Today is the day Doctor Who fans, the first chapter of multimedia event storyline Doctor Who: Circuit Breaker is now live via the UNIT website. The launch kicks off a huge summer for the Fugitive Doctor (Jo Martin) in a connected story that will unfold across audio, publishing, comics, gaming and digital platforms.
The adventure begins on the UNIT website with ‘Calling the Doctor‘, written by Esmie Jikiemi-Pearson. Circuit Breaker follows Osgood (Ingrid Oliver) and Andrew (Omari Douglas) as a mysterious threat emerges from UNIT’s Black Archive, leading them to seek help from the Fugitive Doctor (Jo Martin).
Future chapters will continue across Titan Comics, Doctor Who Magazine, BBC Audiobooks, East Side Games, Puffin, BBC Books and Big Finish.
In the depths of UNIT’s most secure facility, the Black Archive, familiar objects have been pulled through time and space surrounded with a dangerous energy signature threatening to tear reality apart. With time running out, newly appointed Head of the Black Archive, Osgood (Ingrid Oliver) and her assistant Andrew (Omari Douglas) turn to the only person who can help… the Doctor (Jo Martin).
This is no ordinary crisis, and not the Time Lord they are familiar with. As the Doctor confronts her most infamous enemies such as the Daleks, Cybermen, Sontarans and a rogue Weeping Angel, she is forced to complete a mission with an insidious presence lurking in the shadows.
Secrets begin to surface, and trust between UNIT and the Doctor begins to erode as those who idolise her start to question if she really is the Time Lord they thought they knew…
