Cobwebs (audio story)

Cobwebs was a Big Finish audio adventure that began the 2010 Fifth Doctor season. It was the first of three such stories that year. It was notable for being the first new story recorded by stars Peter Davison, Sarah Sutton, Janet Fielding and Mark Strickson since 1983's Terminus, discounting flashback sequences in The Caves of Androzani.

Publisher's summary
You know what cobwebs mean. Spiders…”

In search of a cure for a sickness that’s so far claimed six billion lives, scientist Nyssa arrives at an abandoned gene-tech facility on the toxic planet Helheim. ‘Hellhole’, more like.

Nyssa’s not alone. The TARDIS has also been drawn to the Helheim base – and in its cobweb-coated corridors, she soon runs into the Doctor, Tegan and Turlough, her travelling companions of half a century past. But who, or what, has engineered this strange reunion? The Black Guardian, perhaps?

The answer’s here, in the dark. With the Cractids. In the cobwebs.
