The Light at the End (audio story)

The Light at the End was Big Finish's Doctor Who story to celebrate the show's fiftieth anniversary. It was notable for being the audio story with the most Doctors to date — all eight that the company has license for. The only other stories to feature all eight previously were EDA novel The Eight Doctors, DWM comic Happy Deathday and short stories The Glass Princess and Categorical Imperative.

Publisher's summary
November 23rd 1963 proves to be a significant day in the lives of all eight Doctors...

It's the day that Bob Dovie's life is ripped apart...

It's also a day that sets in motion a catastrophic chain of events which forces the first eight incarnations of the Doctor to fight for their very existence. As a mysterious, insidious chaos unfolds within the TARDIS, the barriers of time break apart...

From suburban England through war-torn alien landscapes and into a deadly, artificial dimension, all these Doctors and their companions must struggle against the power of an unfathomable, alien technology.

From the very beginning, it is clear that the Master is somehow involved.

By the end, for the Doctors, there may only be darkness.
