Bless my soul! It isn’t a secret but the Weeping Angels remain my favorite monster of both the new and classic series of Doctor Who. Imagine then, how excited I am that these creatures will finally get to menace one of the classic Doctors in the upcoming box set, Doctor Who: Classic Doctors, New Monsters. Big Finish has finally released more details about the cast and the title of the story.
Entitled Fallen Angels, the audio finds the Fifth Doctor (Peter Davison) facing off with the Angels. Producer David Richardson had this to say:
“The Weeping Angels have been voted one of the best Doctor Who monsters ever, and it’s easy to see why. They are utterly terrifying – and it’s so thrilling to be able to explore an Angels story with an earlier Doctor.”
And the audio’s director, Barnaby Edwards thinks the story is in the vein of Blink:
“Phil’s ingenious script achieves the impossible and makes a famously visual monster work brilliantly on audio,’ says director Barnaby Edwards. ‘If you liked ‘Blink’, I think you’ll like this – it’s very much a chip off the old block!”
Joining Peter Davison in the audio are Sacha Dhawan, Diane Morgan, Matthew Kelly, Joe Jameson, Dan Starkey (yes, Strax but not playing Strax). The release date is stil TBA but keep an eye out here as we’ll provide more details as they become available. The box set is available for preorder now.
