Big Finish’s 12 Days: The Auntie Matter for £2.99

Christian Cawley is a writer at Kasterborous Doctor Who News and Reviews - All the latest Doctor Who news and reviews with our weekly podKast, features and interviews, and a long-running forum.

Released in 2013, The Auntie Matter was the first of the second series of Big Finish’s The Fourth Doctor Adventures, and reunited Tom Baker with Mary Tamm for the first time in Doctor Who since 1978’s The Armageddon Factor.

Oh, and for another day Big Finish are making it available for a jaw-droppingly paltry £2.99 download!

Written by Jonathan Morris, it goes a bit like this:

England in the 1920s.

Whilst K9 is off in the TARDIS leading the Black Guardian on a wild goose chase, the Doctor and Romana are enjoying a leisurely lifestyle as the Lord and Lady of a London townhouse. But trouble never stays away from them for long, and before they know it a chance discovery of alien technology leads them deep into the heart of the English countryside where a malign presence lurks.

As the Doctor dodges deadly butlers and ferocious gamekeepers, Romana is faced with a malevolent Aunt and an even deadlier peril – marriage.

Co-stars include Lucy Griffiths (Robin Hood), and Julia McKenzie (Miss Marple). Fans may recall that Mary Tamm sadly passed away six months previously, making the release and subsequent series rather bittersweet. It is, however, a pleasure to hear the first incarnationk of Romana sparring with the Doctor once again, however.
