The Fifth Doctor meets up with his distant past: the schoolteacher who settled down, the space pilot who became a King, the security agent who died and lived again and the swinging Sixties secretary who has made her own way in the world.

Big Finish’s creative director and resident Dalek voice Nicholas Briggs said: "David Richardson came up with the idea of this one, as we were looking to find something special for our most loyal listeners. David had got to know all the companion actors really well while producing the Companion Chronicles, so he very cleverly persuaded them all to take part in this beautifully crazy story.
"“I say crazy, but it really works. It always does, when Eddie Robson is writing. One of Eddie's many talents is that he can make the utterly preposterous seem perfectly reasonable. And that’s what I loved about this. It’s a blatant excuse for a get-together, but it all works perfectly and is simply a ripping good yarn! And those were delightful studio days."
