For the past six weeks, Big Finish has been releasing free full-cast audio adventures from its back catalogue. This week it’s the turn of the Eighth Doctor in Dark Eyes: The Great War.

Since the beginning of the lockdown imposed by the coronavirus crisis, Big Finish has been releasing FREE downloads of full-cast audio dramas – or #lockdownloads – for a limited time.

Every Monday, a new story (or episode from a box set collection) can be downloaded exclusively from the Big Finish web site’s Weekly Deals page at https://www.bigfinish.com/collections/v/weekly-deals.

These stories can be unlocked by anyone who has registered for a Big Finish account (which is free to create) and played on the Big Finish listening app (which is free to install).

Each story will be available for one week only, and comes accompanied by a special discount offer on related titles.

This week’s free title is:

Doctor Who: The Great War (c) Big Finish

Doctor Who – Dark Eyes: The Great War written by Nicholas Briggs

Voluntary Aid Detachment nursing assistant Molly O’Sullivan spends her days facing the horrors of the Great War. Little does she know that a man from another world has arrived, looking for her.

But what are the strange sounds coming from the battlefield at night? Where is the glowing gas coming from? And is everyone who they claim to be?

Doctor Who: Dark Eyes – Ruth Bradley and Paul McGann (c) Big Finish
