Pest Control was released on CD on 8 May 2008[1] and is also available for download.[2]

The story is accompanied by an original soundtrack and sound effects created by Simon Hunt.[2]

Plot

The Doctor and Donna land on the distant planet of Rescension and find themselves caught in a war between humans and the centaur-like Aquabi. When a far greater threat emerges, the Doctor must convince the two sides to work together before they are all wiped out.
