William Hartnell

Big Finish Productions have revealed that it will be releasing a further series of Lost Stories – audio versions of scripts that were intended, but never produced, for television.

The first release is a four-disc box set titled "The Hartnell Years", which will feature two unmade stories by Moris Farhi: "Farewell Great Macedon" (a six-part historical tale featuring Alexander the Great) and "The Fragile Yellow Arc of Fragrance" (a one-part science fiction story set on an alien world).

Moris Farhi’s original scripts have been adapted as an enhanced audiobook, which will be performed by William Russell and Carole Ann Ford, with a guest actor portraying Alexander the Great and is scheduled for release in November 2010.

Patrick Troughton

Next up is another four-disc box set The Troughton Years, the centerpiece of which will be "Prison in Space", performed by Frazer Hines and Wendy Padbury, with Susan Brown (Torchwood) guest starring as the villainous Chairman Babs. The adaptation is by Simon Guerrier, working from Dick Sharples’s original scripts that were written in 1968. It is scheduled for release in December 2010.

There will also be a very exciting bonus story in this box set as Big Finish productions have been granted the rights by the estate of Terry Nation to produce an audio version of the unmade US TV Dalek pilot, "The Destroyers". This adaptation will be a full cast drama, starring Nicholas Briggs as the voice of the Daleks.”

Then moving forward two decades, the remaining productions are drawn from what would have been Doctor Who’s twenty-seventh season that was due in 1990. This season would have introduced a brand new Doctor Who companion – the young, sophisticated safecracker Raine. Big Finish Productions plan to reveal titles, casting and the story details in the New Year.
