Doctor Who: Pest Control

“There goes my TARDIS!”

Demon Records celebrates David Tennant and Catherine Tate’s partnership as the Doctor and Donna with two audio exclusive stories on vinyl, read by the actors themselves.

In PEST CONTROL, read by David Tennant, the Doctor and Donna face monstrous insects and a ruthless robot exterminator when the TARDIS is lost in battle on a distant planet. The Doctor sets off in pursuit of his craft, while Donna finds herself accepting a commission in the Pioneer Corps. Something is transforming soldiers into monstrous beetles and she could be the next victim.

In THE FOREVER TRAP, read by Catherine Tate, the duo find themselves imprisoned in a complex of luxury apartments in space, and neighbours to a terrifying assortment of aliens. Deadly mobs wage battle in the corridors and on the stairwells, and the travellers must cross their paths as they search for the ultimate authority. Who, or what, lies at the heart of the Edifice?

Doctor Who: Pest Control

This stunning box set, with an illustrated lift off lid, features 6 x 140g vinyl LPs three in Transparent Red and three in Transparent Yellow each housed in a unique inner sleeve. A four page booklet features sleeve notes by authors Peter Anghelides and Dan Abnett, who reflect on the process of writing for the Tenth Doctor and Donna, and how they regard the stories 17 years later.

Now for the first time on vinyl, accompanied by original sound design and Murray Gold’s Series 4 arrangement of the familiar theme music, these two high octane adventures are a reminder of the excitement, humour and magical wonder of Doctor Who.

Doctor Who: Dead Air for RSD 2022

Demon Records have announced another release in their successful Who Vinyl range. “Dead Air”, starring David Tennant, forms part of 2022’s Record Story Day celebrations. This annual event designed to encourage people to support their local record shop returns on Saturday the 23rd of April. And once again Demon Records are marking the day with a Doctor Who audio release on vinyl with an eye-catching design.

Doctor Who: Dead Air by James Goss

Hot on the heels of a creature that exists through sound, the Doctor lands on a pirate radio station boat in the late 1960s. The creature has already killed some of the DJs, and the Doctor befriends the survivors. But then the lights go out, and a desperate race for survival begins. Who can the Doctor trust in the dark?

Read by David Tennant in character as the Doctor, speaking directly to the listener with a warning of a creature that lives in sound, Dead Air’s ‘found footage’ conceit makes it a unique listening experience. The 2010 story will be available on vinyl for the first time on two 140g Soundwave Green Vinyl discs.
