Dead Air (audio story)

Dead Air  is the seventh and final exclusive-to-audio adventure to feature the Tenth Doctor. It was performed by David Tennant and written by James Goss. Released by BBC Audio as a part of their ongoing line of original, single-actor plays, it is due to go on sale on 4th March 2010.

While all previous BBC Audio-exclusive Doctor Who stories have been two-disc sets with run times of about 2 1/2 hours, Dead Air is a shorter story with a run time of approximately 60 minutes on one CD.

Hello, I'm the Doctor. And, if you can hear this, then one of us is going to die.'

At the bottom of the sea, in the wreck of a floating radio station, a lost recording has been discovered. After careful restoration, it is played for the first time - to reveal something incredible. It is the voice of the Doctor, broadcasting from Radio Bravo in 1966. He has travelled to Earth in search of the Hush - a terrible weapon that kills, silences and devours anything that makes noise - and has tracked it to a boat crewed by a team of pirate DJs. With the help of feisty Liverpudlian Layla and some groovy pop music, he must trap the Hush and destroy it - before it can escape and destroy the world...

Behind the Scenes

 * The announcement of this release in early 2010 appears to have taken some by surprise, as BBC Audio, as well as Doctor Who Magazine had promoted the preceding audio, BBCR: The Last Voyage as being the final Tenth Doctor audio adventure.
