Volume 3 of The Robots is due for release later this month. Nicola Walker and Claire Rushbrook star as the two Kaldorian sisters adapting to life alongside robots with rapidly advancing artificial intelligence. The regular cast for the series also includes veterans of the television story, The Robots of Death, Pamela Salem and the late David Collings (who recorded his contribution to the series shortly before his sad passing in March this year).  

Joining them are two people whose names will be familiar to television fans of the 1970s and 1980s. Firstly, Susan Penhaligon (Bouquet of Barbed Wire, A Fine Romance) takes on the role of Dorka, an eccentric resident of the Outlook Hotel where a murder is about to take place. And occupying the director’s chair for two of the three stories is none other than Louise Jameson (Tenko, Bergerac), who faced down the Voc Robots herself in the original 1977 serial.  

Louise Jameson said: “I think the scripts are beautifully written. They're so witty and fast-paced. They just zap along. Of course, this is a throwback to The Robots of Death, which was my second ever Doctor Who in 1977, so I've got a very, very clear image of these robots and how they behave, and how they can frighten you. I worked on that story a long, long, long, long time ago, so it's nice to have that little echo from the past. I never thought I'd be directing them, though!” 

The Robots volume 3 is available now at the special pre-order price of £19.99 as a collector’s edition CD box set or £16.99 as a download HERE!
