The Revenants was a Companion Chronicle audio story released free with a code in DWM 448. It was also later made available with the limited edition of Big Finish's 50th anniversary release The Light at the End.

Publisher's summary[]

The present day: the Orkney Ferry, where Ian Chesterton meets a stranger in whom he can confide.

Decades earlier: the TARDIS lands on Orkney and Ian and Barbara are abandoned when the Doctor and his ship vanish in front of their eyes. As the pair head for civilisation, something is stirring in the treacherous bog lands.

Only the ancient Wissfornjarl can protect them...

  • This story is told from Ian's perspective.
  • Originally, this release was never given a proper cover. However, on 23 December 2022, as part of that years 12 days of Big Finishmas, they re-released it for free for a three day period, giving it a new cover for the download.
