'''''The First Sontarans''''' was the sixth release in the [[Series 3 (TLS)|third series]] of ''[[The Lost Stories]]''. It provided the [[Sontaran]]s with an origin story, something which, unlike many of the Doctor's other recurring enemies, had not been provided before. This was only the third full cast audio story to feature the [[Rutan]]s, the first being the ''[[Bernice Summerfield (series)|Bernice Summerfield]]'' audio story ''[[The Bellotron Incident (audio story)|The Bellotron Incident]]'', released in [[2003]], followed by ''[[Castle of Fear (audio story)|Castle of Fear]]'' in [[2009]].

[[1872]]. After finding a strange signalling device on [[the Moon|the moon]], [[Sixth Doctor|the Doctor]] and [[Peri Brown|Peri]] travel to the depths of the English countryside to track down the source of its transmissions. But they're not the first aliens to arrive on the scene.

For hidden within this village is a deadly secret - a secret that could destroy the entire [[Sontaran]] race... and reveal the terrible mystery of their creation.
