Jubilee was the fortieth story in Big Finish's monthly range. It was written by Robert Shearman and featured Colin Baker as the Sixth Doctor and Maggie Stables as Evelyn Smythe.
It was the second encounter with the Daleks for companion Evelyn Smythe. It was also the 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 lovable 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?

References
Foods and beverages
- Dalek juice is made from the secretions of the Dalek as it is tortured.
Time travel
- The Doctor and Evelyn become stuck within a temporal paradox.
Transport technology
- Rochester has a functioning Dalek transolar disc.
Notes
- Jubilee was the first release to use the Dominic Glynn arrangement of the Doctor Who theme. It was also the first to have a full-colour CD insert.
- This was the first Big Finish audio drama to feature the Daleks that wasn't listed as part of the greater Dalek Empire story arc, not including their brief cameo in Seasons of Fear.
- Nigel's habit of collecting dwarves was based on Frederick William I, King in Prussia, who had an obsession with recruiting giants into his elite infantry regiment. He was so obsessed that he would even recruit foreign Soldiers, such as Ottomans, and have the entire regiment parade for his entertainment.[source needed]
- Robert Shearman later used plot elements of this audio as the basis for his Series 1 television story Dalek. Shearman also used the surnames of actors Jane Goddard and Kai Simmons as names of characters in the production.
- Both Dalek and various Torchwood stories feature Jubilee Pizza pizza boxes as an homage to this story. A Jubilee Pizza leaflet is also seen in the television story The Lodger.
- This audio drama was recorded on 21 and 22 September 2002 at The Moat Studios.
Continuity
- There is another instance of alternate futures coming as dreams (and involving the Daleks) in AUDIO: The Time of the Daleks.
- This is not the Doctor and Evelyn's first visit to the Tower of London. They were briefly imprisoned there by order of Queen Mary I in January 1555 when she mistakenly believed they were planning to assassinate her and place her Protestant younger half-sister Elizabeth on the throne. (AUDIO: The Marian Conspiracy) They would visit the Tower once again in 2010. (AUDIO: The Crimes of Thomas Brewster)
- The Sixth Doctor previously discovered a statue of himself on Necros. (TV: Revelation of the Daleks)
- The Fourth Doctor discovered a statue of himself on an unnamed planet. (TV: The Face of Evil)
