There’s a family reunion in “The Legacy of Time,” Big Finish Productions’ epic new release celebrating 20 years of Doctor Who audio adventures.
In the fourth story of the deluxe box set, the Fifth Doctor (Peter Davison) will be meeting his future daughter Jenny, played by the actor’s real-life daughter Georgia Tennant.
Described as the biggest audio crossover event ever, the Legacy of Time box set comprises six hour-long stories with characters from the entire history of Doctor Who crossing paths – some for the very first time as – classic and new series Doctor Who collide.
In Relative Time by Matt Fitton, Jenny (who also stars in her own new series of audio adventures: Jenny – The Doctor’s Daughter) meets an earlier regeneration of her father and together they’ll need all their wits about them to defeat another Time Lord, the Nine, played by John Heffernan (The Crown, Ripper Street).
Disaster strikes inside the Time Vortex, throwing together the Fifth Doctor and his future daughter Jenny – and the Nine sees an opportunity to steal something huge.
As well as starring in her own series, Jenny – The Doctor’s Daughter, Georgia Tennant also featured alongside her father at the age of 16 in Big Finish’s eighth Doctor Who release, Red Dawn released in 2000.
“It was just an irresistible idea, the thought of pairing father and daughter, playing father and daughter, in our massive 20th anniversary special,” said David Richardson, producer of The Legacy of Time. “And it’s great to have Jenny back again after the enormous success of her debut on audio – the series received universally positive reviews and an outpouring of love from listeners, so we’re looking forward to even more adventures with The Doctor’s Daughter.
“The Legacy of Time is quite possibly the biggest Doctor Who story we have ever told at Big Finish. It’s been so hugely satisfying to make – I hope everyone finds it just as satisfying to listen to!”
Time is collapsing. Incidents of temporal chaos and devastation are appearing throughout the many lives of the Doctor and his friends – fallout from one terrible disaster.
The Doctor must save history itself – and he will need all the help he can get.
