DEC 15/25: SANTA CLAUS IS COMING TO BETRUVIA MAJOR
The Doctor Who Project has confirmed they will be releasing a special Christmas adventure for 2025 to be released December 20, 2025.

The 2025 Christmas Special: Santa Claus Is Coming To Betruvia Major written by Hamish Crawford, features the TDWP Eleventh Doctor and travelling companion Maggie Weitz in an all new adventure for the holiday season.

Synopsis for Santa Claus Is Coming To Betruvia Major

Many years ago, a colony was established outside the Earth Empire. Deep in the caves below, a miraculous technology was uncovered. Now, a generation later, this miracle can create anything the heart desires. And since Venk Murray, planetary C.E.O., loves Christmas, every day on this planet can be Christmas Day!

It’s all too good to be true, and the Doctor and Maggie are quick to see its sinister connotations. For while Betruvia Major is a society of plenty, its neighbouring world is torn by civil war and collapse—and yet the people seem oblivious to the suffering and treat the refugees of the conflict with polite indifference. Furthermore, the Empire has heard tell of this technology and wants to harness it for their own malign purposes.

Matters come to their head in the latest application of this project, the creation of a fully self-aware Santa Claus. And with only a revolutionary and a washed-up Santa impersonator to help them, and with the Doctor finding his own faculties affected by the eerie underpinnings of this world’s miracle, Christmas on Betruvia Major could turn out to be a cataclysmic event …M/i>

Santa Claus Is Coming To Betruvia Major will be available in a free PDF download which can be read on your desktop, laptop, e-Reader or tablet.

DEC 15/25: THE LAST DOCTOR: PART TWO RE-RELEASED
The run up to The Doctor Who Project's 2025 Christmas Special continues with the re-release of he Last Doctor: Part Two.

The TARDIS arrives at a destination the Doctor has long been dreading: the city of London in 2963, one thousand years after he left with Susan, Ian, and Barbara. But time is not running as it should: the continuum has shrunk to this one day; everyone on Earth blindly worships the Doctor; and all the peoples of the universe have ceased their conflict, subjugated by a boy as irresponsible as he is powerful, who claims he is the Doctor’s final incarnation.

Maggie knows in her marrow that the boy cannot be the Doctor, but finds her faith tested by the astonishing return from the dead of her husband, Ollie. As if that is not bad enough, the Doctor’s seventh incarnation has also arrived, concerned his timeline has been knocked off course since he left Perivale with Ace in 1989, and thus intent on assassinating his eleventh self to prevent this ‘Last Doctor’ from existing.

Can the two Doctors, Maggie, and Ollie outwit all the Time Lord’s former foes, now acting in the service of this twisted glimpse of his future? What does all this have to do with the Doctor’s unsettling dreams, and his increasing inability to distinguish them from reality? What secret is hidden beyond Earth’s sun? And what greater force is behind the ‘Last Doctor’?

This time the Doctor means it when he says that nothing will ever be the same again.

The Last Doctor: Part Two is available free to download in PDF format, fully compatible with desktop, laptop, e-Reader, and tablet devices.

DEC 3/25: COUNTDOWN TO THE 2025 CHRISTMAS SPECIAL BEGINS!
As excitement builds for the upcoming 2025 Christmas Special, readers are invited to journey back to the dramatic events that closed out Season 45. Beginning December 3rd, we’re proud to present the re-release of The Last Doctor – Part One — newly prepared for fans old and new.

This gripping opening chapter sets the stage for the Doctor’s most existential battle yet.

Plot Synopsis

Something is rotten in the state of Gallifrey.

The Time Lords, desperate and divided, are on the brink of forging an alliance with the Preservers — a sinister race from a higher plane of existence whose vast knowledge of the multiverse comes at a terrible cost. Their condition for cooperation is unthinkable: the complete removal of the Doctor from the timelines, erasing centuries of his heroism.

Among the Council stands one of the plan’s most fervent supporters: the Waiter, a radical young Time Lord with a dangerous vision of Gallifrey’s future.

Meanwhile on Earth, the date is 23 November 2963, and a mysterious boy presides over a strangely harmonious empire — patiently awaiting the Doctor’s arrival.

But the Doctor has problems of his own. Fleeing from his own people and racing against destiny, he discovers that time and space are contracting. Worse still, new and unwelcome memories begin to overwrite his last three regenerations: each of those Doctors lured out of their rightful place in the continuum and ruthlessly assassinated. This looming paradox threatens to erase the present Doctor before he ever comes into existence.

As his own past dissolves, the Doctor finally grasps the truth behind the conspiracy — a threat greater than any enemy he has faced: his own future, reaching back to end his adventures once and for all.

Free Download

The Last Doctor – Part One will be available free to download in PDF format, fully compatible with desktop, laptop, e-Reader, and tablet devices.

Return to the darkness before the light — and prepare yourself for Christmas. The adventure resumes December 20, 2025!

SEP 19/25: NEW BRIEF ENCOUNTER STORY
The latest in our Brief Encounters range has been released.

LIFE SENTENCE by Frost Carter features the Seventh Doctor & Ace.



Prisons are meant to have walls. Prisons are meant to have a guard staff. Prisons are meant to have all sorts of security measures intended to keep those who have been detained within. The prison found on the moon Holmena IV has no such features, but it is no less inescapable. At least, not until the Doctor and Ace find themselves its newest inmates.

Life Sentence is available to download in a free PDF file which can be read on your desktop, laptop, e-Reader or tablet.
