15th Doctor Novelisation

Doctor Who: The Church on Ruby Road

Angela Wynter reads this novelisation of the first full adventure for the Fifteenth Doctor, as played on TV by Ncuti Gatwa, and Ruby Sunday as played on TV by Millie Gibson. 
 
“I’ve been waiting, all this time, for my life to begin. Maybe it’s time to stop waiting. Maybe it’s time to start living.” 
 
Chance. Misfortune. Coincidence. These are the weapons of choice for the Doctor’s latest enemies. And those enemies are very, very hungry… 
 
For Ruby Sunday, this Christmas Eve is a birthday she’ll never forget. It’s the day she joins the Doctor on board a Goblin ship. The day she learns of dangers from beyond the universe. The day her life really begins… or, perhaps, the day it ends. 
 
Angela Wynter, who plays Cherry Sunday in the BBC TV series, reads Esmie Jikiemi-Pearson's novelisation of the television script by Russell T Davies.

15th Doctor Novel

Caoilfhionn Dunne reads this brand new novel featuring the Doctor and Belinda, as played on TV by Ncuti Gatwa and Varada Sethu. 
 
Step right up for the most sensational cruise in the galaxy! 
The TARDIS lands on board a luxury space liner owned by the interstellar shipping magnate Marilyn Moon. The Moon Cruise offers its wealthy passengers up-close views of astounding cosmic wonders and the Doctor and Belinda are soon high-rolling it on the top deck. 
But there is a sinister side to life on board. What is the secret of the smiling, blonde-haired mannequins? What happens to the cruise ship workers when they go off shift? The Doctor soon learns that not all prisons come with bars on the windows, while Belinda faces one 
of the greatest cruelties in the universe – a zero-pay contract in retail and hospitality that can never be broken ... 
 
Cailfhionn Dunne - who played Shaya in the 2025 BBC TV episode The Well - reads Esmie Jikiemi-Pearson's original novel.
