Sci-Fi Bulletin: Exploring the Universes of SF, Fantasy, Horror and Spy-fi!

Big Finish has released more details on Bernice Summerfield’s next adventure with the Daleks that starts in September.

A new Dalek masterplan threatens the galaxy. A deadly alliance is building. Can Bernice Summerfield save us?

Professor Bernice Summerfield (Lisa Bowerman) must defend the universe from the evil invaders from Skaro in her latest full-cast audio adventure, The Dalek Eternity.

This epic story, told over eight 30-minute episodes, begins with Benny at her new home, a club for interstellar explorers – as visited in last year’s series Bernice Summerfield: The Eternity Club – when the Daleks (Nicholas Briggs) show up, setting off a quest across the stars.

Her fight back will take Benny to planets ruined by Dalek occupation, and to idyllic worlds where they haven’t yet reached – but the threat of imminent extermination is ever-present, and no-one is safe.

The Dalek Eternity comprises four full-cast audio drama releases, each including two half-hour episodes:
