Doctor Who - Audio Details

When the evil Skelloids launch an attack upon the seventeen worlds of the Generios system, its peace-loving inhabitants face total destruction.

So its lucky that the Doctor, that famous traveller in time and space, is in the area, and that he, along with his pretty young assistant, Sally-Anne, manages to defeat the deadly creatures and save the day.

But now it looks as though the Doctor's luck has run out.

Who is the mysterious, curly haired stranger, intent on causing trouble?  What role does the feisty redhead Melanie play in his sceme?  And what have they to do with the sinister alien cylinder approaching Generios?

One thing is certain: for the Doctor and Sally-Anne, there's deadly danger ahead...

We first found the cudes during the short, wet summer of 2000, whilst playing pontoon in Garth's back yard.  Four small, white cubes nestling inconspicuously under a shrub.  We tried to throw them away but, mysteriously, they kept turning back up again.  Eventually, sick to death of them, we brought them indoors and, quite my chance, placed them near Garth's computer.  We were understandably surprised when, a moment later, the script for the very play you are about to hear hear flashed up on the VDU before our astonished eyes.  Then, their work done and their story told, the cubes faded away, leaving only the phone number of Big Finish Productions behind.  Well, we could hardly pass up an opportunity like that, could we?  So we did a quick spell check, stuck our names at the top, packed the script off in a jiffy bag and waited.

Now, a mere sixteen months later, and thanks to the sterling work of Big Finish, you (and we) can finally hear the tale that those strange cubes had to tell.  What astounding revelations lie ahead?  Fragments of frozen time from the edge of a black hole?  Or Christopher Biggins and Bonnie Langford putting up some shelves?  Settle down, switch on and all will become clear...
