1.1 Fast Times by Robert Valentine
When the mysterious Division tries to arrest their equally mysterious agent, the Doctor, she evades capture and heads out in search of answers... but trouble is never far behind.

Captured by bounty hunters and imprisoned in a maximum-security hulk ship, the Doctor is about to learn that there's no time to stand still when you're a fugitive. And times are about to get very fast indeed.

1.2 The Legend of Baba Yaga by Rochana Patel
On the run from the Time Lords and in serious need of help, the Doctor heads for 17th-century Russia in search of the legendary witch of Slavic folklore... Baba Yaga.

But while trying to gain assistance from this powerful entity, the Doctor finds herself embroiled in events from the most famous of Baba Yaga’s tales when she tries to help a beautiful young woman called Vasilisa retrieve a burning ember to save her family from the bitter Russian winter.

What is real? What is fantasy? And will the Doctor be able to tell the difference in time?

1.3 The Dimension of Lost Things by Lisa McMullin
Fleeing Cosmo through the Vortex, the TARDIS gets sucked down a temporal plughole, and the Doctor emerges into a weird landscape. Finding other lost souls in the form of mountaineer George Mallory and scavenger Athelia, the Doctor soon stumbles across another, more surprising denizen of this strange dimension - herself!

With Cosmo still in pursuit and memory-stealing winds threatening to wipe her mind for good, the Doctor senses a complex trap in action. But whose trap is it, and how can she possibly escape?

Jo Martin said: "Doing these audios has been super fun! There wasn't enough time in the TV episodes to see all the different sides of the Fugitive Doctor. She's gung-ho, but there's a softer side to her. With these episodes, the listeners will hear her vulnerability, her kindness and her loyalties. She's a lone wolf, and that can't be easy.

"Going from the TV show to audio, it's a bit more pressure, because I haven't got Jodie there – it's all on me. On the first day, I could feel my heart fluttering. But I thought, 'Jo, you've been in this game a hundred years, kid' – I've acquired a few skills to get me through! "The stories are full on. There isn’t a second to catch your breath. There are intimate moments here and there, but basically it's just, go, go, go. It's what I want in an action show that features the Doctor. And the beautiful thing is, I get to deal with the Daleks!"

Co-star Alice Krige said: "Cosmogon starts off very, very tough and takes her job very, very seriously. And through the course of these stories, we reveal more about her. It was a lovely challenge and a lovely opportunity, and Jo's brilliant – she's totally engaging and wonderful to work with."

Producer David Richardson said: "This was an absolute treat to work on. The Fugitive Doctor is such a brilliant, head-turning twist in this amazing long-running show we all love, and script editor Robert Valentine and I had such fun making plans.

"Thirteenth Doctor showrunner, Chris Chibnall, very generously gave up his time and met with us on Zoom while we threw around ideas and he gave us some clarifications about this most enigmatic era of Doctor Who. We came out of that meeting elated, full of purpose and sure of our direction.

"Chris told us that Jo was fantastic and a gorgeous person to work with, and he was absolutely right of course - she came into the studio full of joy for the part, always smiling, always brilliant and charismatic. The Fugitive Doctor now has her own audio series - and as the saying goes, it's about time..."

Led by a breathtaking performance by Jo Martin, Doctor Who: Most Wanted begins a new era for the Whoniverse; an era of the Doctor’s life previously unexplored. With the mystery of the Fugitive Doctor’s missing memories looming over her, it’ll be interesting to see how Big Finish builds on the ideas laid out here.
