Synopsis
Welcome to The Vault - jokingly known as 'The Museum of Terrors' - a high security establishment where UNIT keeps all of its alien artifacts.
New recruit Warrant Officer Charlie Sato is given a guided tour by Captain Ruth Matheson, and the archive reveals some dark secrets. An army jacket, a painting, crystal and a wax cylinder all hold a grave significance, and their stories are told by the Doctor's companions: Steven Taylor, Zoe Heriot, Jo Grant and Romana...
Cast
- Captain Ruth Matheson - Daphne Ashbrook
- Warrant Officer Charlie Sato - Yee Jee Tso
- Steven Taylor - Peter Purves
- Zoe Heriot - Wendy Padbury
- Jo Grant - Katy Manning
- Romana - Mary Tamm
References
- Private Tommy Watkins was killed in the Battle of Spion Kop during the Second Boer War, as was the case with Joan Redfern's husband Oliver. (DW: Human Nature) Though it is not stated in either production, the battle took place from 23 to 24 January 1900.
Notes
- This is the second Companion Chronicles release to feature multiple companions from different eras (the first being CC: The Three Companions).
- As Big Finish does not have the rights to the TV movie characters Grace Holloway and Chang Lee, Daphne Ashbrook and Yee Jee Tso are able to participate in the Companion Chronicles by playing new characters. This isn't the first time companion actors have been brought in to perform characters other than their originals for the line.
- This audio drama features a cast of six actors, more than any other Companion Chronicle release to date.
- Along with CC: Mother Russia, this is one of only two Big Finish audio dramas to feature Dodo Chaplet as a character.
Continuity
- Captain Matheson tells Warrant Office Sato about the Terravore incursion in the London Underground in 2010. (BFA: The Crimes of Thomas Brewster)
- References are made to UNIT's involvement with an incident involving a sea monster appearing in the River Thames (DW: Terror of the Zygons) and the disturbances at the millennium (DW: Doctor Who (1996), MA: Millennial Rites, BFIW: The Panda Invasion).
