The Fugitive Doctor's Big Finish Debut: Hunting Down Her Future Self
Get ready for a wild ride through time! The Fugitive Doctor, played by Jo Martin, makes her long-awaited debut in a new Big Finish Doctor Who Audio Drama. This time, she's got a unique mission: tracking down one of her future incarnations.
If you're unfamiliar with the Fugitive Doctor, she's a mysterious Doctor Who existed before the First Doctor. She was a secret agent for the Division, a clandestine Time Lord organization, working to ensure Gallifrey's dominance. But, she had a change of heart and decided to leave it all behind.
Fans of the TV show will remember her from Season 12's "Fugitive of the Judoon," where the Thirteenth Doctor (played by Jodie Whitaker) discovered her hidden away as a human in modern England.
The Fugitive Doctor's Big Finish Adventure: A Multi-Doctor Showdown
The Fugitive Doctor's first Big Finish Audio Drama is part of the company's 60th-anniversary storyline, "Once and Future." This storyline involved the younger War Doctor (played by Jonathon Carley) trying to solve the mystery of his regeneration condition. But, in the finale, "Once and Future: Coda - The Final Act," the War Doctor is being hunted by the Fugitive Doctor. The reason for the chase is a mystery.
Joining the Fugitive Doctor on her adventure are some familiar faces:
- Lisa Bowerman as Bernice Summerfield
- Chase Masterson as Vienna Salvatori
This sounds like an awesome, multi-Doctor adventure! It's exciting to see the Fugitive Doctor finally getting her own audio dramas.
The Fugitive Doctor's Story: A Mystery Unfolds
We still have so much to learn about the Fugitive Doctor. We know very little about her life before she became an agent for the Division and even less about what happened after she defected. Her appearance in the TV show was just a glimpse into her complicated past. This makes her Big Finish debut even more exciting because it could be a chance to finally learn more about her journey and her motivations.
The Big Finish audio dramas might give us more insight into the events that led to her disillusionment with the Time Lords and her decision to leave Gallifrey.
What's Next for the Fugitive Doctor?
It's hard to say where the Fugitive Doctor's journey will go next. Her Big Finish debut seems like it will be set during her time working for the Division. The description of the audio drama makes it seem like she'll be involved in a lot of covert missions. This could be a great opportunity to explore a side of the Doctor we haven't seen before.
Whether the Fugitive Doctor will ever return to the TV show is a mystery, but her Big Finish debut is a chance to learn more about her unique story and her place in the larger Doctor Who universe.
Doctor Who: Once and Future: Coda - The Final Act is set to be released on Big Finish's website in November.
