Christopher Ecclestone and Billie Piper are back as the ninth Doctor and Rose Tyler.
The year is 2036 and the place is the Powell Estate the place Rose and her mother Jackie call home. The estate is now derelict and haunted by an entity called Mister Fingers whose touch is a harbinger of death.
When the Doctor and Rose interrupt a vlogger whose current project is the haunted estafette they soon find out that interdimensional creatures roam and of course they are all caughtbin his net. The Doctor and Rose are going to need assistence from 30 years in the past to survive. Enter Jackie and her neighbor Brainy Betty who eiland have to assist her daughter and friend from GALLIFREY.
Another excellent audio adventure from Big Finish whose stories send me back to the glorious return of the Doctor in the early 21st century. Ecclestone might have had good reasons to leave the show after a mere one season but it remains a bloody shame as the interaction between him and Billie Piper proves.
It was a very good episode which brought all the fun back from those early days from the New Doctor series.
So one can only hope that the future series will keep up the fun and quality they started with.

I honestly cannot describe how much I loved this story. It really threw me back to 2005 when I was just getting into Doctor Who (thanks to the 9th Doctor and Rose) because it just felt like that first series of Modern Who.
There were a couple standout bits in this story for me, and first of them was the speech by the Doctor about the Time War, and how it haunts him, but he'd still do the same regardless. That was such a beautiful speech, and you could really feel the emotions and the frantic aspect really highlighted it for me, and Christopher Eccleston did a fantastic job with that.
Second of them was the interactions between Jackie and Betty. I really liked them together, and I think that Jackie is better when she has somebody to bounce off in conversation. Even back in 2005, I wasn't a fan of Jackie, and I found it frustrating that they kept going back to London and the Powell Estate (this being the second in the series so far and the second set in the Powell Estate makes me feel like the whole run is going to be set there which puts me off a little) but, having said that, I do think that these audios have used Jackie in a much better way than the 2005 series did. She feels like part of the plot and integral apart from Rose, rather than tying Rose down to a certain era and location, and I think Jackie having friends and them actually being shown - in the case of Betty in this story - really aids that feeling.
The third thing that I really liked was the ending. I loved the teasing between Rose and the Doctor and how they actually feel like friends, especially as there has been an edge of mistrust between them in both this audio and the first story. I just thought it was a really cute ending.
If all of the stories in this run are going to be like this story and the previous one, it's going to be a fantastic run.

As much as I make fun of Star Wars fans for falling victim to nostalgia bait, whenever Big Finish puts out another RTD era series, I'm practically foaming at the mouth. Proud hypocrite, right here! GIVE ME MORE! :D
I wasn't too into the narrative at first, but the latter half truly saves it for me. Eccleston's presence as the Doctor is magnetic as ever, even twenty years after he graced our screens. He perfectly portrays the grief of a post-Time War Doctor, and his chemistry with Rose (played by Billie Piper, the love of my life) is still one of the best Doctor/companion dynamics out there.
However, as always in these audio stories, Jackie Tyler/Camille Coduri is the standout. My queen. My everything! I kiss the ground she walks on. Will not elaborate further.

A creepy little tale that’s reminiscent of RTD’s best horror episodes. Rose’s mom remains the best Doc Who waifu.

A tale of two timelines. This one feels very different and unusual, without actually being either. At its core, this is a very typical Doctor Who story, but when you don’t dig too deep it feels very unique.

