BBC Studios have announced a brand-new multiplatform story called Doom’s Day as part of the Doctor Who 60th-anniversary celebrations.
The titular Doom will caper across space and time in what sounds like a blatant excuse to cover the greatest hits of all things Doctor Who. The multimedia caper will bring together various Doctor Who branded media, including Big Finish and BBC Audio, Titan Comics, Penguin Random House, East Side Games, and Doctor Who Magazine, in what appears to be a cross-branding exercise reminiscent of 1996’s Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire. (Fans with long memories will recall that led to many more spin-offs.)
Each piece of media will concentrate on an hour of Doom’s time, as she zaps across time and space and has a very bad 24 hours. The standalone stories will also have an overarching narrative that will play out before the finale, which will release on Doctor Who digital channels.
Doom herself will be performed by the amazing stand-up comedian Sooz Kempner, who is well known for her frantic stand-up, musical skill, and versatility.
