The Revolution was the first full cast audio story in The New Adventures of Bernice Summerfield audio anthology released in 2014 by Big Finish Productions.
Publisher's summary
On the planet of Arviem 2, Bernice Summerfield has a lot of problems. Pursued by robots, maniacs and miracles, she has another issue to contend with. The Doctor's come looking for her – and he's not feeling himself.
Plot
Benny gets drunk at Renk Van Magnastein's themed bar on Arviem 2 and passes out, after which she notices that he seems to have changed his shirt and grown a beard. Inquisitor Xavier and a robot of the Faculty Police come to arrest her for blasphemy against science. Renk hides her by putting a blast visor on her and, once they have gone, Benny realises that the Doctor is hanging on the wall in suspended animation. He wakes up, not feeling himself, and leaves with Benny on Renk's hoverbike.
Chased by robots, Benny and the Doctor arrive at the transit port to fly to South Arvemia and find it empty. Benny exploits the robots' obsession with science by saying that they could disprove Schrödinger's cat by allowing her to leave alive, giving her the opportunity to shoot off their arms and flee with the Doctor. Frogs rain down from the sky, a rational explanation for which the Faculty Police promise to issue in due course, and Benny finds that Dr Geller has left her multiple voice messages; when she calls her back, she learns that her team have been walled up in a cave.
Benny returns to Renk's bar and, leaving the Doctor behind as she feels that he is getting in the way, heads to South Arvemia with Renk in his ship. The Doctor works on an apology with Trevor and transmats himself onto the ship by altering the bar's sobriety booth and changes the landing coordinates so that the Faculty Police will not be able to predict where they are going. The ship crashes.
