Big Dig was the sixty-sixth Bernice Summerfield audio story released by Big Finish Productions. It was the first story of the Missing Persons series.
Publisher's summary
Bernice has been invited to appear on a very special live edition of the archaeology series Big Dig: a programme she grew up with as a girl... which now makes her feel very old. Not as old, however, as the mysterious stone robot she unwittingly uncovers during an excavation on the planet Saravas.
With no other trace of civilisation, this could be the only clue to the Truth of the planet's inhabitants. But when Ruth and Jack start acting strangely, Bernice realises there was a reason things were hidden... and secrets aren't the only things to be buried.
Welcome to the biggest Big Dig ever!
Plot
Accompanied by Ruth and Jack, Benny joins a dig on Saravas as the "dolled-up, token history babe" for a live episode of Big Dig, a daytime archaeology programme presented by Shepton Rothwell. Jimmy Deel, the resident expert, explains that Saravas was once home to an advanced civilisation who shunned the written word, but now only a series of stone pillars and arches remain. The three arches are a temperature gauge and, when the three suns shine through them at once, the planet is roasted.
