The Sixth Doctor and Constance face a legendary Viking in the deserts of Arizona for Big Finish’s latest release, Doctor Who: Shield of the Jötunn.

The full-cast adventure rounds of the latest trilogy of Sixth Doctor adventures, as the Doctor (Colin Baker) and Constance Clarke (Miranda Raison) take a trip to an unusually cold Arizona, in the year 2029 AD.

In the desert, billionaire philanthropist Dr Hugo Macht is trying to save the world from climate change. But his great project to “scrub the sky clean” with nanoatomic machines grinds to an unexpected halt when his diggers break into something unexpected: a Viking burial barrow containing eight corpses, a mysterious shield, an even more mysterious inscription… and a yet more mysterious traveller in time and space, known only as the Doctor.

And that’s not even the strangest part of Dr Macht’s day. Soon, it’ll begin to snow. Soon, the Doctor and his Girl Friday, Mrs Constance Clarke, will come face-to-face with an ancient horror in the blizzard. A Frost Giant, in need of a new body. In need of flesh…

Starring Colin Baker, Miranda Raison, Michael J Shannon and James Caroll Jordan and written by Ian Edginton, Doctor Who: Shield of the Jötunn is available to buy on CD for £14.99 or Download for £12.99 today – and don’t forget, all Big Finish CD orders through the website also come with a complimentary Download so you can be listening only minutes after ordering.
