Two of Big Finish’s most popular and acclaimed Doctor Who titles are returning… Is this a record?

In October 2016 and April 2017, Big Finish release the second and third ever versions of their titles to appear on vinyl LPs. The first release – 2013’s gorgeous vinyl limited edition release of Doctor Who – The Light at the End – is long since deleted and hard to come by, and with limited runs of 500 copies on the new titles these will again be much sought after by collectors of this beautiful format.

Doctor Who – The Chimes of Midnight is the macabre Rob Shearman story that Big Finish listeners revisit again and again for a regular yuletide experience. After all, Christmas wouldn’t be Christmas without the Eighth Doctor (Paul McGann) and Charley (India Fisher) encountering inexplicable seasonal murders in a large house, would it?

Today we’re delighted to make a short clip available to listeners from the new Chimes of Midnight documentary, with writer Rob Shearman setting the scene for the early days of Big Finish, and what informed the creation of this classic:

Doctor Who – Spare Parts, coming on vinyl in April 2017,  has long been praised for its mature, chilling portrayal of a society in decay, of a people on the verge of extinction, until they determine a solution that will have horrific consequences for the universe. Can Nyssa (Sarah Sutton) and the Doctor (Peter Davison) prevent the creation of the Cybermen (Nicholas Briggs)?

Both Doctor Who – The Chimes of Midnight, and Doctor Who – Spare Parts are sumptuous four-disc sets pressed in heavy vinyl, each accompanied by brand new 2016 documentaries looking back on the stories. The gatefold sleeve contains brand new artwork commissioned from artist Tom Webster, and would look perfect in a collection, or being autographed at a convention. The releases are exclusive to the Big Finish site, priced at £79.00 each plus postage and packaging which includes global courier delivery.
