Though the six series has come to an end, Doctor Who fans will be able to join the Doctor and friends for a new computer game adventure later this month.

The latest Doctor Who Adventure Game takes the Time Lord and companions Rory and Amy to one the important and memorable moments in British history – the Gunpowder Plot.

Joining series stars Matt Smith, Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill are Ralf Little as Guy Fawkes, Phil Daniels as Town Crier and Emilia Fox as the 14th Plotter.

Commissioned by Victoria Jaye, Head of IPTV and TV Online Content, the game has been written by Phil Ford and executive produced by Steven Moffat.

It is being developed by independent UK game development studio Sumo Digital Ltd.

Jaye says: “We’re always looking at ways to bring Doctor Who stories to life for the audience beyond broadcast television, seizing the creative potential of digital platforms to delight fans with new ways to engage with characters and story worlds.”

The Gunpowder Plot will be available as free download from the Doctor Who website from 31 October for UK PC and Mac users.

Doctor Who series 6 can be pre-ordered on Blu-ray and DVD from Amazon.co.uk