Самый разьебный монолог Доктора за последние годы улетел в аудиопьесу. И снова к Девятому!
Вообще все три пьесы из нового сезона с Роуз, как по мне, на пять голов выше, чем обычно в Big Finish. Явно стараются, диалоги — ❤️

Big Finish brings its best in this spooky audio drama starring the Ninth Doctor and Rose Tyler, just in time for the Halloween season! Christopher Eccleston and Billie Piper are absolutely fantastic in this creepy story that drops Rose and the Doctor in the near future of the Powell Estate - and suddenly the future doesn't look too pretty.
I absolutely *loved* this story! Timothy X Atack brings their absolute A-Game, creating a nerve-wracking atmosphere both in the future with Rose and the Doctor and in 2006 with Jackie and her friend, Betty. All of the actors were also on-point. Camille Coduri was voice-perfect with Jackie - a mum worried about her daughter's dangerous lifestyle (something she doesn't hesitate to throw in the Doctor's direction), but also a woman who seems to have a measure of attraction to the excitement that life with the Doctor brings, even if she'd rather die than admit it. Mandi Symonds as Brainy Betty was also fantastic! There is a lot going on with her and I really hope we see more of her. She sure knows a lot about time and time travel and although she explains that (she's reading and taking a lot in so that she can tell her dead partner when she joins her in Heaven), I can't help but wonder if there's more to her than meets the eye.
Billie Piper and Christopher Eccleston were at the heart of the story, though. Again, like the previous story, Doctor Who: Snare , this story is set in the aftermath of the episode Father's Day and both characters are clearly still bruised by the experience. Rose feels like the Doctor doesn't trust her, despite her not only acknowledging the mistakes she made in 1987 and her efforts to improve her knowledge of time travel (apparently there's a book about the common mistakes made by time travelers in the TARDIS and OMG how is this not required reading for any and ALL Companion?!) so she doesn't repeat said mistakes (newsflash: she kind of does make a similar mistake but this time it turns out to be for the best because that's what helps save the day in the end).
The Doctor... oh, Christopher Eccleston tore at my heart. Still very, very burdened by his actions during the Time War, even though he admits that Rose's presence does help him, and he's also so very guilty because he knows that, even if he had the chance to do things differently, he'd do exactly the same thing. And it just shatters the heart. Absolutely brilliant performance on Eccleston's part.
Also, the description of the baddie as creature from the edges of the universe really got me thinking about the No-Things from the 60th Anniversary Special episode Wild Blue Yonder. I wonder if there's meant to be a connection of some kind there?
So glad I shelled out the money for this entire series. I am getting to drown in the continuing adventures of Nine and Rose for the next several months!

The second story in the Rose & 9th Doctor Big Finish adventures really is an amazing listen. The story builds upon what was done in the prior instalment and improves many aspects, even if the story does lack the presence or any actual villain. The horror setting is a real strength of this Tardis team and it is explored well in this time travel adventure. The idea of being on the Powell Estate when it’s a wreck in the future is the perfect setting for a horror story, and the actual building makes for an excellent plot device. This story addresses my main criticism of Snare, by doing the simplest thing really; having Eccleston in it more. He really leads from the front in this one, and with some very authentic feeling noughties sound design and music, really takes you on an exciting nostalgia trip. Jackie and Brainy Betty make for fun side characters, and the humour there is yet another thing to make this story feel like real RTD Doctor Who. The vlogger guy is only really there to be killed by the villain as a demonstration of the killer’s powers, so I’m glad Timothy X Atack doesn’t waste a quarter of the runtime overdeveloping a bit of cannon fodder.
The humour does offset the horror effectively, and obviously by providing a contrast only illuminates the horror aspect even more. The monster being silent is an interesting choice, and of course there was some fantastic imagery there, but given we know which characters are going to die and ones who won’t; there isn’t much suspense to be had there. The main thing the villain does is push the characters into the really dramatic points of the plot, and that’s when there’s a ton of running, fighting, and dramatic acting. This includes a scene that made it a struggle for me not to rate this story five stars. Of course the acting is solid and believable throughout, but there is one scene in the climax that really makes you well up. Eccleston gives a performance that can make you feel every emotion at once, and it is amazing that after all this time he is still able to act to a degree so high and intense; that he can pull off a resolution that is beyond criticism just from the strength of the acting during. That scene alone makes the story a worthwhile listen, and all the other aspects of the story are just a bonus.
Rose actually feels like a companion in this one, and I really love that they have her make a mistake that makes everything worse; as the whole idea of making her invulnerable because of her sanctimony in the last one was what really annoyed me about her. In this story she is a strong proactive character without having to be preachy and stopping to make transparent social observations. This allowed her to work well against her Doctor, and having protagonists lead from the front felt authentically 2005. My biggest criticism of the story would be the villain, but it does seem plausible we are looking at a story arc around the Powell Estate so if this was the exposition story in that, fair enough. The story is still packed with rich dialogue, imagery, comedy, that some slight failing in having a villain without a single line of dialogue doesn’t seem so bad at all.

