A Christmas special from Big Finish for Nine - and Susan!

The Wash, a new audio drama from Big Finish coming to the official Doctor Who YouTube December 22nd

Christopher Eccleston and Carole Ann Ford star together for the first time in The Ninth Doctor Adventures: The Wash, a special full-cast audio drama streaming free on the official Doctor Who YouTube channel this Christmas Day.

Written by Robert Valentine, The Wash reunites two generations of the Doctor's family – the Ninth Doctor himself and his granddaughter Susan – in a story that begins, improbably, in a launderette on the Powell Estate. Avoiding Jackie Tyler's early Christmas preparations, the Doctor heads to The Wash Inn; there, alongside unexpected dangers, he finds himself in conversation with a voice from the past. 

The Wash will stream live on the official Doctor Who YouTube channel on Tuesday 22nd December, giving fans the chance to listen along together. It will remain free to stream for one month afterwards – part of a selection box of Doctor Who treats from Big Finish arriving over the Christmas period, with further announcements to come.
