She’s back – and it’s about time! Sheridan Smith returns to Big Finish as Lucie Miller for a brand new Eighth Doctor Short Trip…

February 1974 is grimmer than usual for the British. Huddling together by candlelight the nation endures regular power cuts, however the situation is far worse for one old woman. Out of the dark come visitors who know of her terrible burden of wartime secrets. All she fought to save is threatened. Whom can she trust? The troubled ghosts which plague her, a young man who has befriended her, or her new carer Lucie and her strange friend, The Doctor?

Written by Alice Cavander, Doctor Who – Short Trips: The Curse of the Fugue is the long-awaited return of beloved Doctor Who companion Lucie Miller, performed by original actress Sheridan Smith. Download this website exclusive title today for just £2.99!
