Invaders from Mars by Mark Gatiss
Manhattan 1938. The Doctor and Charley discover that Orson Welles's broadcast of War of the Worlds might not have been fiction after all.

I learned about the 8th Dr. Who audio adventures just before the holidays. As one of my self Christmas treats I therefore ordered a bunch of Dr. Who audio adventures. I really liked the first story and the one with the Cybermen was outstanding. The other two were moderate to OK. As a bonus, it has a cd that has commentary from the creaters and actors/actresses. Plus, it has previews from the other seasons. As far as I know, those seasons are only downloadable. If you made them into cds, here's one fan who would order them. Especially since they've been hinting that Charlies, the Dr.'s new companion, might not be what she seams.

There are multiple people voicing the many characters in these rich, classic Dr Who adventures. Almost as good as as the new ones.
