The Doctor Who Audio Dramas

The invasion is no longer a distant threat — it is here.

In Part Three of The Crucible of Terror, the Doctor faces an impossible dilemma as Earth stands on the brink of annihilation. A vast alien warship looms overhead, a merciless mercenary named Drax demands the surrender of the Crucible, and humanity’s leaders are paralysed by fear, mistrust, and jurisdictional conflict.

As UNIT and the U.S. military clash over authority, the truth about the Crucible is finally revealed — along with the terrifying cost of using it. With time running out, the Doctor must gamble everything on an untested plan, while Kevin Vasavious is forced into a role he never wanted, and Kathy confronts the horrors of her past.

The Doctor, Kathy, and Kevin find themselves drawn deeper into a mystery that stretches far beyond a crashed escape pod. Strange visitors appear and vanish without explanation, the military grows increasingly uneasy, and an unknown alien lies unconscious with secrets that could decide the fate of everyone involved.

As tensions rise and a powerful new threat reveals itself, the Doctor must uncover the truth behind the so-called “Crucible” before events spiral out of control.

This is Part Two of The Crucible of Terror, a full-cast Doctor Who Audio Drama featuring suspense, humour, and classic extraterrestrial intrigue—told in the spirit of traditional adventures while carving its own path.

It’s been a while since Freja was home, and after all the wonders and horrors she has seen so far in her travels, all the beautiful worlds and terrifying battles, she finds herself conflicted when the TARDIS brings her back to Denmark. Except this isn’t her home. 

The Doctor and Freja are in the 10th century and find themselves caught up in a power struggle with Denmark’s ruler, Gorm the Old. With a foreign princess seeking sanctuary and the threat of rebellion growing, the travellers soon realise they can’t be sure who they can trust.

And the Doctor thinks there’s a much bigger problem. Why are there Ice Warriors here? What do they want? He’s ready to stop their nefarious scheme, but how far will he go to save the day? Because if he makes the wrong call, it will be the end of his and Freja’s travels.

A mysterious crash in the Nevada desert. An unconscious alien whispering warnings. A mercenary warlord demanding a device that could save—or doom—the Earth.

When the Doctor, Kathy, and Kevin trace a wormhole to 1982, they find themselves caught between a terrified refugee and an approaching invasion force capable of wiping out the planet. As the U.S. military scrambles to respond, monsters phase into reality, a massive warship darkens the sky, and an old enemy returns with a deadly ultimatum.

What is the Crucible? Why does everyone want it? And how far will the Doctor go to protect a world that doesn’t even trust him?

“The Crucible of Terror” is a sweeping, high-tension Doctor Who Audio Dramas adventure filled with alien intrigue, military stand-offs, time-twisting technology, and a personal reckoning from Kathy’s past.

A universe-spanning threat. A desperate chase. And one impossible choice that could change everything.

The Human Expeditionary Force’s outpost has been breached, and the Fer-Kyste don’t intend to take any prisoners. 

Caught in the middle of this fight for survival is Freja, terrified and barely holding on. She has already seen so much death, but more is to come as this battle comes to its murderous conclusion. But what can she possibly do against the might of the Youngling? Will she also fall, so very far from home?

There is one last throw of the dice to be made, but the Doctor is struggling. Every movement hurts, every second a trial, but he must rally against an inevitability because the stakes are so high: the biosun is dying and countless lives are at risk. Time is running out to save the day, but with the Doctor's very future on the line, what hope is left?
