Four new stories featuring the Sixth Doctor and Peri Brown: 1.1 The
Headless Ones by James Parsons and Andrew Stirling-Brown. When a
distress call from an unknown source threatens to rip the TARDIS
from the vortex, the Doctor and Peri arrive in nineteenth-century
Africa hoping to find the cause of the disturbance. Instead, they
meet a British expedition searching for a long lost tribe: the
B’lemyae… better known to the locals as the Headless Ones. 1.2
Like by Jacqueline Rayner. On the Earth colony world Rusina, the
populace strive to be popular. Likes lead to promotions, dislikes
leads to demotion – and more recently, something worse. So when
the Doctor investigates the truth behind their subscriber-led
society, he finds himself about to become very unpopular indeed.
1.3 The Vanity Trap by Stuart Manning. Myrna Kendal used to be a
Hollywood film star. Now she spends her life reminiscing on chat
shows but there is always one unfinished film she refuses to talk
about... at least until the TARDIS interrupts a TV interview, and
the Doctor and Peri’s appearance stirs up long-forgotten
memories. 1.4 Conflict Theory by Nev Fountain. Concerned by the
Doctor’s increasing over-protectiveness, Peri presents him with
an ultimatum: either they seek counselling or she leaves the TARDIS
permanently. Reluctant to lose one of his closest friends, the
Doctor seeks out one of the finest psychoanalysts in the universe:
Dr Sigmund Freud. Cast: Colin Baker (The Doctor), Nicola Bryant
(Peri Brown), Vivienne Acheampong (Siyanda), Rachel Atkins
(Governor Crompton), Rosie Baker (Carolyn Sue), Timothy Blore
(Sandis-Fernis), Stephen Critchlow (Jimmy Garfield), Amelia Donkor
(Hoffman), Sarah Douglas (Myrna Kendal), Ryan Forde Iosco (Dr
Karp), Raj Ghatak (The Complex), Eilidh Loan (Marconi), Deirdre
Mullins (Amanda Latimer), George Naylor (Dodo), Javone Prince
(Kaylin), Lucy Robinson (Christie), David Sibley (Dr Freud), Hugh
Skinner (Lord Oliver Erpingham). Other parts played by members of

London,1864 - where any gentleman befitting the title 'gentleman'
belongs to a gentlemen's club: The Reform, The Athenaeum, The
Carlton, The Garrick...and, of course, The Contingency. Newly
established in St James', The Contingency become the most exclusive
enclave in town. A refuge for men of politics, men of science, men
of letters. A place to escape. A place to think. A place to be
free. The first rule of the Contingency is to behave like a
gentleman. The second is to pay no heed to its oddly identical
servants. Or to the horror in its cellars. Or to the existence of
the secret gallery on its upper floor...Rules that the Doctor,
Adric, Nyssa and Tegan are all about to break. The Contingency Club
reunites the 1982 Doctor Who TARDIS crew for Peter Davison's Fifth
Doctor - Adric (Matthew Waterhouse), Tegan (Janet Fielding) and
Nyssa (Sarah Sutton). Director Barnaby Edwards is not only an
overworked director for Big Finish productions, but on top of many
audiobook voice-over duties, he's also the main Dalek operator in
TV's Doctor Who. Clive Merrison's rich voice brought the longest
lived radio Sherlock Holmes to life, playing the Great Detective
across recordings of every single Sir Arthur Conan Doyle story.
Guest star Philip Jackson will be familiar to any fans of top TV
detective drama as Inspector Japp in the David Suchet Poirot
dramas. CAST: Peter Davison (The Doctor), Matthew Waterhouse
(Adric), Sarah Sutton (Nyssa), Janet Fielding (Tegan), Clive
Merrison (George Augustus), Philip Jackson (Mr Peabody), Lorelei
King (The Red Queen), Tim Bentinck (Wakefield/ Cabby/Stonegood),
Alison Thea-Skot (Marjorie Stonegood/ Computer), Olly McCauley
(Edward/ The Knave).

