Jubilee was the fortieth monthly Doctor Who audio story produced by Big Finish Productions. It was the second encounter with the Daleks for companion Evelyn Smythe played by Maggie Stables. It was also the a story that author Robert Shearman would use as the basis for his television story Dalek two years later when Doctor Who returned to television screens.
Publisher's summary
Hurrah! The deadly Daleks are back! Yes, those loveable tinpot tyrants have another plan to invade our world. Maybe this time because they want to drill to the Earth's core. Or maybe because they just feel like it.
And when those pesky pepperpots are in town, there is one thing you can be sure of. There will be non-stop high octane mayhem in store. And plenty of exterminations!
But never fear. The Doctor is on hand to sort them out. Defender of the Earth, saviour of us all. With his beautiful assistant, Evelyn Smythe, by his side, he will fight once again to uphold the beliefs of the English Empire. All hail the glorious English Empire!
Now that sounds like a jubilee worth celebrating, does it not?

Notes
- Jubilee is the first release to use the Dominic Glynn arrangement of the Doctor Who theme. It is also the first to have a full-colour CD insert.

- Robert Shearman adapted this audio to write Dalek for Series 1 of Doctor Who.
- Jane Goddard and Kai Simmons have characters named for their surnames in Dalek.
- In various Torchwood stories and in TV: Dalek there are Jubilee Pizza pizza boxes as a homage to this story. A Jubilee Pizza leaflet is also seen in TV: The Lodger.
