This is a full-cast original audio play produced by Big Finish Productions. A Flash animated version can be found on the the BBC's Doctor Who website.


On a planet known only as Chronos, two scientific survey teams have vanished. Inexplicably. Without warning. But with just one clue supplied - a single screamed word: "Cybermen!"

The Univeristy they worked for has called in the Earth security forces who despatch a third team, a mix of military and scietific might, under the auspicies of a University Administrator. If that kind of volatile grouping isn't bad enough, three strangers have been added to the mix - a young hum expert in Cybermen and a mysterious traveller in space and time, the Doctor, along with his companion, Dr Evelyn Smythe.

But can they solve the riddle of the vanished survey teams before the Cybermen harness Chronos' unique temporal gifts and rewrite the history of the galaxy?

Production Notes
Real Time was originally broadcast as an animated web drama on the BBC's Doctor Who website between 2 August and 6 September 2000. Despite being animated, the script and audio production were specifically designed so that story could be followed and understood perfectly as a purely audio production. This double-CD features the audio only version of Real Time but includes extra scenes not in the original broadcast.
