The Stuff of Legend was an Eighth Doctor Adventure produced by Big Finish Productions. It was written by Robert Valentine and featured Paul McGann as the Eighth Doctor, India Fisher as Charlotte Pollard, Alex Macqueen as the Reborn Master and Nicholas Briggs as the Daleks.

The story celebrated the 25th anniversary of Big Finish beginning to do Doctor Who audio stories, and was also performed as a live stage play.

Publisher's summary

Something is afoot in the lonely Cornish village of Merrymaid Bay. Rumours of dead men working in the tin mines have sent a chill through the community, and it's up to the Doctor and Charley to get to the bottom of the mystery.

Can the legends of the Bucca that haunts the mines be true? And just what awesome power do the Doctor's greatest enemies - the Daleks! - threaten to unleash upon the universe?

Notes

  • The Stuff of Legend was recorded on 22-23 and 29 April 2024 at the Soundhouse.
  • The Stuff of Legend was written to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Big Finish Productions Doctor Who audio stories and to be performed live on stage. (BFX: The Stuff of Legend)
  • The Dalek renders were provided by James Johnson[1].
    • As with previous renders, Johnson provided a closer look at the Daleks featured on this cover.
    • Black Dalek and Drones closer look.
      The Black Dalek featured on this cover is styled akin to the 1970s era Dalek props, similar to those seen in Planet of the Daleks, but with some design cues taken from some of the later 1980s Supreme Daleks, notably from Resurrection of the Daleks. This design features an almost completely black profile with silver sensor globes[2].
    • Johnson also makes note that some of the regular Daleks featured on the cover are "Dalek Goons", which was a production term used for Daleks featured in Planet of the Daleks that were made from cheaper materials and less prominent compared to the "Hero Dalek" props. This would make a rare instance of a production term being adopted into licensed media.
    • Driller Dalek closer look.
      The Driller Dalek is a variant of the Special Weapons Dalek featured in previous television stories, but with a large tricone drill in place of the traditional cannon. It also features tracks for movement instead of the regular Dalek fender, a design trait previously seen on the Berserker Dalek, also rendered by Johnson[3].
