The Sirens of Time Redux was a re-edited, re-scored and re-released edition of the first story in Big Finish's monthly range, The Sirens of Time [+]Loading...["The Sirens of Time (audio story)"], written by Nicholas Briggs and featuring Peter Davison as the Fifth Doctor, Colin Baker as the Sixth Doctor and Sylvester McCoy as the Seventh Doctor. It was released on 26 November 2024.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]

It was released in celebration of the 25th anniversary of Big Finish making Doctor Who audio dramas.[9][10]

The updated title refers to the literary term redux, which comes from the Latin reducere: "to bring back".

Publisher's summary

Gallifrey is in a state of crisis, facing destruction at the hands of an overwhelming enemy. And the Doctor is involved in three different incarnations - each caught up in a deadly adventure, scattered across time and space. The web of time is threatened - and someone wants the Doctor dead.

The three incarnations of the Doctor must join together to set time back on the right track - but in doing so, will they unleash a still greater threat?

Notes

Original production

  • In his synopsis for the original The Sirens of Time, Nicholas Briggs gave each episode a title: The Knight of Velyshaa, Ship of Destiny, Death of Wonder and Nexus Point/Curse of the Temperon. The overall title was inspired by the book The Sirens of Titan by Kurt Vonnegut.
  • The plot originally involved a War Lord from the television story The War Games [+]Loading...["The War Games (TV story)"].[18]
  • When the original audio story was made, Nicholas Briggs wanted to make it a Dalek story, but Big Finish had not yet secured the rights to use them at the time. Thus, they settled on a multi-Doctor story.[18]
  • The Sirens of Time was originally released on cassette and CD. Later the cassette version was replaced by a digital download. On 1 August 2013, Big Finish stopped repressing the CDs.[19] Only the download version remains available.[20]
  • The original The Sirens of Time was featured in the Archive Tease segment of the Big Finish Podcast on 28 October 2018. The segment included a 15-minute excerpt from the story, preceded by Nicholas Briggs recalling his work on it.[21]

Redux production and release

  • The Redux was announced on 8 June 2024[9][22] at Big Finish Day.[22] It features both a new sound design and incidental music score by Nicholas Briggs.[9][23][24]
  • Toby Hrycek-Robinson helped Briggs "rescue the original source material off ancient digital audio tapes," by "skilfully extract[ing] the material".[9]
  • All Editions include the original The Sirens of Time on download,[9][25] but only the Silver, Gold, and Platinum Editions include bonus tracks.[9]
    • The bonus tracks are comprised of newly-conducted audio interviews by Nicholas Briggs with Peter Davison, Colin Baker, Sylvester McCoy, Sarah Mowat, Jason Haigh-Ellery, and Gary Russell, intercut with segments from the original production of The Sirens of Time - one of which includes a brief anecdote from Maggie Stables[26] - and a music suite which consists of incidental music tracks, also from the original production.[24] The suite begins with a version of the Doctor Who theme from this production that Nicholas Briggs comments was "perhaps, best-forgotten".[24]
  • The Silver Edition was limited to 1000 copies and included the Redux on CD and download;[9][27] the Gold Edition was limited to 150 copies and also included the Redux on CD and download, with a Limited Edition Cassette tape;[9][28] and the Platinum Edition was limited to 100 copies, with the Redux on CD, download, the Cassette tape, and photo prints of the original The Sirens of Time production.[9][29]
    • These editions were restricted to one per customer, with duplicate orders cancelled and refunded.[9][27][28][29] The Bronze Edition is considered as "Unlimited" in the news article announcement of the Redux.[9]
  • The cover was revealed on 1 July 2024.[30] Tom Webster posted the clean artwork to his Twitter the same day.[31] The costumes and bodies for the Doctors were provided by cosplayers Webster had asked to help with the cover.[32][33] Those of the Fifth and Sixth Doctor were provided by EspadonPatissier,[34] while the Seventh Doctor's was provided by Daniel Pederson.[35][36]
  • The webpages for the Redux Editions on the Big Finish website originally used the image of the recording tapes that was featured in the announcement article.[40][41][42] Following the cover reveal on 1 July 2024,[30] the images were of course changed to said cover the same day.[43][44]
  • By 3 July] 2024, the Gold and Platinum Editions were sold out, with the Big Finish Twitter account labelling the Silver Edition as "very limited!"[45] By 5 July 2024, the account said they were "about to sell-out [by the way]",[46] followed by the account posting on 8 July that for those who wanted a CD copy of the Redux to "Be quick!", as the image that was included with the post stated CD copies were 90% sold out,[47] then later on 9 July, that the amount was "down to double-digits".[48]
    • On 10 July 2024, The Sirens of Time Redux was declared out of print.[49]
  • The trailer for the Redux was released on 5 July 2024.[46]
  • Sometime between 5 October 2024[50] and 6 November 2024, the Big Finish page for the Platinum Edition was updated to include two packshot images in the Backstage tab.[51]
    • Sometime between 25 November[52] and 27 November 2024, photos of Peter Davison, Colin Baker at the original recording of The Sirens of Time, Jason Haigh-Ellery and Gary Russell being interviewed, and Nicholas Briggs at the original CD release of The Sirens of Time, all taken in 1999, were added to the Backstage tab.[53]
  • On 1 November 2024, the Big Finish Twitter account posted the second packshot image of the Platinum Edition.[54][55][25]
  • A tweet from the Big Finish account stated that The Sirens of Time Redux would release a week from 21 November 2024, ergo, 28 November.[56] This is most likely an error as all other dates - and the day Redux did release - was on 26 November 2024.[1][2][3][6][7]

Differences between versions

  • Whereas the original focused on one Doctor per each of the first three parts, the Redux features all three incarnations throughout those parts. According to the Big Finish news article announcing the Redux, this was done "for a more narratively satisfying experience."[9][57] Nicholas Briggs stated this made for "a significantly different unfolding of the narrative of the story" in the same article.[9][23]
  • The Delia Derbyshire theme as used in the original is not used in the Redux. Instead, the respective themes for the Doctors are, though not sequentially.
  • The original opened with the following line from a computer warning system on Gallifrey (voiced by Nicholas Briggs): "Sector 8 alert! Sector 8 alert! Unauthorised capsule entry imminent! Repeat: Unauthorised capsule entry imminent! Stand two on Sector 8!" in a pre-titles sequence.
    • In the Redux, there is no pre-titles sequence, and it opens with the merchant ship at sea as the TARDIS materialises inside it. The Fifth Doctor then exits, making the opening line of Redux, "Hmm. Just as I thought. A sea vessel of some sort... Probably steam turbines. Come on out, you two! Let's stretch your sea legs! While I use my tracker to see if this is where that time distortion, or whatever it was, is coming from."
  • The Doctors' "Contact" segment in the Redux is truncated significantly from the original's.
