The Beginning (audio story)

The Beginning was the seventy-third release in the Companion Chronicles audio range. It was the fifth story of season 8. It was written by Marc Platt and featured the First Doctor and Susan Foreman. So far, it is the very earliest Doctor Who story in any medium from the in-universe point of view.
