The next Doctor Who audio adventure will take fans back to when the show returned to television in 2005. Christopher Eccleston and Billie Piper, who led the revival as the Ninth Doctor and companion Rose Tyler, respectively, are back to voice the characters. The Doctor Who: The Ninth Doctor Adventures audio drama from Big Finish Productions will begin in August 2025.

Eccleston and Piper introduced a new generation to Doctor Who (the series originally ran from 1963 to 1989), and the series has run ever since. Now, 20 years later, they are returning to the characters for a series of 12 hour-long adventures.

The new audio adventure will fit into that 2005 series, and will also feature Rose’s mom, Jackie Tyler. It will showcase new and old friends, as well as enemies, and more of Powell Estates.

“I am so happy to be back recording more adventures for the Ninth Doctor with Billie,” Eccleston said. “I don’t think my Doctor exists without Rose. He’s a ‘one man, one companion’ kind of alien. We’ve explored him on his own at Big Finish, as a loner. But there’s a resilience and a bravery and a deep empathy to Billie as Rose, that’s why I do this. They complete each other.”

“I can’t think of a better time for Rose to reunite with her first Doctor than now,” Piper said. “Twenty years after she first ran into the TARDIS and towards adventure, here we are again, me and Chris, ready to have fun facing the universe – and the monsters – together.”

“Twenty years after the Ninth Doctor and Rose burst onto our screens, Christopher Eccleston and Billie Piper are back with that brilliant dynamic – the Doctor showing Rose the universe, and Rose showing him the best of humanity,” producer Matt Fitton said.
