The Mists of Time was an audio drama in Big Finish Productions' The Companion Chronicles series. It was initially a digital download exclusively offered to readers of DWM 411, but was later released as part of the The Companion Chronicles: The Specials box set.
Publisher's summary
Many years ago, when she was travelling with the Doctor, Jo Grant visited Zayin Eight. Now, suddenly and inexplicably, she is back on that ravaged planet, and reunited with a human called Newton Calder. What happened to the missing members of Calder's team? What is the secret of the vast ruined city? The answers will lie in the dark and distant past of the Time Lords themselves...

- The story was originally a two-part story and presented this way in the original download version. When the story was made commercially available as part of The Companion Chronicles: The Specials box set in August 2011, it was re-edited as a single, feature-length story, possibly due to the story's length.
