Afterlife was the one hundred and eighty-first story in Big Finish's monthly range. It was written by Matt Fitton and featured Sylvester McCoy as the Seventh Doctor, Sophie Aldred as Ace, Amy Pemberton as Sally Morgan and Philip Olivier as Hector Thomas.

It dealt with the aftermath of companion Hex's death at the end of the audio story Gods and Monsters.

Publisher's summary[]

Hex is dead. And a distraught Ace holds the Doctor responsible.

She forces him to take a trip to 21st century Liverpool to break the news to Hex's beloved nan and, to pay tribute to Thomas Hector Schofield, the pair seek out his family and friends to tell them of his adventures. They're helped by Private Sally Morgan, who has her own peace to find.

The Doctor, Ace and Sally must each face the fallout of the loss of their friend — to commemorate him, remember him, and finally to move on. But can they do it together, or will their attempts drive them apart?
