DOCTOR Who’s David Tennant and Tom Baker are to reunite to take on the Daleks in a new battle.
The two actors are set to star in a new story taking on the Time Lord’s famous foe from audio-drama studio Big Finish.
Doctor Who: Out of Time will follow the Fourth Doctor – played by Tom – and the Tenth Doctor – played by David – as they join forces against the Daleks.
Whovians have been promised the story is ‘the first of an explosive new full-cast audio drama series.’
Tom, 86, originally played the Doctor from 1974 until 1981, while David, 49, took over the TARDIS from 2005 to 2010.
Speaking about his return to the iconic role and working with Tom, 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.
“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 new story 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!”
The first episode of Doctor Who: Out Of Time will premiere in August 2020.
