Journey into Time (unreleased audio story)

✅

 was the first audio drama based upon Doctor Who. A pilot made for a planned 52-instalment radio series, it was never broadcast, nor did it lead to a series. Since all recordings were lost, and the work was never broadcast so that fans could have potentially recorded it, little beyond the script and a few trade advertisements remain. The first publication of the Malcolm Hulke script was in a 2012 Nothing at the End of the Lane publication. Richard Bignell discovered the script in a routine perusal of the BBC Archives in the early 2010s. The BBC's note of rejection, written by Martin Esslin, head of sound drama in the late 1960s, was:
 * "As a typical commercial production for unsophisticated listeners in Australia or even some parts of the United States, it stands up quite well. As a piece of science fiction, however, it strikes me as extremely feeble."

Although the story was advertised as starring Peter Cushing, and he had played the theatrical film version of Dr. Who before, it's decidedly certain that he would actually have been playing the same version of the character in this series. Equally, since we don't even know who was cast as Susan in the pilot, there's no way to assess whether she was meant to be the character played by Roberta Tovey in the films. Certainly, there is no precedent in either film or television for a character called "Mike".
