It was written by [[Joseph Lidster]] and featured [[Paul McGann]] as the [[Eighth Doctor]], [[India Fisher]] as [[Charlotte Pollard]] and [[Conrad Westmaas]] as [[C'rizz]]. Continuing from the cliffhanger at the end of ''[[The Next Life (audio story)|The Next Life]]'', this story is the first Eighth Doctor story of 2005 and the first story to be set in the normal universe after eight previous stories set in the [[Divergent Universe]]. Furthermore, this is the first story to depict the Eighth Doctor's travels prior to the events of Big Finish's first Eighth Doctor audio drama ''[[Storm Warning (audio story)|Storm Warning]]'' and goes some way to explain why the Doctor was travelling alone in that story. == Publisher's summary == ''"Welcome back, Doctor..."'' Centuries ago, on the war-torn planet [[Skaro]], a great scientist created the most evil creatures the Universe would ever know... [[Dalek]]s. It was at their [[Creation of the Daleks|genesis]] that the scientist Davros first met and was defeated by the [[Fourth Doctor|Doctor]]. Over the years and throughout [[space]], they fought. It was a fight that ended with the [[Seventh Doctor|Doctor]]'s destruction of Skaro and the Daleks. Except... Davros survived. Alone. In the dark. With only thoughts of revenge keeping him alive. The [[Eighth Doctor|Doctor]] is back. Davros is waiting. Their destiny is now. == Plot == ''to be added'' == Cast == * [[Eighth Doctor|The Doctor]] - [[Paul McGann]] * [[Charlotte Pollard|Charley Pollard]] - [[India Fisher]] * [[C'rizz]] - [[Conrad Westmaas]] * [[Davros]] - [[Terry Molloy]] * [[Harriet Griffin]] - [[Julia Deakin]] * [[Samson Griffin]] - [[Lee Ingleby]] * [[Gemma Griffin]] - [[Lizzie Hopley]] * The [[Dalek]]s - [[Nicholas Briggs]] == References == === Individuals === * The Doctor claims that [[Agatha Christie]] once travelled with him. * The Eighth Doctor had numerous adventures with Samson and Gemma before meeting Charley aboard the British airship ''[[R101]]'' on [[5 October]] [[1930]]. === Species === * Davros was brought aboard a [[Nekkistani]] time ship and was able to control Gemma and Samson and thus gain access to the TARDIS. === Planets === * The Doctor, Samson and Gemma once visited [[Valuensis]], [[Porteus]] and [[Murgatroyd]]. === Locations === * The Doctor, Samson and Gemma visited the [[Ice Caves of Shabadabadon]], [[BC|prehistoric]] [[Earth]], the court of [[Elizabeth I|Queen Elizabeth I]] and [[Studio 54]] during their travels together. == Notes == * Big Finish stated that Davros does not become the [[Dalek Emperor]] seen in ''[[The Parting of the Ways]]''. * This was the first audio drama to feature [[Paul McGann]] as a former Doctor. * This would be the final Big Finish audio drama released in the main range to feature Davros until ''[[The Curse of Davros (audio story)|The Curse of Davros]]'' in January 2012. * This audio drama was recorded on [[25 April (production)|25 April]] and [[11 May (production)|11 May]] 2005 at [[The Moat Studios]]. * The story was reissued in 2007 as part of ''[[The Complete Davros Collection]] ''DVD boxset. == Continuity == * For Davros, this story is virtually a direct sequel to [[TV]]: ''[[Remembrance of the Daleks]]''. There are two stories which could be so considered, the other being [[PROSE]]: ''[[War of the Daleks (novel)|War of the Daleks]]'' (see further down for discussion of the continuity of ''Terror Firma'' with ''War of the Daleks''). * [[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Next Life (audio story)|The Next Life]]''{{'}}s last scene runs straight into this story. * Davros makes reference to the conversation that he had with the [[Fourth Doctor]] in [[TV]]: ''[[Genesis of the Daleks (TV story)|Genesis of the Daleks]]'' and the [[Seventh Doctor]]'s destruction of [[Skaro]] in [[TV]]: ''[[Remembrance of the Daleks (TV story)|Remembrance of the Daleks]]''. * Charley and the Doctor last encountered the Daleks in [[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Time of the Daleks (audio