Earlier this month, Big Finish released Doctor Who: We Are the Daleks, the first in a  brand new trilogy of adventures for the Seventh Doctor and Mel. This short podcast visits the studio to discuss the background to this fantastic new adventure.

The year is 1987, and Britain is divided. In Bradford, strikers are picketing and clashing with the police. In the City of London, stockbrokers are drinking champagne and politicians are courting the super-rich. The mysterious media mogul Alek Zenos, head of the Zenos Corporation, is offering Britain an economic miracle. His partners wish to invest – and their terms are too good to refuse.

While the Doctor investigates Warfleet, a new computer game craze that is sweeping the nation, Mel goes undercover to find out the truth about Zenos’s partners.

The Daleks have a new paradigm. They intend to conquer the universe using economic power. The power of the free market!

The Doctor and Mel's adventures continue in August with Doctor Who: The Warehouse.
