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

Notes

• This is the second Companion Chronicles release to feature multiple companions from different eras (the first being CC: The Three Companions).
• As Big Finish does not have the rights to the TV movie characters Grace Holloway and Chang Lee, Daphne Ashbrook and Yee Jee Tso are able to 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.
• This audio drama features a cast of six actors, more than any other Companion Chronicle release to date.
• Along with CC: Mother Russia, this is one of only two Big Finish audio dramas to feature Dodo Chaplet as a character.

Continuity

• Captain Matheson tells Warrant Office Sato about the Terravore incursion in the London Underground in 2010. (BFA: The Crimes of Thomas Brewster)
• References are made to UNIT's involvement with an incident involving a sea monster appearing in the River Thames (DW: Terror of the Zygons) and the disturbances at the millennium (DW: Doctor Who (1996), MA: Millennial Rites, BFIW: The Panda Invasion).
