Rose Tyler’s latest audio adventures in a parallel universe continue today in The Dimension Cannon: Trapped.
In 2008, viewers watched as Rose Tyler fought her way back across the dimensions to be reunited with the Tenth Doctor in the TV episode, The Stolen Earth. And since 2019, Big Finish Productions has told more of that story in the full-cast audio drama, Rose Tyler: The Dimension Cannon.
Billie Piper leads the supremely talented cast of Rose Tyler: The Dimension Cannon – Trapped, a brand-new, three-part audio drama, released today by Big Finish. Camille Coduri also returns as the one and only Jackie Tyler, alongside newcomer Em Thane as Danni, Lorraine Horgan as Kaitlin and Cleo Sylvestre as Minton.
Rose Tyler: The Dimension Cannon – Trapped is now available as a collector’s edition box set (on CD + download for just £19.99) or digital download only (for just £16.99), exclusively from www.bigfinish.com.
After a disastrous dimension jump, Rose is trapped in a strange and dangerous reality.
Rose’s mission is to save the multiverse, but first she must save herself!
The three audio adventures in this box set include:
“Sink or Swim” by Lizzie Hopley
Rose is trapped and alone, at sea in an unfamiliar world, where a strange entropy eats away at those struggling to survive.
But she finds family, and hope, as she starts her quest to escape…
“The Lower Road” by Tim Foley
Trekking the wastelands, Rose and Danni discover a community that seems to have made peace with the Anti-Life.
But all groups have their secrets, and bargains come at a price.
“The Good Samaritan” by Helen Goldwyn
Trying to repair her Dimension Cannon, Rose seeks out the last haven of technology on this Earth.
But the utopia of the Dome hides a more desperate situation – and a storm of Anti-Life is closing in…
Piper said: “It’s exciting to record The Dimension Cannon and play the part again but it’s even more thrilling when the fans learn about it, listen to it and then discuss it with me when I meet them at conventions. It doesn’t feel over. Rose Tyler has more life in her yet.”
Producer Emily Cook added: “While The Dimension Cannon – Other Worlds followed pretty much the same format as the first volume (i.e. each episode took Rose and co. to a different parallel Earth), we wanted to mix things up with volume three and do something a little different. We ended Other Worlds on a cliffhanger – what happened to Rose? – and in Trapped we pick up straight after that.
“Wherever Rose went she’s now trapped there for the duration of this series… and this reality is stranger and more dangerous than anywhere she’s been before. This series is essentially Rose’s quest to get herself back so she can find the Doctor.”
Cook elaborated: “As is always the case with Big Finish productions, it was a joy to work on this box set. It’s a great privilege to be creating stories which edge Rose ever closer to the events of Turn Left and The Stolen Earth (TV stories I adore).
“It was interesting, too, to see how far we could push Rose as a character by placing her on an Earth where she’s totally alone.
“That said, she meets Danni and forms a bond with them – that was a wonderful relationship to explore and is essentially the heart of the series. We also play with some brilliant sci-fi ideas including entropy and Anti-Life.”
