Walking to Babylon
1998
AUDIO PLAY (aka Audio Drama) A full-cast audio play produced by Big Finish Productions and the first audio in the Bernice Summerfield series. (see bottom) ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ "I'm scared of letting all these people down. At least if I get blown up as well, they can say I died heroically. Assuming I ever existed at all." The People are one of the most technologically advanced races in the Universe - except in the area of time travel. Professor Bernice Summerfield has a time ring. So does her ex-husband Jason Kane. Trouble is, they're their wedding rings, and they won't work unless they're together. Benny is surprised when Jason turns up to visit her at St Oscar's, especially when she discovers that he has brought one of the People with him. She should have guessed that her good-for-nothing ex wasn't just interested in her company... Using the time rings, two People create a Time Path and travel back to ancient Babylon, taking an unwilling Jason with them. Benny has just 48 hours to find them and rescue her errant husband, before the People back in the 26th century send a singularity bomb to destroy the Path - and Babylon. But someone else has discovered the Path and walked to Babylon - Edwardian time-sensitive John Lafayette. And Benny discovers her mission has a complication that she never dreamed of - romance. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Special Note: This story is based on the original novel of the same name that was part of the New Adventures series of books released by Virgin Publishing Limited. ~ ~ ~ ~ #3 in the Bernice Summerfield Audios (1.3) #1 in the Time Ring Trilogy

Birthright
1999
A two-part dramatisation starring Lisa Bowerman, with special guest star Colin Baker as Mikhail Vladamir Popov. 'If the human race were to die tomorrow, insect life would carry on regardless. Insects might even become the dominant species!' Thrown off the Time Path, Professor Bernice Summerfield is trapped in early 20th Century London, with only one of the pair of time rings she needs to get home. At the other end of time, her ex-husband Jason Kane finds himself stranded on a dead world, where the queen of the Charrl demands his help to save her dying race. But all he wants to do is find Benny, and return to the 26th Century. In the East End a series of grisly murders has been committed—is this the work of the legendary Springheel Jack or, as Benny suspects, something even more sinister? Allied with a Russian detective, she determines to find out. But the master of a grand order of sorcerers has other plans for her... This story is based on the New Adventure of the same name.

Just War
1999
A two-part dramatisation starring Lisa Bowerman and featuring Stephen Fewell. 'Tomorrow belongs to us, not you. If you were really from the future, Miss Summerfield, you would be a Nazi.' The Nazis occupy British soil and British citizens are being deported to European concentration camps. Those who do not co-operate with the Germans are shot. This isn't a parallel universe: this is Guernsey, 1941, and it's where Bernice is stranded. With no sign of Jason, she has to endure the full horror of the situation, alone and afraid. And something, somewhere has gone wrong. The Nazis are building a secret weapon, one that will have a decisive effect on the outcome of the war—and it's up to Benny to put history back on course... This story is based on the New Adventure of the same name.
