The Stealers from Saiph (audio story)

The Stealers from Saiph was a 2009 audio play by Big Finish Productions. It was the first story produced by Big Finish which featured the character of Romana I during the time she travelled with the Fourth Doctor, though, thanks to the preceding Gallifrey series, it was not the Big Finish debut of either Romana I or Mary Tamm.

As of 2012, it remains a unique entry in the Companion Chronicles series, as it uses only one actor.
