Publisher's summary

Welcome to The Vault - jokingly known as 'The Museum of Terrors' - a high security establishment where UNIT keeps all of its alien artefacts.

New recruit Warrant Officer Charlie Sato is given a guided tour by Captain Ruth Matheson, and the archive reveals some dark secrets. An army jacket, a painting, crystal and a wax cylinder all hold a grave significance, and their stories are told by the Doctor's companions: Steven Taylor, Zoe Heriot, Jo Grant and Romana...

Notes

  • This is the second Companion Chronicles release to feature multiple companions from different eras (the first being CC: The Three Companions). There are in fact six companions involved in the story, although only four are heard. This is not an omnibus of stories with linking material, but rather Jo, Romana, Steven and Zoe are worked into the narrative by way of archival recordings.
  • As Big Finish does not have the rights to the TV movie characters Grace Holloway and Chang Lee, Daphne Ashbrook and Yee Jee Tso participate in the Companion Chronicles by playing new characters. This isn't the first time companion actors have been brought in to perform characters other than their originals for the line. A reference to the movie is nonetheless made when Matheson talks about UNIT covering up strange events that occurred at the turn of the millennium.
  • This audio drama features a cast of six actors, more than any other Companion Chronicle release to date.
  • Many Companion Chronicles are in the form of one actor reading a story, but the format of this story allows it to be presented as a regular audio drama.
  • Along with CC: Mother Russia, this is one of only two Big Finish audio dramas to feature Dodo Chaplet as a character.
  • This audio drama was recorded on 11 November 2010.
