As a dedicated fan who’s been following the Time Lord’s adventures since the days of Tom Baker and David Tennant, I can’t help but feel a twinge of nostalgia at the news that Ncuti Gatwa’s Doctor and Millie Gibson’s Ruby Sunday are reuniting for a pair of audiobooks this November. The thought of their dynamic duo traversing time and space once more, from 1958 England to present-day America, is nothing short of exhilarating.
Fans of “Doctor Who” are thrilled! Ncuti Gatwa, who plays the Fifteenth Doctor, and Millie Gibson as Ruby Sunday will be reuniting for two exciting new projects coming up this November. Gatwa first donned the Doctor’s role in Season 14 during the modern era of “Doctor Who”, with Gibson portraying his loyal companion. The latest installment of the iconic British sci-fi series received acclaim from critics but drew a mix of reactions from viewers. Despite some criticism, it has already been renewed for a 15th season, which is anticipated to air on BBC and Disney+ in 2025.
According to the official website of “Doctor Who,” Ncuti Gatwa’s portrayal of the Doctor and Chloe Leigh Neill’s character, Ruby Sunday, will come together for a pair of audiobooks to be released on November 7 by Penguin Random House. These fresh stories take their journey through time from 1958 England to contemporary America. Niel Bushnell and Darren Jones penned these new adventures separately. Although Gatwa and Gibson won’t be providing voices for their characters in the upcoming audio projects, it promises an exciting reunion as they work together before being joined by incoming companion Varada Sethu in the next season.
1958 finds the TARDIS materializing in County Durham, England, where Seaham Chemical Beach, formerly bustling with industrial activity, now stands deserted. Strangely, townspeople have been plagued by eerie dreams and ghostly visions.
The strange ambiance at the seashore quickly takes effect on both the Doctor and Ruby, causing them to gradually lose track of their identities. Meanwhile, a faint voice echoes in the distance, summoning Ruby.
Who are the owners of the recollections swirling around the travelers’ minds, and why does Ghost Beach, nestled within the Sea of Despair on planet Farfrom, hold such importance? Above all, who is Reg?
The Doctor and Ruby Battle Bigfoot
As a devoted cinephile, I’m eagerly anticipating the next installment: “Doctor Who: Sting of the Sasquatch.” This thrilling adventure unfolds in contemporary America, specifically the Pacific Northwest, where our beloved Doctor and companion Ruby encounter the legendary Bigfoot. Penned by the talented Jones, this is a groundbreaking moment as it’s the first time Bigfoot graces the franchise, with Genesis Lynea, who charmed us as Harriet Arbinger in Season 14, lending her voice to bring this captivating audio story to life.
In a park located in Northwest America, the Doctor and Ruby find themselves chased by massive, monkey-resembling beings that seemingly vanish among the woodlands. After Ruby becomes sick, seemingly bitten or stung, the Doctor suspects the illness is of extraterrestrial nature.
They encounter Dixie and Greg, a pair of dedicated Bigfoot enthusiasts, who are bent on locating the legendary Sasquatch. However, Ranger Poen stands as an obstacle, insisting that the woods pose too much risk for exploration. In just the past month, several individuals have either disappeared or resurfaced with no recollection of their whereabouts.
Later on, the primate-like beings capture Ruby, and the Doctor becomes resolute about not only rescuing her but also unraveling the enigma surrounding the Sasquatch.
The two new audiobooks add to the extensive collection of Doctor Who audio stories that have been published throughout the years. Although a visual reunion might not be what fans anticipated, these audio productions are consistently top-notch and will undoubtedly appease longtime enthusiasts who want to delve deeper into the current universe before its return to television in 2025.
