COMING SOON in DOCTOR WHO AUDIO ADVENTURES SERIES 3
The Ice Warriors seek revenge in "Colony 9" out in November, and a new army of Cybermen is on the march in "Only Human" out in October.
This was always the plan from the word go when coming up with story concepts for each episode of this series, what were we going to do, which monsters would we like to bring into the series if we were going to, and the obvious one which came to mind that I wanted to do but hadn't done yet was an Ice Warrior story. I've always loved their look and they're reptilian qualities which make them quite sinister and they're hostile actions make them very ruthless. I thought of just a contemporary setting like a space station with a small crew and there's stuff going wrong at the base and to add to the trouble, there's a forgotten group of ice warriors buried underground underneath the ice. There's your scenario, off we go, let's make a story out of that. It's simple and it works.
With the Cybermen, I wanted to bring them back in a new way which hadn't been tried before. And I happened to be watching a documentary on television about body builders and how they train and I thought that that spoke volumes and thought well, what if there's a drug that makes people all muscley and super strong and super smart and also inter twine with the whole Cybermen upgrade origin. That's what made me have to come up with the mad scientist character, who on paper believes he's doing good and helping the development of human evolution, but in actual fact what he's really doing is starting up the cybermen all over again, and with the power of this new drug making them more strong and more smart and more intellectual. So how will the Doctor be able to defeat these new cybermen?
Colony 9 and Only Human will be out later this year in Doctor Who Audio Adventures - Series 3!
