In this four-hour saga, Winston relates a number of encounters with
the Ninth, Tenth and Eleventh Doctors in his memoirs, battling
alien incursions, metamorphosing creatures...and a Dalek! 1.THE
ONCOMING STORM by Phil Mulryne. Late 1939. Britain faces the might
of Germany. Winston Churchill serves as First Lord of the
Admiralty. But Churchill soon finds himself facing a more immediate
threat than the looming Nazi menace. A 'Stone' with the most
mysterious properties is discovered in the Thames' sands, and soon
oddly spoken soldiers are creeping round London ruthlessly trying
to acquire it. Who are they? Can Churchill and his new secretary
Hetty Warner defeat them? And what about the man in the battered
leather jacket that Hetty meets? Churchill feels sure they can rely
on the Doctor to help them! Except that this Doctor seems to want
to stay hidden in the shadows...2. HOUNDED by Alan Barnes. In the
dark days of 1941, Britain is in the midst of war. Churchill must
stand strong against the might of the enemy - but he is plagued by
a darkness in his own psyche. Something he calls 'the Black Dog'.
Can a visiting Swami hold the answer to his troubles? And can Hetty
Warner prevent the Prime Minister's adversaries from taking
advantage of the situation? Across London, the Tenth Doctor's
arrival may be the nation's only hope - but the Time Lord's plan to
help his friend is endangered when he finds himself declared a
traitor by the agents of the country he has come to protect...3.
LIVING HISTORY by Justin Richards. Finally given the chance to
travel in the TARDIS, Winston Churchill cannot resist the
opportunity of meeting Julius Caesar. But the trip does not go
quite as planned. With the TARDIS gone, and Churchill stranded in
ancient Britain with a young man he barely knows and who comes from
the future, it seems things can hardly get any worse. Until he is
captured by the invading Romans. Still, at least that means
Churchill will meet Julius Caesar after all. But then Churchill
learns of the Bronze God, feared and worshipped by the Ancient
Britons. A god that he recognises as anything but divine when he
meets it. 4. THE CHARTWELL METAMORPHOSIS by Ken Bentley.
Comfortably retired to his home at Chartwell, Churchill plans to
live out his days in peace, in the company of his butterflies - if
his attendants would just leave him alone. But it isn't simply
Lepidoptera breeding in the gardens, as a far more sinister species
is about to emerge from its cocoon - and is ready to feast on
something more than just the shrubberies. Surrounded on all sides,
the former Prime Minister must put a life's worth of experience
into action in order to win the day. Can his new nurse Lily Arwell
offer her assistance? Winston Churchill first encountered the
Doctor on TV in Victory of the Daleks, the two men clearly old
friends who had shared past adventures - now Big Finish get to show
those moments! Ian McNeice reprises his Churchill role from TV's
Doctor Who, but he's also very familiar from roles in such shows as
Doc Martin, Children of Dune, and Stay Lucky. Danny Horn and Holly
Earl return to previous Doctor Who roles, that of Kazran Sardick
and Lily Arwell from two highly rated Doctor Who Christmas
specials. CAST: Ian McNeice (Winston Churchill), Danny Horn (Kazran
Sardick), Holly Earl (Lily Arwell), Emily Atack (Hetty Warner),
Michael Gould (Frederick Lindemann), Derek Riddell (Lt-Commander
Sandy McNish), Phil Mulryne (Able Seaman Phillips), Jo
Stone-Fewings (Major Wheatley), Amerjit Deu (The Swami), Stewart
Scudamore (Danvers), Alistair Petrie (Julius Caesar), Laura Rogers
(Queen Tristahna), John Banks (Mr Rogers) and Nicholas Briggs (The
Dalek).
