(
16/11/2008)
Following on from November’s
Forty-Five, the Seventh Doctor, Ace and Hex return to the
Doctor Who range in the spring of 2009, in a season of three new adventures.
April’s
The Magic Mousetrap, by
Year of the Pig author Matthew Sweet, sees the Doctor end up at a Swiss sanatorium in the year 1926, where director Ludovic ‘Ludo’ Comfort uses parlour games to keep his rich and famous patients busy. The Doctor soon suspects, however, that someone’s playing a more sinister game. Someone with a score to settle…
Skaro’s deadliest are back in May.
Enemy of the Daleks, an all-action space adventure by
Judge Dredd/Sarah Jane Smith writer David Bishop, has the TARDIS travellers fall in with starship troopers struggling to defend a remote research facility from an all-out Dalek attack. But this time, could it be the Daleks need saving…?
Finally, in June, the TARDIS arrives at the scene of one of history’s greatest military disasters – the Crimean War – in an as-yet-untitled epic by Paul Sutton, author of adventures including
Exotron and
No More Lies. Separated from his friends in time and space, Hex has to deal with the horrors of life in a Crimean field hospital – as an assistant to Florence Nightingale!
As ever, the Doctor is played by Sylvester McCoy, Ace by Sophie Aldred and Hex by Philip Olivier.
