

Generations later, Bernice Summerfield arrives to prove it.

Benny's intern Tim is less excited. Because, just between you and me, he's the Eleventh Doctor. And he's not looking forward to dying.
