As we reported last month, there was a well-placed rumor going around that former Doctor Who stars David Tennant and Catherine Tate were returning to their roles as the Tenth Doctor and Donna Noble in a new series of audio adventures for Big Finish. Well, today it’s been made official: the Tenth Doctor and Donna are back!

The duo will return for three new stories in Big Finish’s new Tenth Doctor Adventures range, all to be released in May 2016. Producer David Richardson calls it a dream come true:

"“This is one of those dream projects where I’ve spent months pinching myself. I’m covered in bruises. With two major international stars in place, and the legacy of this era of the TV show to live up to, we’ve worked our socks off to try and make some very special stories for this box set. Expect adventure, fun, scares… and some tears too.”"

Here are the synopses and casts for all three stories:
