In 2014, Big Finish started a new range of Doctor Who stories,
bringing back original cast members from the 1960s eras in order to
tell new stories: they're audio tales in black and white! When the
TARDIS lands in a house in Florence, Italy in 1514, it isn't long
before the guards of Guiliano de Medici arrest Steven and Vicki. To
rescue them, the Doctor has to employ the help of the house's owner
- one Niccolo Machiavelli. But can he be completely trusted?
Guiliano confesses to his brother Pope Leo X that he has angered
the wealthy family of Ravelli and believes the newcomers may be
part of an assassination plot. But when the Doctor arrives an
already tricky situation starts to spiral out of control. As the
city rings with plot and counter-plot, betrayal and lies abound.
The Doctor and his friends must use all their ingenuity if they're
not to be swept away by history. This conspiracy is about to get
complicated. This range of era-authentic new stories has been
hugely popular with fans, with a further two series already
commissioned! Peter Purves is known to generations as one of the
all-time great Blue Peter presenters, but this came after an acting
career which he's returning to here to play both the Doctor and
1960s companion Steven Taylor. Maureen O'Brien - 1960s Doctor Who
companion Vicki - is also a novelist whose works include Mask of
Betrayal (1998), Every Step You Take (2004) and Deadly Reflection
(2007). Guest star Olivia Poulet is well known for her role as Emma
Messinger in The Thick of It. She's also recently played Emma Peel
in Big Finish's revival of The Avengers - Steed & Mrs Peel.
CAST: Maureen O'Brien (Vicki), Peter Purves (Steven Taylor/The
Doctor/Narrator), Mark Frost (Niccolo Machiavelli), Jamie Ballard
(Guiliano de Medici), Robert Hands (Pope Leo X), Olivia Poulet
(Carla), Joe Bor (Guard Captain).

Peter Purves reads this original adventure featuring the First
Doctor, Steven and Sara, set in the First World War. "The Battle of
the Somme is the pivotal moment of this conflict... History hinges
on it!" It's the start of August 1916, and war is raging on the
battlefields of France. In the front line trenches, British
soldiers are vanishing without trace. Captain Mark Steadman
witnesses one of his comrades being pulled down beneath the mud,
and realises that something is terribly wrong. When three civilians
and a large blue box arrive on the scene, Steadman finds himself
helping in their enquiries. The Doctor declares that something has
gone wrong with the timeline of the War; the Battle of the Somme
should have already begun, yet there is no sign of it. He demands
an audience with Field Marshall Haig! A crater in no-man's land
reveals the grisly horror of the missing men's fate, and brings the
Doctor and his friends into terrible danger. There are forces at
work here which even he can't fully comprehend. Peter Purves, who
played Steven in the BBC TV series, reads this powerful new story
by Justin Richards.
Peter Purves reads John Lucarotti's novelisation of his classic
First Doctor TV adventure. The TARDIS lands in Paris on 19 August
1572. Driven by scientific curiosity, the Doctor goes to meet and
exchange views with the apothecary, Charles Preslin. Before he
disappears, he warns Steven to stay 'out of mischief, religion and
politics'. But in 16th Century Paris it is impossible to remain a
mere observer, and Steven soon finds himself involved with a group
of Huguenots. The Protestant minority of France is being threatened
by the Catholic hierarchy, and danger stalks the Paris streets. As
Steven tries to find his way back to the TARDIS he discovers that
one of the main persecutors of the Huguenots appears to be...the
Doctor! Peter Purves, who played Steven in the original BBC TV
series, reads this novelisation of a fondly remembered classic
story, the original episodes of which are lost from the BBC
archives.
Four new stories from across the First Doctor's era; 1. Fields of
Terror by John Pritchard. The TARDIS has brought the Doctor back to
Revolutionary France, a place that's always fascinated him. But
this time he, along with Steven and Vicki, are drawn into a
devastated land, caught between the soldiers who are burning all
before them and a monstrous shape that follows in their wake. 2.
Across the Darkened City by David Bartlett. On the planet Shade,
The Chaons, an invading race of strange, amorphous creatures that
ravenously absorb energy, have reduced the city there to a desolate
ruin. Separated from the Doctor and Vicki, Steven has to join
forces with an unexpected ally to find his way back to the TARDIS.
Ahead, lies a nightmare journey through the dark - a test of
endurance and trust. 3. The Bonfires of the Vanities by Una
McCormack. When the Doctor, Polly, and Ben arrive in Lewes in the
late 1950s, they're just in time to celebrate Guy Fawkes' Night.
But there's no fun on the streets tonight - the town is in the grip
of fear. There are imps on the loose in Lewes, the Bonfire Boys are
on the march, and nobody is safe from the fire. 4. The Plague of
Dreams by Guy Adams. "Pray welcome, one and all, to this, a fantasy
in two acts, presented, most humbly, for your pleasure. We bring
you drama and magic, angels and demons, a tale of mysterious
plague... of nightmares made flesh... of a war fought both in this
world and those immeasurably distant. A war, in fact, fought
through the mists of time itself. It will make you gasp! It will
make you weep! It may even make some of you wake-up..." CAST:
Maureen O'Brien (Vicki), Robert Hands (Lagrange), Peter Purves
(Steven Taylor), Anneke Wills (Polly), Elliot Chapman (Ben Jackson
/ The Player), Helen Goldwyn (The Chaons) and Nicholas Briggs as
the Daleks.