What does the future hold for the Powell Estate? This seemingly ordinary block of flats has seen its fair share of twists and turns, but perhaps none more terrifying than the answer to this question.
Written by Timothy X Attack, The Last Days of the Powell Estate is the second part of the Powell Estate trilogy. Landing in 2036, The Doctor and Rose find themselves facing the abandoned remains of the once lively Powell Estate, only to have unknowingly been caught in a web created by a multi-dimensional being known as Mr Fingers.
Attack’s third contribution to the Ninth Doctor Adventures is a spectacularly spooky affair. At home with writing horror, he’s created a near-perfect futuristic ghost story set within the crumbling ruins of Rose’s childhood home.
Every good scary story must have a truly creepy villain, and Mr Fingers fits this description in every respect. Formless, shapeless, and out for blood, this creature is a truly terrifying addition to the Whoniverse. Catching prey within its labyrinthine web, it marks those who turn around in response to its ghostly grip for death. This modus operandi makes for some tense listening, as every character, at one point or another, is affected by this creature’s ghastly grip.
However, there’s more to this adventure than just a good scary story. Despite the tight chronology of The Doctor and Rose’s time together, Attack skilfully navigates this limitation, offering powerful character development for both of them. For Rose, seeing what becomes of her childhood home naturally brings up feelings of sadness and anxiety. As a result, it once again sees her break one of The Doctor’s many rules about time travelling when she decides to check in on her mum. Unlike her previous experience with the Reapers and the death of her father, however, her decision ends up being a good thing, ultimately offering the solution to the ‘Mr Fingers’ problem. For The Doctor, this episode forces him to face his fears by opening old wounds. In an impassioned speech towards a sense of closure, he admits his past failures and the reasons why he can never look back.
Creepy and completely compelling, this story has it all, from moments of character development to a new terrifying villain for the Whoniverse. The Last Days of the Powell Estate is a great addition to the Powell trilogy and the wider Ninth Doctor Adventures series.

The Last Days Of The Powell Estate: The second of this year's Christopher Eccleston audio dramas is a decidedly spooky affair. It concerns a multidimensional serial killer who travels between timelines called Mr Fingers (Dan Starkey). For me, Mr Fingers has to be one of the creepiest antagonists to debut in a Big Finish audio drama. The description of how he coldly touches his victims on the shoulder, and if they turn around they are killed by him, is enough to send shivers down your spine. The Last Days Of The Powell Estate does a fantastic job at making Mr Fingers' presence literally felt throughout the runtime of the audio, creating a real sense of foreboding as he stalks the Doctor and his friends.
The Doctor and Rose's (Billie Piper) partnership in this audio feels straight out of 2005. Writer Timothy x Attack superbly captures their playful rapport, teasing each other on a rulebook concerning things not to do whilst travelling through time, and on how the Doctor's greatest fear is actually Jackie Tyler (Camille Coduri). Christopher Eccleston and Billie Piper voice this Doctor and companion duo like no time has passed at all.
The urban explorer, Ellis Coates (Harki Bhambra), is a great addition to the central cast, too. As an online vlogger who explores abandoned places, he feels very much like the kind of person you may encounter today on YouTube, despite being set in the near future of 2036. He also has the same reckless lust for adventure as the Doctor, whilst looking to Rose for comfort in his scariest moments. Ellis builds a strong rapport with the Doctor and Rose, and I'd like to see him return in a future Ninth Doctor and Rose audio.

