Publisher's summary
‘Welcome back, Doctor...’
Centuries ago, on the war-torn planet Skaro, a great scientist created the most evil creatures the Universe would ever know... Daleks.
It was at their genesis that the scientist Davros first met and was defeated by the Doctor.
Over the years and throughout space, they fought.
It was a fight that ended with the Doctor’s destruction of Skaro and the Daleks. Except...
Davros survived. Alone. In the dark. With only thoughts of revenge keeping him alive.
The Doctor is back. Davros is waiting.
Their destiny is now.
Cast
- The Doctor - Paul McGann
- Charley Pollard - India Fisher
- C'rizz - Conrad Westmaas
- Davros - Terry Molloy
- Harriet Griffin - Julia Deakin
- Samson Griffin - Lee Ingleby
- Gemma Griffin - Lizzie Hopley
- The Daleks - Nicholas Briggs
References
Individuals
- The Doctor claims Agatha Christie once travelled with him.
- The Doctor has adventures with Gemma and Samson prior to meeting with Charley on the R101.
Races and species
- Davros was brought aboard a Nekkistani time ship and was able to control Gemma and Samson and thus gain access to the TARDIS.
Timeline
- It is not known when Earth is conquered and transformed, though it's at a time when the Channel Tunnel is still in use.
Notes
- Big Finish have stated that Davros does not become the Emperor Dalek seen in The Parting of the Ways.
Continuity
- For Davros, this story is virtually a direct sequel to DW: Remembrance of the Daleks. There are two stories which could be so considered, the other being EDA: War of the Daleks (see further down for discussion of Terror Firma's continuity with War of the Daleks).
- BFA: The Next Life's last scene runs straight into this story.
- Davros makes reference to the conversation he shared with the Doctor in DW: Genesis of the Daleks and the Seventh Doctor's destruction of Skaro in Remembrance of the Daleks.
- Charley and the Doctor last encountered the Daleks in BFA: The Time of the Daleks.
- This audio doesn't really retcon EDA: War of the Daleks, it just totally ignores it... however, it is possible to work both into a single continuity (if you really feel the need to).
- If you do, then it would appear that Terror Firma takes place first, as the Doctor and Davros both believe that Skaro has been destroyed (or at least, they do not say that it has not), and make no mention of the Dalek Prime's claim that a decoy world called Antalin was destroyed. Presumably at some point after Terror Firma, the Davros personality reasserts itself and Davros somehow ends up in another escape pod in another field of debris in space.
Timeline
- Terror Firma occurs after BFA: The Next Life
- Terror Firma occurs before ST: Before Midnight
