In 2014, Big Finish started a new range of Doctor Who stories, bringing back original cast members from the 1960s eras in order to tell new stories: they're audio tales in black and white! When the TARDIS lands in a house in Florence, Italy in 1514, it isn't long before the guards of Guiliano de Medici arrest Steven and Vicki. To rescue them, the Doctor has to employ the help of the house's owner - one Niccolo Machiavelli. But can he be completely trusted? Guiliano confesses to his brother Pope Leo X that he has angered the wealthy family of Ravelli and believes the newcomers may be part of an assassination plot. But when the Doctor arrives an already tricky situation starts to spiral out of control. As the city rings with plot and counter-plot, betrayal and lies abound. The Doctor and his friends must use all their ingenuity if they're not to be swept away by history. This conspiracy is about to get complicated. This range of era-authentic new stories has been hugely popular with fans, with a further two series already commissioned!Peter Purves is known to generations as one of the all-time great Blue Peter presenters, but this came after an acting career which he's returning to here to play both the Doctor and 1960s companion Steven Taylor.

Most children, especially children on the autism spectrum, accept adults' friendliness at face value. Sometimes it can have tragic consequences. Written by a Deputy Sheriff, this book is credited with foiling at least 22 stranger abductions. Characters Bobby and Mandee explain stranger danger in a way that is accessible, but not frightening, for children. Read it to your child and role-play different scenarios. Create a password only you and your child know, label backpacks on the inside (so strangers won't know your name). Strangers can be men or women, old or young. Adults should not touch, give gifts to, or ask for help from children. If they do, don't keep it a secret! Tell an adult! Arm your child with the knowledge that may save his or her life.

Bullies, Beware! This little book is going to have a big impact! In this moral-driven story, Mandee tells big brother Bobby how a bully took all her money. Bobby stresses that she needs adult help, and explains what to do if it happens again. Don't argue; just walk or run away; tell a trusted adult, or call 911. If the adult doesn't believe you, tell another adult until you find someone who understands. There is a quiz at the back of the book that helps the reader remember what to do, and there's a place to write the phone numbers of 'safe grown-ups' to call.

Educate, before it’s too late!In this moral-driven tale, Bobby explains to Mandee that some secrets should not be kept—especially those that threaten a friend's safety. Bobby explains to Mandee the concept of ""abuse"" and then tells a very sad story—of a boy who did not tell a trusted adult about his friend's abuse and what happened as a result. Mandee replies with a story of her own, about her friend at school. Together, Bobby and Mandee decide to go to Dad and ask for his advice on how to help Mandee's friend.
