The Whispering Forest was the one hundred and thirty-seventh monthly Doctor Who audio story produced by Big Finish Productions. It was the second Big Finish audio story in the 2010 Fifth Doctor season. It continued a series of stories starring Peter Davison, Sarah Sutton, Janet Fielding and Mark Strickson, who were reunited as a TARDIS team for their first new Doctor Who stories since 1983.
Publisher's summary
The TARDIS arrives in alien woodlands, where a small group of humans hold tight against the the menace of the Takers — strange creatures who come by night to spirit away members of their settlement.
But if there’s one thing that the inhabitants of Purity Bay fear more than the Takers, it’s the dirt and disease spread by strangers. Strangers like the Doctor, Tegan, Turlough and Nyssa...
The fanatical Sister Mertil and her hygiene-obsessed acolytes are victims of a terrible corruption — but not in the way they think. Only the whispering forest knows the truth…
