The two-story audio companion to Full Circuit is scheduled for 24 September, with Dan Starkey performing the Conductor's origin.

The Doctor Who: Circuit Breaker storyline has one more audio stop after this week's full-cast finale. Big Finish lists Short Circuits for Thursday 24 September: two shorter stories about figures around the Fugitive Doctor's wider crisis. What the companion adds The official release page names Battleships , written by

Alex Hewitt and performed by Dan Starkey, as the Conductor's backstory. Its synopsis follows the unusual Sontaran before his scheme against the Doctor. The second piece, Get Rich or Die Trying , is also written by Hewitt from a story by Natasha Siegel. Big Finish has not yet filled in that story's synopsis, so its role

in the larger plot remains open. This is a 66-minute narrated audiobook companion, distinct from Full Circuit 's full-cast drama. Big Finish's 22 September announcement places it at the end of a project that has crossed comics, books, games and audio. Listeners following the event can use the release page for the final

availability and format details. Headline image: Big Finish Productions / BBC; official promotional cover.
