Toby Welliver is a professional fan and expert on cult television,
as well as author of 12 little-read biographies about obscure TV
celebrities and host of the podcast ‘The First Cult is the
Deepest’. He’s also beginning to realise he was late to the
party, and the glory days he treasures are already history. Invited
to contribute to a ‘Then and Now’ documentary being filmed in
the same location as the show all those years ago, Toby gathers
with cast and crew from the show, all gathering for another
paycheck on their past triumphs. And as Toby enters a world of
hatchets far from buried, internecine warfare and virulent grudges
his research into the show uncovers the unexplained death of a
young woman during filming. Only 5 people were present at her
death, all of them with Toby. And there’s only 3 days of filming
left… Hell hath no fury like a nerd scorned - expect top-drawer
farce, dead pan gags and the finest puns known to mankind.
Earth - a small, insignificant planet. Entirely devoid of
intelligent life. At least that's according to the legal documents.
The Doctor, Romana and K9 find themselves at the centre of a most
unusual trial. An intergalactic corporation wants to bulldoze the
planet for a development project. Only a previous court's
preservation document is standing in their way. The Doctor has been
summoned as an expert witness. If he can prove Earth contains
intelligent life, the whole world will be saved. But with a fortune
at stake... it was never going to be that simple. Cast: Tom Baker
(The Doctor), Lalla Ward (Romana), John Leeson (K9), Julian Wadham
(Judge Perigord Trent), Spencer Banks (Kovaks), Nicholas Briggs
(Foreman of the Lost Jury), Richard Laing (Skorpios/Lieson
Tilpractive-Frong/Geoff), Christopher Naylor (Villager), Paul
Panting (Smilax), Jane Slavin (Clerk), Jeany Spark
(Tragacanth/Cham’Yal). Other parts played by members of the cast.
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
the cast.

Nicola Bryant reads a brand new story featuring the Sixth Doctor
and Peri, set in the far future. The TARDIS lands aboard the Sun
God, a vast spaceship carrying executives from a powerful 35th
Century energy company. Peri is menaced by deadly cat-like robots,
whilst the Doctor discovers that Spalding Revere, the company's
founder, has set the ship on course for the heart of a sun.
Spalding's last wish is to take his acolytes with him to the
afterlife, and unless the Doctor can intervene he and Peri will be
going with them. Tensions and in-fighting grow among the staff.
Peri meets Brian, whose half-man/half-insect body has a terrible
significance to Spalding's plan. As the Sun God continues on its
final mission, time is running out for them all... Nicola Bryant,
who played Peri in the TV series, reads this original adventure by
Nev Fountain, featuring the Sixth Doctor as played on TV by Colin
Baker. Reading produced by Neil Gardner Sound design by David
