Despite the fact that his first audio drama in the role has been out for a few weeks now, it still feels kind of shocking to live in a world where Christopher Eccleston is back in the proverbial leather jacket as
Doctor Who’s Ninth Doctor. But we indeed are, and it’s mostly fascinating: if only because it’s perhaps not quite the Ninth Doctor you could expect.
The Ninth Doctor Adventures: Ravagers is not so much three stories to mark Eccleston’s return to the world of

He kept us waiting which I guess is fair, for a Time Lord.
Big Finish has been teasing the arrival of its new line of
Doctor Who audio adventures for a while now. It marks Christopher Eccleston’s first official return to the franchise since he departed the show in 2005. But after a long, long wait, the company has announced that, like a TARDIS showing up on your doorstep, the Doctor is in! As of today!
The Ninth Doctor Adventures: Ravagers collects three new episodes
Food Fight,
Cataclysm, and
Sphere of Freedom starring Eccleston as the Doctor, wandering time and space in the wake of the soul-scarring events of the Last Great Time War. With a few new friends along the way in the form of Nova (Camilla Beeput) and Audrey (Jayne McKenna), the Doctor’s ready to stop the universe from being devoured by sinister forces, after his plan to stop an evil business empire goes horribly wrong.
