The Last Voyage was the sixth release in the BBC's exclusive audio range. It was written by Dan Abnett and performed by David Tennant. Released by BBC Audio as a part of their ongoing line of original, single-actor plays, it went on sale on 7 January 2010, a week after Tennant's final televised adventure was first broadcast.

Originally promoted as being the final exclusive-to-audio Tenth Doctor adventure — as, for example, in Doctor Who Magazine #417 — it was in fact followed by Tennant's true finalé, BBCR: Dead Air, in March 2010.

Publisher's summary

The TARDIS materialises on board the maiden voyage of a pioneering space cruiser, travelling from Earth to the planet Eternity. The Doctor has just started exploring the vehicle when there is a loud bang, a massive jolt and a flash of light. Soon he discovers that nearly all the passengers and crew have disappeared. Unless The Doctor and flight attendant Sugar MacAuley can take control and steer the ship, they could crash-land -- or stay in space forever!

Characters

• Tenth Doctor
• Sugar MacAuley

References

• The Doctor hears the unidentified alien race refer to him by his real name.
• The Doctor mentions that he's "travelling alone, for now".
• The story takes place around the time of the First Human Empire; at a time when much of The Earth was uninhabitable.

Notes

• Released nearly a week after the broadcast of DW: The End of Time, this is one of only a few of Tenth Doctor-related spin-off products scheduled for release after Matt Smith's debut as the Eleventh Doctor. Others include the Quick Reads novella Code of the Krillitanes, BBCR: Dead Air, and the ongoing comic book series from IDW Publishing.
• The story is also available as a download from the AudioGo website.
