The Mummy Speaks! was the first story in the audio anthology Charlotte Pollard: The Further Adventuress, produced by Big Finish Productions. It was written by Alan Barnes and featured Paul McGann as the Eighth Doctor and India Fisher as Charlotte Pollard.
Publisher's summary[[edit] | [edit source]]
The Carnaval de Paris, 1841. Amid the sideshow tents, the Doctor and Charley discover something truly novel: an Ancient Egyptian mummy that speaks - despite being dead for more than 4,000 years!
But what the mummy has to say translates into terror for the TARDIS twosome... and proclaims doom for the entire world.
