Doctor Who has always been known for its “hide behind the sofa” moments, and while I’ve found it to be a rare occurrence, personally, when watching the show, the moments that do grip you are terrifying.

The Fourth Doctor era has long been deemed as the scariest of them all, and it’s fitting that Big Finish calls on some of that with its up coming release, Doctor Who – The Fourth Doctor Adventures: The Cloisters of Terror. They’ve also released a brand new trailer, above.

Big Finish also released a brief overview of the Fourth Doctor and Leela adventure, by Jonathan Morris:

“St Matilda’s College, Oxford is haunted. The building was formerly a convent and, so the story goes, three ghostly nuns wander its passages during the hours of darkness. The story goes on to say that anyone who sees the ‘three sisters’ will not be long for this world.

When one of the students mysteriously disappears, the Dean of the College, Dame Emily Shaw, has no option but to call in the police. Her call appears to be answered when a Police Box arrives in her study; the Doctor and Leela have come to investigate and uncover the dark secret that has lain buried beneath the college for almost a thousand years…”

You might have not noticed the Dean’s last name is Shaw, and you would be correct in wondering if there is a connection to the Third Doctor’s companion, Liz Shaw. Rowena Cooper has been cast as Emily Shaw, mother to Liz Shaw.

I do love a good scare and ghost story, so I’ll definitely be interested in listening to The Cloisters of Terror. It’s set for a June release, but can be preordered now. What do you think, dear readers? Has the trailer piqued your interest?
