For The Love Of StoriesBig Finish produce fantastic full-cast audio dramas for CD and download.

The Doctor and Jo Jones arrive at 'Always', a Victorian manor house perched impossibly on the distant storm-world of Nethara Reach.

Greeted by the peculiar Pepperdines, a couple frantic with worry about their ailing daughter, they discover terrible secrets hiding within the panelled walls and gruesome oil paintings.

Secrets that will bring the Doctor face to face with one of his most ancient and implacable enemies, and put his relationship with Jo to the ultimate test.

Recorded on: 18-19 and 22 April 2024
Recorded at: The Soundhouse

 

Producer Heather Challands said: "This production has me very excited. Not only do we have the return of Katy Manning as the amazing Jo Jones alongside Tim as the Doctor, but we also have the Mondasian Cybermen.

"Stewart and Lauren have written a terrifying, gothic script that goes from a Victorian House on an alien wasteland to the depths of Mondas. The Doctor and Jo come across the Pepperdine family, who are hiding quite a few secrets, but even they don't know the true extent of the danger they are in."

Actor Tim Treloar said: "It's always great fun to be back doing a Third Doctor story, and this a brilliant one - very ethereal and atmospheric. It's something new for the Third Doctor Adventures to have the Doctor and Jo outnumbered by a family unit, and the Cybermen are my favourite Doctor Who baddie."

His co-star Katy Manning added: "Tim and I had a wonderful time together in this very different story, with a lovely script by two writers I haven't worked with before. There are a lot of very strange goings on for Jo in this, but she's a tough little cookie! It was really quite incredible to perform.

"From the second I met Tim, I had that same kind of rapport that I got when I first met Jon. What Tim's brought to it is not just an impersonation - he's doing a very good Jon Pertwee, but there's also that camaraderie, that naughty giggly thing, and that's what comes across to people listening."

Reviews

This is an ambitious Cybermen tale which treads new territory... maintaining the spirit of Classic Who while injecting the energy and scale of New Who adventures. A great celebration of the Cybermen, both in the way they are represented in the Classic Series and the New Series, with a sprinkling of Big Finish for variety.
