We’ve already told you about the 12 Days of Big Finish promotion, in which the producers of Doctor Who audio adventures are reducing a whole host of their catalogue for 48 hours only. Today marks the halfway point as day 6 gives you the chance to own the audio adaptation of Paul Cornell’s Love and War for an amazingly low £2.99!

Love and War marks the introduction of Bernice Summerfield into the Whoniverse (as well as the first departure of Ace), portrayed here as she has been in her previous spinoff series (yes, the chronology is confusing) by Lisa Bowerman.

On a planet called Heaven, all hell is breaking loose.

Heaven is a cemetery for both humans and Draconians – a final place of rest for those lost during wartime. The Doctor arrives on a trivial mission – to find a book, or so he says – and Ace, wandering around Joycetown, becomes involved with a charismatic Traveller called Jan.

But the Doctor is strenuously opposed to the romance. What is he trying to prevent? Is he planning some more deadly game connected with the coffins revered by the mysterious Church of Vacuum and the unusual Arch that marks the location of a secret building below ground?

Archaeologist Bernice Summerfield thinks so. Her destiny is inextricably linked with that of the Doctor, but even she may not be able to save Ace from the Time Lord’s plans.

This time, has the Doctor gone too far?

Adapted by Jac Rayner and with James Redmond (Hollyoaks, Casualty) and Bernard Holley (Claws of Axos), and originally released as a Virgin New Adventure in 1993, Love and War (which we reviewed following its audio release) is a pivotal story in the run of Doctor Who stories between 1989 and 2005, and you can pick it up for just £2.99 at the Big Finish website.
