Cass was a full cast audio anthology released on 18 January 2023 by Big Finish Productions. It was the fifth release in The Eighth Doctor: Time War audio series, which served as a prequel to The War Doctor audio series. It featured Paul McGann as the Eighth Doctor, Emma Campbell-Jones as Cass Fermazzi and Sonny McGann as Alex Campbell.
Publisher's summary
The Doctor and his great-grandson Alex are back travelling the universe together... but when that universe is in the grips of a Time War, the unexpected lurks round every corner...
5.1 Meanwhile, Elsewhere by Tim Foley
The Doctor and Alex arrive on a tropical beach where something's amiss.
Meanwhile, elsewhere... a desperate pilot runs for his life.
Meanwhile, elsewhere... it's Cass Fermazzi's first day on an errand-class starship.
Meanwhile, elsewhere... it's the beginning of the end of everything.
5.2 Vespertine by Lou Morgan
It's Cass's first trip in the TARDIS, and the Doctor is determined to make it one to remember. But when they arrive at a research base that shouldn't exist, built above a missing explorer's ship that should never have been found, it seems their visit's going to be memorable for all the wrong reasons.
Because deep beneath the ice, there's more than just a long-lost ship waiting for them...
5.3 Previously, Next Time by James Moran
Part One: The Doctor, Cass and Alex land to find out what's causing temporal anomalies with the TARDIS, and come across an uninhabited planet, a mysterious factory, and a weapon so dangerous, it could destroy the Universe. But things go catastrophically wrong…
Part Two: The factory has vanished along with the TARDIS, and the formerly uninhabited planet is now fully populated by people who have been here for thousands of years, people who have never heard of the Time War OR Daleks. Something very strange is going on with time itself - and it's running out, fast.
