The Doctor Who spin-off series The Robots has been extended, and will now consist of six box sets.

In the next set, volume 4, due for release in June 2021, the Chenka sisters are joined by an old friend of the Doctor’s as Gregory de Polnay returns to voice D84. Last seen (and apparently killed) in 1977’s The Robots of Death, the original Doctor Who television story where Kaldor first featured, D84 was an undercover agent who helped the Fourth Doctor (Tom Baker) solve a murder mystery.  

Big Finish’s full-cast audio drama series, The Robots, centres around what happens when Liv Chenka (companion of the Eighth Doctor played by Nicola Walker) returns home for a year to join her sister Tula (Claire Rushbrook) among these highly artificially intelligent androids.

This will not be the end of the story, as The Robots will return for two further volumes, due for release over the next year.

Producer David Richardson said: “The Robots was originally planned to be four box sets. But, as we went along, we just discovered that we had way too many ideas. We had too much story to tell, and could not do it justice in just 12 episodes. Thankfully, the series has been a huge success and has earned its recommission, and so I’m delighted that we now have six more episodes to explore Liv Chenka’s year on the planet Kaldor.”

The Robots: Volume 4 is now available to preorder at the special price of £19.99 as a collector’s edition CD box set or £16.99 as a download from the Big Finish website. The Robots: Volumes 5-6 are now available to preorder as a bundle for just £38 on CD or £33 on download.