story)|The Time of the Daleks]]''. While travelling with the [[Sixth Doctor]], Charley would encounter the Daleks again in [[AUDIO]]: ''[[Brotherhood of the Daleks (audio story)|Brotherhood of the Daleks]]'' and [[AUDIO]]: ''[[Patient Zero (audio story)|Patient Zero]]''. * This audio does not actually [[retroactive continuity|retcon]] [[PROSE]]: ''[[War of the Daleks (novel)|War of the Daleks]]''. Instead, it completely ignores its plot developments. * [[Valuensis]] was previously mentioned in [[PROSE]]: ''[[The Tomorrow Windows (novel)|The Tomorrow Windows]]''. * The Doctor mentions that he, Samson and Gemma visited the [[Ice Caves of Shabadabadon]]. While in his [[Fifth Doctor|fifth incarnation]], the Doctor had intended to visit them but the TARDIS materialised in the Gogglebox inside the [[The Moon|Moon]] instead. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Gathering (audio story)|The Gathering]]'') The [[Sixth Doctor]] later intended to bring his companion [[Peri Brown]] to see the Ice Caves. Following a brief (and accidental) return to the Gogglebox, they instead travelled to Peri's home town of [[Fell's Point]], [[Baltimore]], [[Maryland]], [[United States of America|USA]] in [[September]] [[1984]] after Peri learned of the murder of [[Anthony Chambers]], the father of her best friend [[Katherine Chambers]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Reaping (audio story)|The Reaping]]'') * In the midst of his travels with Samson and Gemma, the Doctor also travelled with the [[19th century]] British author [[Mary Shelley]] "for years." The fact that he mentioned she was one of his companions in numerous earlier stories such as [[AUDIO]]: ''[[Storm Warning (audio story)|Storm Warning]]'' and [[AUDIO]]: ''[[Shada (audio story)|Shada]]'' would suggest that Davros did not deem it necessary to remove the Doctor's memories of her as her travels with him seemingly did not overlap with those of Samson and Gemma. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Mary's Story (audio story)|Mary's Story]]'') * Although she encountered the Daleks in the [[2050s]], Charley had never previously heard of Davros. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Time of the Daleks (audio story)|The Time of the Daleks]]'') * Charley realises that Samson is acquainted with the Doctor when he mentions [[Promethean Everlasting Matches|everlasting matches]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Caerdroia (audio story)|Caerdroia]]'', ''[[The Next Life (audio story)|The Next Life]]'') * The Doctor recalls when he and Davros "worked together" during his [[Sixth Doctor|sixth incarnation]] and Davros' subsequent failure to change his ways. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Davros (audio story)|Davros]]'') * The Doctor, Samson and Gemma visited the court of [[Elizabeth I]] in their travels together, as the [[Sixth Doctor]] and [[Evelyn Smythe]] had previously done. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Thicker Than Water (audio story)|Thicker Than Water]]'') During his [[Tenth Doctor|tenth incarnation]], the Doctor would encounter Queen Elizabeth I twice ([[TV]]: ''[[The Shakespeare Code (TV story)|The Shakespeare Code]]'', ''[[The End of Time (TV story)|The End of Time]]'') and married her on the latter occasion. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Beast Below (TV story)|The Beast Below]]'', ''[[Amy's Choice (TV story)|Amy's Choice]]'', ''[[The Day of the Doctor (TV story)|The Day of the Doctor]]'') * The Eighth Doctor uses the [[Third Doctor]]'s oft-used phrase, "While there's life, there's hope." ([[TV]]: ''[[The Dæmons (TV story)|The Dæmons]]'', ''[[Planet of the Spiders (TV story)|Planet of the Spiders]]'') * The Doctor finds his copy of [[Agatha Christie]]'s ''[[The Murder of Roger Ackroyd]]'' with the last page missing, lamenting that he'll never know "who did it". The [[Eleventh Doctor]] would prefer to rip out the last pages of books so they didn't have to end as he hated endings.
