Big Finish have unveiled the covers for the much anticipated Damaged Goods and The Well Mannered War, alongside dates for both releases.
The Well-Mannered War
BigFinish.com says:
“Adapted by John Dorney from Gareth Roberts’ original novel, Doctor Who: The Well-Mannered War pitches the Fourth Doctor and Romana against Chelonian soldiers, a horrific hidden force, and a political campaign looking to elect the first robot dog to power. It stars Tom Baker, Lalla Ward and Tim McInnerny.”
Original book synopsis:
Barclow - an Earth-type planet on the fringes of space at an inestimably distant point in the future. Two factions have laid claim to it: humans from the nearby colony world of Metralubit, and a small group of Chelonian troopers. But in nearly two hundred years of conflict not one shot has been fired in anger, there are regular socials in the trenches and the military commanders are the best of friends.
The Doctor, Romana and K-9, arriving in the midst of these bizarre hostilities, find there’s real trouble to come. A crucial election on Metralubit is looming, and K-9 is forced to begin a new career as a politician. Meanwhile, Romana meets an old friend and the Doctor discovers that a sinister hidden force may be attempting to alter the war’s friendly nature.
What are the plans of Galatea, the leader of the beautiful robotic Femdroids? Who is killing soldiers on both sides of the battle lines? And will K-9’s oratory save the day?
Just what is going on?

Damaged Goods
BigFinish.com says:
“Doctor Who: Damaged Goods is adapted by Jonathan Morris from the original novel by Doctor Who show-runner Russell T Davies. As the Seventh Doctor, Roz Forrester and Chris Cwej arrive at a housing estate, they find a perfect storm arising of alien technology, physic powers and a terrible bargain made long ago… The story stars Sylvester McCoy, Yasmin Bannerman, Travis Oliver, Denise Black and Michelle Collins.”
Original book synopsis:
The Doctor, Chris and Roz arrive at the Quadrant, a troubled council block in Thatcher’s Britain. There’s a new drug on the streets, a drug that’s killing to a plan. Somehow, the very ordinary people of the Quadrant are involved. And so, amidst the growing chaos, a bizarre trio moves into number 43.
The year is 1987: a dead drug dealer has risen from the grave, and an ancient weapon is concealed beneath human tragedy. But the Doctor soon discovers that the things people do for their children can be every bit as deadly as any alien menace - as he uncovers the link between a special child, an obsessive woman, and a desperate bargain made one dark Christmas Eve.
