Run was the third and final story in the audio anthology Travel in Hope, produced by Big Finish Productions. It was written by Robert Valentine and featured Christopher Eccleston as the Ninth Doctor and Jane Goddard as Alpha Centauri.

Publisher's summary

When heinous demagogue Bellatrix Vega threatens the stability of the Galactic Federation, the Doctor convinces newly elected representative Alpha Centauri to run against her for president.

As Vega’s team mount a campaign of dirty tricks, the Doctor and Alpha must thwart a murderous conspiracy or see the galaxy’s greatest democracy become a brutal dictatorship.

Plot

Cast

Worldbuilding

  • Just as Alpha Centauri is the representative of the planet Alpha Centauri, Tau Ceti is the representative of the Tau Ceti system.
    • It is claimed by Alpha Centauri that their name is common on their homeworld.
  • Whilst conversing with a figure in the shadows who seems to disappear without a trace, the Doctor compares the shady figure to Batman.

Notes

  • The cover art shows an Ice Queen, a class of Ice Warrior leader introduced in Empress of Mars, however, none is present in the audio. This is probably a misunderstanding between Ice Queen and Ice Lord.
  • Robert Valentine explained that the Ninth Doctor referring to Alpha Centauri as "A.C." is a reference to the real world United States representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as "A.O.C."[1]
