Orbis (audio story)

 was the first story in the third series of the Eighth Doctor Adventures, produced by Big Finish Productions. It was written by Alan Barnes and Nicholas Briggs and featured Paul McGann as the Eighth Doctor and Sheridan Smith as Lucie Miller.

It resolved the cliffhanger at the end of the previous audio and jumped forward in the Doctor's lifetime by approximately 600 years.

Publisher's summary
The Doctor has fallen to his death. His companion, Lucie Miller, has returned to her life on Earth, grief-stricken. Then, one night, an alien visitor arrives at her front door and shoots her.

Could it be that Lucie's days with the Doctor are not over? She will only find the answer on the planet Orbis. A planet where all forms of life are facing violent extinction.
