A brand new audio bundle of three Doctor Who stories to celebrate the 60th anniversary. 
 
1990s - Wannabes by Dave Rudden 
 
It's Dublin in 1994, and the Doctor and Donna have arraived at the tiny nightclub known as Headlong. 
 
Headlong is famous for precisely one thing - holding the karaoke night where four young women came together to make the biggest girl band of the 90s: the Honeybloods. 
 
Donna has convinced the Doctor to visit their first ever concert (she reckons she could have been one of them if the timelines were different) - and he has begrudgingly agreed. 
 
Naturally the band is kidnapped by a deadly pack of siren-like creatures who adapt to and feed off human adulation, usually harvested by taking the form of cultural icons. 
 
With Dublin and the world to save, Donna may get her chance to perform on the world's biggest stage . . . 
 
2000s - The Monster in the Cupboard by Kalynn Bayron 
 
When the Doctor and Rose stumble across thirteen-year-old Lily, they both agree she needs their help. 
 
Lily thinks there are monsters in the closet, hiding under the bed. And that they've taken her mother and brother - who went missing months ago. 
 
When asked about the monster, Lily can only say it's made of immense light and power. Rose and the Doctor must find out who and what the creature is, and where it's taken Lily's family. 
 
It is a search that will take them right back to the childhood of Lily's grandmother, and another disappearance all those years ago . . . 
 
2010s - The Angel of Redemption by Nikita Gill 
 
A poem of tragedy and beauty . . . 
 
The Weeping Angels are an ancient race of terrible power. 
 
With the ability to propel their victims backwards in time, their true form is a mystery - they turn to stone on sight. So they wander the universe, cursed never to see one another. 
 
But they see everything else: the whole course of time and space - even the journey of their deadliest enemy, the Doctor. 
 
In this extraordinary, epic poem, the Weeping Angels sing the story of the years they've battled the Doctor, and everything in between, as - like a Greek Chorus - they tell the world with their tragic tale.

1960s - Imaginary Friends by Jacqueline Rayner 
 
It's Christmas, 1963, when nine-year-old Gerald starts dreaming of strange worlds and monsters 
 
His parents think it's harmless at first. But Gerald is convinced it's real - his dreams of Daleks and cavemen and insects as big as a person. 
 
Desperate for help, what Gerald's family really need, right now, is a Doctor. 
 
1970s - The Cradle by Tasha Suri 
 
It is London, 1978, and tensions are high. Seema and her family are struggling, but she has learnt to keep her head down, not create trouble. 
 
That is until she and her two friends, Terrence and Inderjit, decide to join an anti-National Front protest in the East End. 
 
And when trouble does inevitably find them, the friends are saved by the appearance of a mysterious, seemingly broken-down bus. 
 
But inside this bus it is like nothing any of them have ever seen. It is a journey through the most wonderful landscapes, where visions of hopes and dreams envelop the lost group. 
 
Who - or what - is this strange place? The tall, grumpy man might know the answers, but then he also seems just as confused as they are . . . 
 
1980s - The Self-Made Man by Mark Griffiths 
 
Midnight, 1984. 
 
In a sprawling, run-down housing estate in south London, a man returning from a night out in the West End finds himself pursued by a strange hooded figure. 
 
So naturally when the Doctor and Romana arrive in the TARDIS the next day, they find themselves in the middle of a crime scene. 
 
But when child genius Matthew Pickles - inventor of a hugely popular handheld videogame - arrives to help them crack the case, they discover there is more to this than meets the eye. 
 
Someone has been messing with technology that's not of this earth, blurring the lines between human . . . and cyber. And it looks like they're out for revenge. 
 
In a world on the brink of gadgets and gismos and dangerous tech, the pair must uncover the killer, before they strike again.
