Silva Screen have released information of their upcoming release of the soundtrack of series 4. This follows their first two soundtrack releases covering the first three series.

Silva Screen will be releasing Murray Gold’s music for series four of Doctor Who in November. The music from the previous three series have proved to be bestellers and have appeared on the UK Albums chart. This much anticipated collection will include Song Of Freedom, the stirring choral piece that celebrated the defeat of the Daleks in the final episode of the series and proved to be a major hit at the recent Doctor Who Prom.

Big Finish have made the introductory story to their “UNIT” mini-series available to download for free. This adventure, entitled “The Coup”, previously only available as a freebie in Doctor Who Magazine, sees UNIT preparing to hand over its authority to a new organisation. But all is not well, as someone is attempting sabotage…

Big Finish have released the details for the first three Doctor Who adventures for 2009. Together they form a new three-part mini-series featuring an all new quest for the Key to Time. The Fifth Doctor is joined by a brand new companion called Amy, played by Ciara Janson, but she is a companion with a twist – this time the Doctor is the assistant.

The first episode in this mini-series is The Judgement of Isskar which will be released in January. The Doctor finds himself on a planet where Time stands still. There he meets a woman who is just a few minutes old. She is a Tracer, sent into our Universe by her makers to locate the six segments of the Key to Time. This being without a name wants the Doctor to be her assistant, but she doesn’t tell him the whole truth. Not at first. Their first port of call is Mars, where a society that one day will become Ice Warriors lives in peace and civility.

In February, the second installment, The Destroyer of Delights is set for release and stars David Troughton, son of second Doctor, Patrick Troughton. David will be playing The Black Guardian, a part previously played in the Classic TV series by the late Valentine Dyall. In this adventure, the Doctor and Amy find themselves at an impasse as the search for the Key to Time has stalled: the next segment does not appear to exist anywhere in the Universe. Forced into a temporary alliance with one of his greatest enemies, the Doctor suggests a course of action that is a validation of chaos itself.

The mini-series concludes in March with the release of The Chaos Pool which features the return of Lalla Ward to Doctor Who. The ageless leader of a dying race believes that salvation lies within The Chaos Pool, a place that even the Guardians of Time have been unable to locate.

In their search for the final segment of the Key to Time, the Doctor and Amy become caught in the crossfire. As the end of everything approaches, old friends and enemies reveal themselves and the final battle between the forces of Chaos and Order ignites…

Also available in the New Year will be The Prisoner’s Dilemma – a special edition of Doctor Who: The Companion Chronicles that is a cross-over adventure with the Key 2 Time series. This Seventh Doctor story features Sophie Aldred as Ace with Laura Doddington as Zara, who also stars in the Fifth Doctor’s Key 2 Time stories.
