Neverland is the thirty-third of Big Finish Productions' monthly audio stories. It features the Eighth Doctor played by Paul McGann and Charlotte Pollard played by India Fisher, with Lalla Ward making an appearance as Lady President Romana. This story concludes the arc of stories beginning with Invaders from Mars concerning the paradox of Charley Pollard's surviving the R101's destruction. Neverland is one of three audio stories to feature Paul McGann's Eighth Doctor alongside Romana as played by Lalla Ward. The others are the audio adaption Shada, which itself is an extended release of the webcast of the same name, and Zagreus.

Publisher's summary

The Web of Time is stretched to breaking. History is leaking like a sieve. In the Citadel of Gallifrey, the Time Lords fear the end of everything that is, everything that was... everything that will be.

The Doctor holds the Time Lords’ only hope — but exactly what lengths will the Celestial Intervention Agency go to in their efforts to retrieve something important from within his TARDIS? What has caused the Imperiatrix Romanadvoratrelundar to declare war on the rest of creation? And can an old nursery rhyme about a monster called Zagreus really be coming true?

The answers can only be found outside the bounds of the universe itself, in a place that history forgot. In the wastegrounds of eternity. In the Neverland.

Timeline

Time Lords

  • Vansell's full name is Vansellostophossius. He was nicknamed "Nosebung".
  • When Romana was a young girl of sixty, her family went to the shores of Lake Abydos on Gallifrey.

Notes

  • Don Warrington's name was not included in any of the cast lists printed in Doctor Who Magazine, www.doctorwho.co.uk or the CD's inner booklet in order to conceal the character's identity. His name does, however, appear on the cover of the CD.[1]
  • Despite Neverland being publicised as a traditional Big Finish Productions four-story, it was released as 'a special two-part, feature-length' presentation with episodes of seventy-two minutes each.[1]
  • Part 2 of Neverland leads directly into Zagreus. However, there was a gap of a year and five months between the release of Neverland in June 2002 and the release of Zagreus in November 2003.
  • This audio drama was recorded on 24 and 25 January 2001 and 27 February 2002.
