The 10th and 5th Doctors have to work together to defeat the Cybermen.
It is never easy working with family… David Tennant joins his father-in-law, Peter Davison, for Big Finish‘s Doctor Who: Out of Time 2 – The Gates of Hell. The Out of Time trilogy has Tennant’s 10th Doctor meeting up with his past selves and taking on some of his deadliest enemies. Part One had him meet up with Tom Baker’s Fourth Doctor. There they fought the Daleks, keeping them from getting control of the Cathedral of Contemplation, an enigma existing outside Time and Space who can access any place, any time. Too great a target for the Daleks to resist. This time, the Doctor and his past self will be taking on the Cybermen.

Producer David Richardson said:
“The Gates of Hell is really lovely stuff. It features a smashing script from David Llewellyn that shows these two Doctors at their very best, saving the universe together while facing one of their oldest foes. If Children in Need’s Time Crash left you wanting more, then here it is!”
Writer David Llewellyn added:
“It’s probably a bit of a cliché, but this was ‘dream come true’ stuff. One of my earliest television memories is Peter Davison pushing a Dalek out of a first floor window on Shad Thames, so he always felt like my Doctor, and I welled up a bit when the Tenth Doctor said the same thing in Time Crash. My brief was simple, just the basic ingredients, and they were all amazing. Fifth Doctor, Tenth Doctor, Cybermen. I mean, really. It was like Christmas!”
The third story of the trilogy, Out of Time 3 – features the Tenth Doctor alongside Colin Baker’s 6th Doctor. It will be available in July 2022, and can now be pre-ordered by itself or as part of a bundle featuring all three chapters in the Out of Time series. The download bundle will cost $24.00 while the collector’s CDs for about $38 plus shipping. Purchasing the CDs automatically includes a downloadable version.
