Searching for the missing Cass, the Doctor and great-grandson Alex attempt to cross from one end of an unfamiliar universe to the other. Along the way, they meet this reality's version of their friend - the buccaneering Cassie, who has a destiny of her own.

Charting the Uncharted, they will discover what became of the Daleks in this universe, and that someone else has come looking for them... Susan!

8.1 The Only Girl in the World by John Dorney
Searching for Cass, the Doctor and Alex find themselves on board an odd slave spaceship with a version of their friend from the Uncharted universe - the swashbuckling and dangerous Cassie.

Cassie is seeking revenge for the destruction of her homeworld - believing her destiny is to stop Mr Karl, the ruthless killer who obliterated it. But if that is her destiny, why is it so hard to fulfil?

8.2 False Dawn by Alison Winter
A galactic quarantine order has the Doctor investigating an invasive species that is rapidly spreading across the uncharted universe and infiltrating multiple dimensions. As the walls between worlds weaken, even the TARDIS struggles with keeping everything on the inside.

8.3 The Council of Susan by Tim Foley
Looking for a way through a dangerous Barrier, the Doctor and his friends stumble upon an unusual organisation. The Council of Susan is stationed by a wormhole – and they know all about the mysterious time traveller known as ‘Grandfather’. Are the Doctor and Alex due for a family reunion? Or will a darker presence try its best to sever all family ties?

8.4 All Over by Patrick O'Connor
Out on the ice lies an empty blue box. Luckily, there’s someone out here who can drag it to safety – that’s what Friends are for, after all. In a rundown house at the edge of the Uncharted, someone will face her destiny. It’s time for myths to be exposed and everything to end.

Producer and script editor Matt Fitton said: "The Doctor and Alex unite in a quest to find their friend at the far end of an unknown, yet oddly familiar, universe. Along the way, they meet the Uncharted version of Cass: the buccaneering Cassie, who has a quest of her own. This TARDIS crew will also encounter old enemies as the Daleks appear for the first time in Uncharted, although they're not quite what the Doctor is expecting...

"“There is another surprise too, with a family reunion, as Carole Ann Ford returns alongside Paul and Sonny McGann for the first time since 2011. It was wonderful to see these generations of the Doctor’s family in studio together, and to hear their interactions - it's going to be emotional!"

Daphne Ashbrook said: "It was wonderful to be working with Paul again. The script was beautifully written and it was so much fun to play a villain to his Doctor. It does make me long for the days when I can be his friend - no pun intended!

"Thirty years it's been since we shot the Doctor Who movie - I've recently watched it for the first time in many years, and I couldn't believe how young we all were. Paul's a fabulous actor, and he loves doing these audio dramas. His talent and the scripts Big Finish write for him is a match, and it's kept his character going. He's been able to experience much of what other Doctors got to experience on TV - what a gift, and it's wonderful to be a part of that."
