The Revolution Game was the second story in The Eighth Doctor: The Further Adventures of Lucie Miller: Volume One, produced by Big Finish Productions. It was written by Alice Cavender and featured Paul McGann as the Eighth Doctor and Sheridan Smith as Lucie Miller.
Publisher's summary
It's Lucie's birthday, and her birthday treat awaits. But whatever she's expecting, it's not what she’s getting on the colony world of Castus Sigma in the year 3025: ringside seats for the interplanetary Retro Roller Derby – sponsored by Heliacorp, "turning sunlight into gold"!
It's more than just a game, though. For the competitors, it's a matter of life or death – a New Life with Heliacorp, or a living death on Castus Sigma.
Or, on this fateful day, a very actual death. Because there are strange creatures living out on the plain, beyond the colony. Creatures with every reason to want to sabotage the games. Creatures with a grudge.
Plot
Lucie, who calculates that it is long past her birthday, asks the Doctor for a birthday surprise. Setting the TARDIS to arrive somewhere at random, they arrive in a desert on Castus Sigma at a time when the area should be an oasis. They pick up a transmission advertising the Retro Roller Derby, exciting Lucie and prompting her to reverse her decision to leave.
The Doctor and Lucie meet Sash and George, the latter of whom has been injured. Lucie goes with Sash and George to the medicentre on an automatic buggy whilst the Doctor lags behind on foot, soon encountering the buggy's irritated owner, Clegg.
