Heroes of Sontar
(Alan Barnes)

 Big Finish Productions have announced that the Fifth
Doctor, Peter Davison, is to battle the Sontarans in
an exciting new Doctor Who audio adventure due in
2011!
The squat clone soldiers are to make their shocking comeback
for the first time in a Big Finish audio release. ‘Alan
Barnes has written a storming story for them",
Nicholas Briggs has revealed. ‘These
are definitely the Sontarans of old dressed in
their black armour, and from the same brood hatching
as Commander Linx’ (as seen in the
1973 Third
Doctor story "The
Time Warrior").
In over 140 monthly Doctor Who plays Big Finish
Productions have never featured
the Sontarans. Nicholas Briggs
has revealed that 'Alan Barnes
has written a storming story for
them, and Steven Moffat was kind
enough to give his blessing for
us to use them'.
'Of course, casting the Sontarans is going to be an
interesting challenge - they’re
a monster with a very specific
voice quality, and I’m very
keen we get actors who can capture
the stark military mindset'.
The Sontarans have featured in a number of television stories.
As well as "The Time Warrior" they
have also appeared in "The
Sontaran Experiment", "The
Invasion of Time", "The
Two Doctors" and "The
Sontaran Stratagem/The Poison Sky".
They have also appeared in The
Sarah Jane Adventures spin-off
series starring Elisabeth Sladen
as Sarah
Jane Smith.
"Heroes
of Sontar", written by
Alan Barnes, will be released in
April 2011. |
