Return of the Daleksfor other, similarly-named pages.
Return of the Daleks was the fifth Doctor Who subscriber special CD released by Big Finish Productions. It was written by Nicholas Briggs and featured Sylvester McCoy as the Seventh Doctor and Gareth Thomas as Kalendorf.
Publisher's summary[[edit] | [edit source]]
No one could ever know. We had to erase the past. Change everything. Start again.
But even though it's been centuries now... In our hearts, none of us feels truly...
Safe. I think, even if our people were to survive until the end of time itself, we would still fear... The return of the Daleks.

- After the 2019 redesign of the Big Finish website, this release was added to The Seventh Doctor Adventures.
