A beautifully designed collectible version of my Tenth Doctor and Donna story Pest Control has been announced. What a treat now that David Tennant and Catherine Tate are returning this month to TV Doctor Who.

Demon Records, a subsidiary of BBC Studios, have put together a six LP release of my story Pest Control, read by David Tennant, along with Dan Abnett’s story The Forever Trap, read by Catherine Tate.

Dan and I have each written a new introduction to our stories, reflecting on how we went about the original commissions and what it means to us today.

You can see more details of the specifications in the official BBC announcement. The artwork and design is by Sam Goddard of Oink Creative, and Michael Stevens coordinated the project. And you can preorder from a variety of retailers here.

These two audio stories were the first that the actors performed in role as original stories outside the TV series. That was always the hope when I was writing the script, though it wasn’t until after I had delivered my manuscript that David was confirmed as the reader of mine.
