NewsMythscribe13 September 2026

Barbara Wright and the Paternoster Gang lead two upcoming narrated adventures.

Big Finish has announced two Doctor Who Audio Novels, each running approximately six hours. Two settings for the audio novels The Missing Hour , due in October 2026 , focuses on Barbara Wright meeting her father in wartime Malta before his disappearance. Simon Guerrier wrote the novel from a storyline developed with

Fio Tretheway; Barnaby Edwards narrates. The Bath Chronicles follows in January 2027 . Dan Starkey writes and performs a time-travelling adventure for Jenny and Strax that also brings them into contact with the Eleventh and Twelfth Doctors. These are narrated, novel-length audiobooks. Big Finish lists both as digital

downloads to own, currently available to preorder. The announcement gives release months rather than exact days, so listeners should check the individual product listings as those windows approach.