So here we are back at the Powell Estate for another adventure. I was beyond excited when they announced this audio, a creepy 9th Doctor adventure in time for the spooky season? Hell yeah!
An urban explorer is exploring the abandoned Powell Estate, where disturbing deaths occurred. The Doctor and Rose, unaware of their surroundings at first, are horrified to discover they are back at Rose's home, but thirty years in the future. Something is affecting time and space and it goes back to the year 2006, Jackie Tyler is in danger and it's up to 5 people between different time periods at the same location to stop a malevolent entity known as Mr. Fingers who intends to kill every living specimen it can get its hands on.
Timothy X. Atack has proven once again why he's the best 9th Doctor writer for these audios. This is a terrifying and incredibly atmospheric audio filled with plenty of tension, black humor and the occasional jump scare. This is Lovecraftian horror executed to perfection.
Overall: A brilliant audio that kept me on the edge of my seat. 10/10

"Rose, I'm not being funny, but are you gonna travel the universe just to meet boys?"
"Dunno. You gonna travel the universe just to meet monsters?"
this story was so brilliant, with some really dark moments again that just heightened the series one finale for me, and uGh i love the Ninth Doctor and his poor tortured soul. also, bonus points because it included another bad wolf reference...

Enjoyed this , maybe more than the first in the series not sure tbh.
Good soundscape , actors as always excellent, story moved at a fast pace due to it being a single 60 minutes episode but don’t feel much could have been gained by having more time.
Overall solid story and definitely recommend to those who liked the 2005 series.

Eccleston really brought the emotion in his speech alluding to what he’s done in the past that he can’t forgive himself for but would do again. Also funny when Rose teases him about fearing her mom more than anything else.

October 7, 2025RTD said that if the Disney deal collapsed Doctor Who would have to survive as claustrophobic ghost stories and this is solid proof that approach would work. Great mix of sci-fi and supernatural, immersive sound and fantastic character work

Now this felt like a proper RTD1 script! An excellent character piece with a limited cast; Rose, Jackie and especially the Doctor got some excellent material in this one. I love Eccleston. And who else I love? Brainy Betty! What a character! I hope she comes back!

In the words of the 9th Doctor, fantastic! perfectly captures the 9th Doctor Rose dynamic and some nice moments acknowledging and reflecting on what happened in the TV episode Father's Day. The aliens and storyline were very well written and suited to audio.

That was genuinely scary. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. Everyone's performance shone through. I liked the plot, but the conclusion was a little vague. And yet, I can't help but be impressed. Definitely worth listening to.

Wotcher!
Not only was this writing perfectly tailored to the audiodrama format, but it was hilarious, tense, emotional when it needed to be, and absolutely BONE-CHILLING.

i thought it was a little moffat tinged and then in the interviews atack himself said "it's a bit moffat." but what fun to be with these characters again

4.2 'The Last Days of the Powell Estate' by Timothy X Atack: 4,5*
November 9, 2025
Absolutely loved it and was an immediate relisten
Have not given a 5 star in a very very long time to a Doctor Who post classic series.
What was not to love the Doctor and Rose interactions or Brainy Betty and Jackie Tyler interactions
And Ellis Coates understandable narration.Creepy atmospheric and a loveable story and a couple of really fun black humour lines.I am always saying a sign for me of a good audio is the character acting and lines that i remember and there is one in here that will forever stick in my memory.
I didn’t buy the first story as not To my liking but thought this one would suit me more and thankfully my gut instinct was correct.
If they are all as gripping i would be more than happy.
And it sits suitably within its era…also this is the companion for 9 in my opinion before it all became lovey dovey.
Top marks,loved it didn’t change the universe but provided an entertaining 55 minutes.
Top Marks to all the cast and writers and director
