Doctor Who: Ravenous 4 is now available to buy as a collector's edition box set or via download: https://bgfn.sh/1m

Paul McGann stars as the Eighth Doctor in Doctor Who: Ravenous 4, an epic box set of audio adventures which brings the Ravenous arc to a devastating conclusion, released today at www.bigfinish.com.

And four incarnations of the Master, the Doctor’s best enemy, join forces to defeat this terrible enemy... unless they have an ulterior motive of their own.

The Ravenous are the most relentlessly voracious creatures ever to haunt a Time Lord, and they now have the Doctor’s scent. The only thing left to do is stand and fight.

It will take a monster to defeat a monster. But what will be the cost? The past, the present, and the future conspire against the Doctor as he fights to defeat the only creature ever to strike fear into the hearts of a Time Lord – the Ravenous.

You can now buy Doctor Who: Ravenous 4 as a collector’s edition CD box set or download at the Big Finish website from £19.99.

The TARDIS team – the Doctor, Liv Chenka (played by Nicola Walker) and Helen Sinclair (played by Hattie Morahan) – are joined by Mark Bonnar as deranged murderous Time Lord, the Eleven, who retains the personalities of his previous regenerations. But against more than one Master, the Doctor will need all the help he can get.

Paul McGann said: “Mark's a very brilliant actor with incredible energy. I really like it because, for us, it just becomes a case of hitting the ball back. It's great because it's so unpredictable, you never know really what's going to happen next. He's the perfect foil and a great villain.”

This box set also features four special guest stars – Derek Jacobi, Michelle Gomez, Geoffrey Beevers and Eric Roberts – all reprising their TV roles of the Master/Missy.

Derek Jacobi said: “When I announced I was going to be playing the Master in Doctor Who, even close friends that I didn't realise were fans screamed with amazement and delight. I didn't realise the character was so iconic. I played the character in one episode on the telly with David Tennant, then I was morphed into John Simm. I've been waiting ever since to be morphed back.”

Nicola Walker, who also co-stars with Derek Jacobi in the popular BBC One drama series, Last Tango In Halifax, added: “There's a slight problem for me in that, when I see Derek, I just want to embrace him and snuggle into the crook of his arm. But I can't do that this time as he's the Master. I have to keep remembering to be very suspicious of him.”

The box set comprises three new stories:

Whisper by Matt Fitton

Seeking respite after their battle with the Ravenous and hoping to find a quiet place where the Eleven can recuperate, the TARDIS crew visit the Still Foundation. But all they find is a small band of survivors under siege from a terrifying predator. A predator that hunts by sound.

Planet of Dust by Matt Fitton

On the parched world of Parrak, the Master holds sway. But he is exhausted and desperate, and his final hope for survival lies somewhere beneath the desert. When the TARDIS arrives, alliances will be made and trust will be broken –and feuding Time Lords will discover the Ravenous never, ever give up.

Day of the Master (parts 1 and 2) by John Dorney The Doctor investigates a mystery in the vortex, Liv follows the trail of their enemy, and Helen searches for a god. Everywhere they go there is a Master or Mistress, but is the Doctor’s oldest enemy there to hinder him, or to help? With the TARDIS crew scattered and lost, only a miracle can save the universe. And for that to happen someone is going to have to die.
