A dimly-lit underground bunker is the scene for the Eleventh Doctor’s latest thrilling adventure, as May sees the release of brand new audio original The Day of the Cockroach. Written specially for AudioGO by Steve Lyons, it is read by Arthur Darvill, who plays Rory in the hit TV series.
The TARDIS materialises in a pitch-dark tunnel, where the Doctor, Amy and Rory stumble on the dead body of a soldier. Questioned by his superior officer, Colonel Bowe, they learn that they’re inside a British nuclear bunker, in the middle of an atomic war – in 1982.
Amy and Rory weren’t even born then, but they know the bomb didn’t drop that year, and so does the Doctor. The friends also know they had nothing to do with the death of Sergeant Trott – so who, or what, was the killer? And why does the Doctor’s psychic paper not work on the Colonel?
The Doctor, Amy and Rory soon learn that something else is lurking in the shadows. Something deadly…
Written specially for audio by Steve Lyons, Day of the Cockroach features the Doctor, Amy and Rory as played by Matt Smith, Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill in the acclaimed hit series from BBC Television.

The First Doctor is also in the dark in May, in our classic audio release Doctor Who: The Sensorites. Written by Nigel Robinson, it sees the TARDIS landing on a gloomy, drifting spaceship whose crew appear to be dead, but are in fact mortally afraid. It is read by William Russell, who played the Doctor’s companion Ian in the original TV serial.
The TARDIS materialises on board a dark and silent spaceship. As the Doctor, Susan, Ian and Barbara penetrate the craft’s eerie gloom they come across what appear to be the bodies of two dead astronauts.
But the astronauts are far from dead, and are living in mortal fear of the Sensorites, a race of telepathic creatures from the Sense-Sphere. When the lock of the TARDIS is stolen the Doctor is forced into an uneasy alliance with the aliens. And when he arrives on the Sensorites’ planet he discovers that it is not only the Humans who have cause to be afraid…
