I.D. was the ninety-fourth monthly Doctor Who audio release produced by Big Finish Productions. It is the first three part story since TV: The Two Doctors in 1985 for the Sixth Doctor. With this story begins a short period in Big Finish's production of monthly Doctor Who stories where several releases in 2007, 2008 and 2009 were released as a three part story and a one part story.

Publisher's summary

In the 32nd century, the Doctor finds himself on a planet piled high with discarded computer technology. Picking over these remains are an army of Scandroids, a collection of unsavoury, illegal Data Pirates and a team of researchers from the mysterious Lonway Clinic. This is a world of organic-digital transfer and 'personality surgery' which the Doctor finds disturbing enough, until something far more deadly starts to emerge.
