The Visitors are now in command of the UK – but the resistance is growing, and determined to find out the real reason for the Visitors’ arrival. 

V – UK, the modern-day reboot of Kenneth Johnson’s V, continues today with a second box set of intense audio drama. 

The first volume, January’s Visitation, adapted the acclaimed 1983 TV miniseries. The Earth was shaken by the arrival of the Visitors, an extraterrestrial race who soon took charge of humanity and imposed martial law over the UK. 

Now, in Occupation, the story continues, with new adventures exploring the dangerous world of V – UK. Those willing to resist their new overlords are beginning to gather and build strength, but not all humans are brave enough, and some even collaborate with the Visitors or look for opportunities to make a profit. 

V – UK: Occupation is now available to purchase for just £19.99 (download to own) or £24.99 (collector's edition 3-disc CD box set + download), exclusively here. Please note: the collector’s edition CD is strictly limited to 1,000 copies and will not be repressed. 

The three thrilling hour-long episodes are: 

Episode Four by James Swallow 

It is now January, three months since the Visitors’ arrival. Elwyn, a black marketeer, has been profiting from the shortages, while his brother Brenin, a doctor, has been recruited to the resistance. 

Episode Five by Eddie Robson 

February, and the resistance have discovered what the Visitors are doing with all the people transported at night from Eleanor’s chemical plant. They set out to get footage – as a romance between Visitor Willy and burger van owner Harmony blossoms. 

Episode Six by Lisa McMullin 

It’s now March. Mike is determined to get into the Visitor mothership, but to do that he needs the help of collaborator Eleanor. Meanwhile Robin has realised she is pregnant with a Visitor’s child and has some difficult choices to make. 

This box set of full-cast audio drama stars Jack Myers as documentary maker Mike Donovan, Annabel Baldwin as the trainee doctor Juliet Parrish, and Hannah Brown as the teenage Robin Maxwell. 

Jack Myers said: “It was lovely to be back in this world. I had an absolute blast on the first three that we did, so to be able to come back for a second go of it is a joy. 

“These three episodes are a little different to the first three – we’re meeting Mike well into his journey of discovering who these Visitors are, and his story is now about finding his son. And this pursuit is driving him to a much darker space than we’ve seen him before. It’s interesting and a little bit scary, because a supposedly good man is drawn to doing quite dark things.” 

Jon Culshaw joins the cast as Willy, a fan-favourite character from the classic TV series. “I remember V on the television in the early 1980s,” Culshaw said. “There was a flavour of Logan’s Run to it, and of Quatermass. It was more unnerving, it psychologically set you on edge. 

“Willy is very much on a voyage here. He starts out serving the overlord characters, these ruling alien creatures. But there’s a lot of empathy in Willy, and there is much that he has not liked, that he can’t honestly hold comfortably in his alien heart. And so we see these fractures.” 

The ensemble cast also includes Louise Faulkner, Andrew James Spooner, Sam Stafford, Alan Cox, Abigail Cruttenden, Mark Elstob, Jason Forbes, Harriet Kershaw, Tom Kiteley, and George Naylor.
