David Tennant is returning as Doctor Who in a audio spin-off of the telly programme.
He will team up to face the Daleks with fellow former time lord Tom Baker in the drama named Doctor Who: Out of Time.
The show is being put together by the producers of Brit company Big Finish, which produces books and audio plays, including Judge Dredd and Sherlock Holmes.
Out of Time, which will air in August, sees the two doctors meet after “dimensions barriers break down”, according to the show’s synopsis.

In later editions of the show different Doctors from the long-running series will also pair up to do battle against the Daleks.
Speaking to the Radio Times, David said: “Tom Baker was obviously the first Doctor that I knew.
“I was small when he took over and I grew up through the seven years that he was the Doctor. I was a massive fan. I met him in John Menzies in Glasgow and he signed my book. I had a doll of him. All that. Tom Baker was very much the Doctor. There is something about the way he is associated with the character that seems utterly timeless.”

The synopsis for the show reads: “The Cathedral of Contemplation is an enigma, existing outside time. It turns through history, opening its doors across the universe to offer solace to those in need.”
“Occasionally, the Doctor drops in – when he’s avoiding his destiny, it’s an ideal place to get some perspective. Only, he’s already there several lives earlier, so when dimension barriers break down, his past and present collide.
“And when the Daleks invade and commandeer the Cathedral, two Doctors must unite to stop them – or face extermination twice over!”
Out of Time will be available to pre-order as a collector’s edition CD or a digital download.

Tom Baker is the fourth doctor, who appeared for seven series after making his debut in 1974, while David was the the tenth incarnation, playing the role between 2005 and 2010.
In March Doctor Who was embroiled in a race row after streaming service BritBox aired old episodes featuring offensive terms for the Chinese.
The episodes from 1977 see them branded “inscrutable C***ks” while white people dress up as “evil” Asians.
After viewers flagged the issue, BritBox has slapped a warning on the episodes advising people they contain “stereotypes that some may find offensive.”
