Revision as of 13:26, 10 January 2024
The Battle of Giant's Causeway was the first story in Sontarans vs Rutans, produced by Big Finish Productions. It was written by Lizzie Hopley and featured Paul McGann as the Eighth Doctor, India Fisher as Charley Pollard and Conrad Westmaas as C'rizz.
It was released in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Sontarans and the first mention of Rutans.
Publisher's summary
The war between the Sontarans and the Rutans has been going on for Millennia. And is likely to continue for millennia more.
A terrible conflict with no care for consequences or collateral damage. Billions have died with no end in sight. Its reach can encompass ancient Ireland and a forest world in the far future.
A temporal tidal wave leads the Doctor, Charley and C'rizz to the Giant's Causeway, Ireland 55BC, where the TARDIS drains of power and they encounter Sontarans who believe they’re Roman Legionnaires. What has caused this and what is the strange secret in the rocks?
Plot
The TARDIS is pulled out of the Time Vortex by a temporal tidal wave and lands, dead or deliberately shut down to protect the Eye of Harmony, at the Giant's Causeway in Ireland, 55 BC. The Doctor, Charley and C'rizz head out in search of what has drained the TARDIS's power and find piles of Sontaran corpses dressed in the armour of Roman legionnaires with no obvious cause of death, indicating that the Celts are not responsible. C'rizz wanders off when he sees the injured Noorie watching them and assures her that he will not hurt her, but she is more concerned about the Sontarans approaching on horses.
A Sontaran introducing himself as General Ignatius Antias Salutio of the 14th Legion of Rome condemns the Doctor and Charley to death, but Charley pleads that they can help investigate the deaths of the Sontarans and Ignatius instead has them strapped to a mule to be taken to await Commander Caecilius Crassus Procullus's judgement. Noorie keeps C'rizz from trying to rescue them for his own sake and declares that it is her job to protect him as she believes him to be a man risen from the ocean to punish Valmoira, who has been returning the dead to life.
