Doctor Who: The Ninth Doctor Adventures 2.1 - Back to Earth (CD)

A second series of adventures from Big Finish begins, featuring Christopher Eccleston as the Ninth Doctor. Time and again, the Doctor finds himself returning to his favourite planet.

But Tsarevich Dimitry is not what he seems... 1.3 Auld Lang Syne by Tim Foley. Every December, Mandy Litherland gathers the family at Foulds House to see in the New Year.
