Revision as of 05:10, 18 December 2013
Based upon the novel of the same title, Oh No It Isn't! was the first Bernice Summerfield audio story, and indeed the very first thing that Big Finish Productions commercially released. It and the other stories of this first series were used as a part of Gary Russell and Jason Haigh-Ellery's pitch to BBC Worldwide to obtain the license to make original audio dramas based on Doctor Who.
Introducing Lisa Bowerman as Bernice Summerfield, it also featured Nicholas Courtney, best known for his character Brigadier Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart, as her cat Wolsey. Like almost every episode in the first series, it was adapted by Jacqueline Rayner from a Virgin New Adventures novel.
Publisher's summary
"The King's balls get bigger every year!"

Nothing, it seems — until they leave the planet and spot a dirty great missile heading towards their ship. But instead of oblivion, Benny finds herself plunged into the strange world of — panto.
