Tales from the Vault (audio story)

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...

Cast

 * Captain Ruth Matheson - Daphne Ashbrook
 * Warrant Officer Charlie Sato - Yee Jee Tso
 * Steven Taylor - Peter Purves
 * Zoe Heriot - Wendy Padbury
 * Jo Grant - Katy Manning

Continuity

 * Captain Matheson tells Warrant Office Sato about the Terravore incursion in the London Underground in 2010. (AUDIO: The Crimes of Thomas Brewster)
 * References are made to UNIT's involvement with an incident involving a sea monster appearing in the River Thames (TV: Terror of the Zygons) and the disturbances at the turn of the millennium (TV: Doctor Who, PROSE: Millennial Rites, AUDIO: The Panda Invasion).
 * The events involving Romana take place in 2002, around the time that Matheson first began working with her UNIT division. This is only the second time that the Time Lady has been chronicled interacting with UNIT, given that she previously met Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart in PROSE: Heart of TARDIS.
 * The events involving Jo are said to take place "70-odd" years after the death of Tommy Watkins in 1900, placing the Doctor's exile on Earth in the early 1970s. This is consistent with the TV: Mawdryn Undead version of the UNIT dating controversy and the real life broadcasts.
 * Jo mentions her encounter with the Axons. (TV: The Claws of Axos)
 * The stated aim of the Vault is very similar to the mandate of Torchwood One. (TV: Army of Ghosts)
 * Private Tommy Watkins was killed in the Battle of Spion Kop in 1900 during the Second Boer War, as was the case with Joan Redfern's husband Oliver. (TV: Human Nature)
