The Fourth Doctor and Ann

You say you don’t remember a companion named Ann in 1978? That’s because she only exists in Big Finish. There’s a gap of undetermined length between “The Invasion of Time” and “The Ribos Operation,” but rather than sneaking in another solo period, or having the Fourth Doctor with just K-9, the folks in charge created a new companion, and a new adventure running through eight stories. Unlike other stories that feature TV companions, listeners don’t come in already knowing how Ann’s story ends. Even better, this is a complete story arc for Ann, making this boxed set self-contained…except it’s more complicated than that, because it always is.
