Big Finish’s Survivors is taking a leap forward in time for the sixth box set, out next year.

“This time our adventures will be set during the third season of the TV show,” says producer David Richardson. “Our three lead characters have gone their separate ways: Greg is in Norway, Jenny is left behind in the UK and Abby – who hasn’t seen them for many months – is forging her own path. All three leads appear in the box set. But will their paths cross at all?”

A popular character from the TV series returns in this set: Ruth, a young doctor originally played by Annie Irving and later by Celia Gregory. For audio, Ruth is now played by Big Finish regular Helen Goldwyn

“Helen is such an accomplished actor,” says Richardson. “When we were recasting Ruth, we wanted someone who could capture the essence of the character defined by Annie Irving and then Celia Gregory in the TV series. Helen watched some episodes of the TV series and then, of course, did it brilliantly and gives a fantastic performance in our second episode The Trapping Pit, which is written by Christopher Hatherall.”
