Released in September 2009, it was the final audio story in Big Finish's monthly Doctor Who range to feature Fisher as Charley until 2021's The End of the Beginning. In chronological order, it was also Charley's last story as a companion.

Publisher's summary[[edit] | [edit source]]

"So, this is the blue planet you've forgotten about. But take another look. You helped us once. I know you can help us again."

On Earth, civilisation has ended and time is running out for the Doctor and Charlotte Pollard.

Will the mysterious Viyrans really help?

Without you, the human race will die out. And Planet Earth will surely be our tomb.
