One of Big Finish's most acclaimed and atmospheric Doctor Who audio dramas now reimagined in prose by its original author - Robert Shearman.

'Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house not a creature was stirring...

But something must be stirring. Something hidden in the shadows. Something which kills the servants of an old Edwardian mansion in the most brutal and macabre manner possible. Exactly on the chiming of the hour, every hour, as the grandfather clock ticks on towards midnight.

Trapped and afraid, the Doctor and his companion, Charley, are forced to play detective to murders with no motive, where even the victims don't stay dead. Time is running out.

And time itself might well be the killer...

Featuring the Eight Doctor as played on TV by Paul McGann and Charley Pollard as played on audio by India Fisher, The Chimes of Midnight is the second novelisation of a Big Finish audio drama after Jubilee - also by prize-winning playwright and short story writer Robert Shearman.
