Big Finish Audio Weekly Freebie is “Doctor Who: The Nightmare Fair”

Big Finish Audio has been offering free weekly downloads over the last six months. This week, Doctor Who: The Nightmare Fair part one, written by Graham Williams, adapted by John Ainsworth is the free download.

This full-cast audio drama was Big Finish’s first ever Lost Story, adapted from the script originally planned for Doctor Who’s twenty-third season on television. It stars Colin Baker and Nicola Bryant (as the Sixth Doctor and Peri), with guest star David Baillie as The Celestial Toymaker (a part originated by Michael Gough in the 1960s).

The TARDIS has been drawn to Blackpool in the year 1985, where the Doctor intends to investigate a dangerous space/time vortex while enjoying some local attractions along the way. However, an old enemy is watching from his base deep within the amusement park. This is a timeless being who craves revenge. The Celestial Toymaker has returned! The game is on. Should he lose, the Doctor will pay the ultimate forfeit…

The complete Doctor Who: The Nightmare Fair is available as a collector’s edition CD or download (at over 60% OFF), while the stock lasts.