Full-cast adaptations of Callan stories originally published in the
Sunday Express. Adapted from series creator James Mitchell's Sunday
Express Short Stories by his son Peter Mitchell, four new
adventures will expand the themes explored in the television show.
Murder, betrayal and model soldiers. It's all in a day's work for
Callan. 1.1 File on a Deadly Deadshot by James Mitchell (adapted by
Peter Mitchell). With Lonely posing as his gentleman's gentleman,
the section's top operative David Callan is sent to a country
estate in Northumberland to infiltrate a rich men's shooting party.
One of his companions is an assassin but which one? High living and
high stakes on the grouse moors as Callan attempts to work out
which of the dead-shots is a man-hunter.1.2 File on a Classy Club
by James Mitchell. (adapted by Peter Mitchell). Callan finds the
odds are stacked against him when he poses as a high roller at
London's top casino. His mission is to lose all his money but he
almost loses his life when he stumbles into an East German spy
cell. Perhaps a card sharp from Lonely's past can help Callan turn
the tables. 1.3 File on an Awesome Amateur by James Mitchell
(adapted by Peter Mitchell). Callan and Meres are despatched to a
cultural festival in Venice to snatch a Russian poet from under the
noses of the KGB. But the success of the mission depends upon the
expertise of amateur sleuth and keen ornithologist Cynthia Widgery.
Feathers fly on the Grand Canal... 1.4 File on a Harassed Hunter by
James Mitchell (adapted by Peter Mitchell). Callan is drawn into a
dark secret when Hunter invites him to fly to Newcastle for a trip
to the theatre. The plot thickens when an alcoholic actor and a
decoy called Prenderghast lead Callan to one of the KGB's most
proficient killers. The setting for the denouement is far too close
for comfort.The classic television series from the Sixties returns
with a star-studded cast, in brand new audio adaptations from Big
Finish Productions. Originally broadcast in 1967,Callan took the
burgeoning world of spy drama, and brought a much darker tone to
the genre. Having similar responsibilities to MI5, Callan used the
most ruthless and lethal techniques to get the job done, each
method meticulously filed by `The Section' (the organisation behind
operative Callan), colour coding each lethal tactic. Four series of
the original television series were produced between 1967 and 1972,
plus a cinema film released in 1974 and a TV comeback in 1981. And
now, Callan is set to return on audio at Big Finish adapted from
series creator James Mitchell's Telegraph Short Stories by his son
Peter Mitchell. CAST: Ben Miles (Callan), Frank Skinner (Lonely),
Nicholas Briggs (Hunter), Jane Slavin (Liz), David Rintoul
(Baumer), Justin Avoth (Endicott), Glen McReady (Minns), Louis
Tamone (Lorimer / Waiter), Tam Williams (Toby Meres), Mark Elstob
(Karl / Judd / Willis), Robert Portal (Bulky Berkeley / Lubov),
Annabelle Dowler (Amparo Soller / Barbara Jackson), Gyuri Sarossy
(Marty Rivers), Beth Goddard (Cynthia Widgery / Auntie Gertie /
Adrienn),Teddy Kempner (Evan Lang / Joe 'Plastic' MacNamara),
Leighton Pugh (Petrov).

Doctor), Janet Fielding (Tegan), Louise Jameson (Leela).
What if you’d committed a truly dreadful crime but couldn’t
remember? The Doctor takes Peri to the Memory Farm – a state of
the art space station where hidden memories can be harvested and
analysed. To their surprise, they find the station in lock-down and
all its resources dedicated to probing the memories of an elderly
man. Garius Moro may, or may not, have been responsible for the
deaths of billions of people many years ago, but he simply can’t
remember. The assembled representatives of two opposing factions,
each with their own agenda, anxiously wait for the truth to be
unlocked from Moro’s mind. But when a memory does eventually
surface, everyone is surprised to learn that it is of Peri. CAST:
Colin Baker (The Doctor), Nicola Bryant (Peri), Joseph Mydell
(Garius Moro), Diane Keen (Varish), Charlotte Strevens (Naras),
Caleb Frederick (Offram), Sean Connolly (Kennedy), Steven Wickham
