In March 2005 Big Finish Productions (makers of the Doctor Who audio dramas) released the audio version of The Adventures of Luther Arkwright which is based on the comic book series by Bryan Talbot. The audio adaptation of it was written by Mark Wright.
Wikipedia description:
"Luther Arkwright is a work of apocalyptic science fiction set in parallel universes. The eponymous hero has the unique talent of being able to move between parallels purely by force of will, and is aided by Rose Wylde, a telepath whose many incarnations across the parallels are able to communicate with one another."
Luther Arkwright is played by David Tennant and this was released a month before he was announced as the Tenth Doctor.
Also in the cast are Paul Darrow (Doctor Who guest star and Blake's 7 alum), Doctor Who companion actors India Fisher and Robert Jezek, and playing Rose is Siri O'Neal.
The presence of a Rose in Luther Arkwright meant that David Tennant got to play alongside a Rose before Billie Piper's Rose in Doctor Who.
The story is told across three discs.
Now to my personal opinion of the story - I didn't really like it, I barely got the gist of what was going on. It felt very underwhelming.
