Morbius has been brought back to life on the Isle of the Dead. But a desperate Captain Argento has called for help and received an unlikely ally. Here is a stranger who knows the tyrant of old and is the only one who can put his plans on ice. But perhaps even The Doctor cannot stop the threat of Dark Gallifrey…
Samuel West and Tom Baker face off in the final part of Dark Gallifrey Morbius, released today from Big Finish Productions.
Can the Fourth Doctor stop Morbius?
The first trilogy in the epic audio drama event series Dark Gallifrey focuses on Morbius (Samuel West), the Time Lord tyrant of old. He was defeated in a devastating war, but after haunting the crew of the Gallifreyan ship Proteus, he’s on the rise once again.
In the third and final instalment, Morbius has been brought back from the dead and is determined to return to power across time and space and wreak revenge on those who fought against him. It’s up to Captain Argento (Rachel Atkins) to stop his plans, but she’s got some help in the form of the Doctor (Tom Baker).
So, a rematch is on the cards – Morbius first appeared in the 1976 Doctor Who TV story The Brain of Morbius, during which Baker’s Fourth Doctor foiled a very different attempt to resurrect the former dictator.
This time, with Morbius having a devout cult on his side and the threat of Dark Gallifrey looming, The Doctor has his work cut out for him.
Dark Gallifrey Morbius – Part Three is now available to own for just £10.99 (collector’s edition CD + download) or £8.99 (download only).

Writer Tim Foley said: “Dark Gallifrey Morbius was always going to have an appearance from The Doctor and I was absolutely delighted that Tom Baker was up for facing Morbius again. He’s not The Doctor that we know, not quite, but he’s ready and willing to take on one of the biggest enemies that Gallifrey has ever seen.”
