Competitions
The Quin Dilemma Audio Drama
For all of you who just can’t get enough of the Sixth Doctor, this release celebrates 40 years of his travels with a special run of adventures…
“It was a milestone that just had to be celebrated,” says producer Jacqueline Rayner. “Our job was to show just why dear ol’ Sixie is so beloved by Big Finish fans – of course, the main answer to that is ‘Colin Baker’ – and shine a light on what he brings to Doctor Who.”
The set is made up of six chapters (by Rayner, Chris Chapman and Robert Valentine) that follow the quins of the title as they set out on an epic and deadly mission – including a brush with the Sontarans.
These stories are available from big nish.com (£18.99 for a download and £22.99 for download and CD), but you can win yourself one of FIVE copies we have on offer by answering this question:

The Dream Team Audio Drama
It was, perhaps, an obvious monster for the 2014 Christmas Special: an alien crab that draws you into a web of dreams while it sneakily eats your brains! If you want to find out how the Fifth Doctor and companions Nyssa, Tegan and Adric fare against this insidious menace, then this is the release for you.
It’s comprised of two very different stories. First up, is The Merfolk Murders by Tim Foley. It’s set in Scotland during World War Two, where the Doctor investigates a mysterious death…
This is followed by the title story, Dream Team, by Lizzie Hopley.

This is a journey from which some of them will never return.
