The Space Security Service returns today!

Agent Anya Kingdom (Jane Slavin) and her android partner Mark Seven (Joe Sims) are back, along with new recruit Sola Akinyemi (Madeline Appiah) – but so are their dreaded enemies, the Daleks (Nicholas Briggs)! 

In three new full-cast audio episodes, the heroes of the Space Security Service – from the acclaimed Doctor Who audio series Dalek Universe – will have to fight harder than ever to protect the galaxy. The Daleks emerge in greater numbers than ever, and with powerful new technology that seemingly guarantees their success. 

For Anya, there’s also an encounter with a familiar face in store… When she is captured by the Daleks, she finds herself sharing a cell with someone who seems to be Bret Vyon, her long-dead uncle. This character first appeared in 1965-66 TV serial The Daleks Master Plan, played by Nicholas Courtney, and here is voiced by impressionist Jon Culshaw. 

The Worlds of Doctor Who – Space Security Service: Bret Vyon Lives! is now available to purchase for just £19.99 (as a digital download to own), exclusively here. 

The three thrilling audio adventures are: 

The Man Inside by Simon Guerrier

Anya Kingdom is a prisoner of the Daleks on a very peculiar space station orbiting a very peculiar star. The Daleks don’t want to kill Anya; they want to break her down psychologically.  

One way to do that is to lock her in a cell with someone Anya knows is a fake. Whoever, whatever, this man really is, he cannot be her beloved uncle. Bret Vyon is dead, end of story. 

But if Anya is to survive, she will need his help… 

The Wages of Death by David Llewellyn 

Furiosa 237 is a remote world in the hinterlands of the galaxy. Anya and Mark teleport in and quickly take jobs on a cargo shop. They’re undercover – on an urgent, secret mission. 

Their task is to locate a device called a Progenitor, then drop it into the nearest black hole — and quickly, before it can hatch. 

But at least one person on board is determined to save the Progenitor and unleash its deadly contents: a whole army of Daleks. 

The Sky is for Sale by James Kettle 

A huge satellite mines the atmosphere of Saturn. Following a number of threats, agent Sola Akinyemi of the Space Security Service is on board, tasked with keeping the workers and their families safe. 

Meanwhile, Anya Kingdom is at Triple-S headquarters, working to expose and eradicate corruption in the service. But just as she’s making progress, HQ is attacked. And then the mining satellite is invaded – by a different hostile force! 

In the desperate battle that follows, Anya and Sola will have to make impossible choices. Who can they really trust? And what horrors are they willing to sanction if it means defeating the Daleks? 

Lead actor Jane Slavin said: “These wonderful stories have been written with such care, I’m so admiring of the writers – where they get these fantastical, gloriously complicated ideas from, I’ve no idea! 

“With The Man Inside in particular, I love the idea of meeting somebody you’ve lost and getting a second chance, resolving something unresolved, having those conversations that you failed to have when they were alive. The writing never ceases to capture my heart and my imagination.” 

Nicholas Briggs, Big Finish’s creative director and the voice of the Daleks, added: “The Space Security Service series is close to our hearts as fans who started off with the Doctor Who series in the 1960s and read The Dalek Outer Space Book. It feels like a very authentic bit of vintage Doctor Who. Anya and Mark are great characters, played by great actors. And there are Daleks!”
