Project: Destiny was the one-hundred-and-thirty-ninth monthly Doctor Who audio story produced by Big Finish Productions. It was a direct sequel, leading directly on from June 2009's The Angel of Scutari, the last Seventh Doctor story featuring Philip Olivier as Hex and Sophie Aldred as Ace. It was also the third in the "Project:" series of audio stories Project: Twilight (which featured the Sixth Doctor) and Project: Lazarus (which featured the Sixth and Seventh Doctors).

Notes

Continuity

  • The events of AUDIO: Project: Lazarus (to which this story serves as a sequel) are in the past but are in the Doctor's personal future. Nimrod informs the Doctor that he was present at the destruction of the Forge's alpha facility in 2008. The Doctor attempts to prevent Nimrod from telling him too much about his personal future so as not to disrupt the Web of Time.
  • The Seal of Rassilon is displayed above the inner doors of the TARDIS as is seen in TV: Doctor Who, confirming that the console room now looks as it did in the TVM.
  • The Fourth Doctor previously visited London on 30 January 2025 in the company of Leela. On that occasion, he encountered the Daleks. (AUDIO: Energy of the Daleks)
  • The Forge's files on Hex state that he was present during the Charnage Hospital incident in the north of France during World War I in 1917. (AUDIO: No Man's Land)
  • Ace mentions that on their previous visit to St. Gart's Brookside Hospital, when the Doctor mentions her fire safety training, that she was the one in Human Resources and he was the caretaker, so there was no need to quote the book at her. (AUDIO: The Harvest)
  • UNIT had records of Ace's involvement in this incident. (AUDIO: Signs and Wonders)
