Big Finish Smith & Sullivan Reunited
Available to order from www.bigfinish.com
Sarah Jane and Harry back together!
Their travels with the Doctor have ended, but the adventures never stop – Sadie Miller and Christopher Naylor star in Smith & Sullivan, beginning in July 2025.
Sarah Jane Smith: investigative journalist; Dr Harry Sullivan: UNIT operative. Together, they journeyed to the stars with the Doctor. But when the adventures end, what can they do?
Find more…
Reunited in the chaos of 1980s London, Sarah and Harry find danger and darkness lurking beneath the metropolitan veneer of wealth and technology. With trusty super-computer K9 and the brilliant Lavinia Smith alongside, new adventures are just beginning…
Sadie Miller and Christopher Naylor return to the roles of the Fourth Doctor’s companions Sarah Jane Smith and Harry Sullivan – as originally played on TV by Elisabeth Sladen (Sadie’s mother) and Ian Marter – for their own brand-new series of full-cast audio adventures.
A few years after leaving the TARDIS behind, journalist Sarah Jane takes an assignment that brings her back in touch with her old friend Harry, a doctor freelancing for UNIT. They soon team up on new investigations, and are joined by K9 (John Leeson) and Sarah’s Aunt Lavinia (Annette Badland, familiar to Doctor Who viewers as Blon Fel-Fotch Pasameer-Day Slitheen, taking over the role first portrayed in K9 & Company by Mary Wimbush).
This team will discover that, though they’re no longer travelling the stars with the Doctor, there are plenty of threats to be uncovered and villains to be vanquished back at home on Earth.
The first volume of The Worlds of Doctor Who – Smith and Sullivan, Reunited, is now available to pre-order as a digital download to own for just £19.99, exclusively from www.bigfinish.com.
The three episodes in this box set are:
- The Caller by Tim Foley
- Union of the Snake by Roland Moore
- Blood Type by Simon Guerrier
Producer Mark Wright said: “I was so happy to take on producing duties for a trip back to the 1980s with Sarah Jane Smith and Harry Sullivan. These characters meant so much to me as a three-year old discovering Doctor Who for the very first time in 1974, so to be reuniting them for new adventures is a privilege – as is working with this incredible cast.
“In Sadie Miller and Christopher Naylor, we have two actors who have grown together as Sarah and Harry, paying tribute to the memories of Sadie’s mum Elisabeth Sladen and Ian Marter with a great deal of love in their wonderful performances. With national treasure John Leeson joining the team as K9 and Annette Badland stepping into the shoes of Aunt Lavinia, something very magical happened in studio on our first day.
“Our three stories for Reunited plunge Sarah and Harry into the dark corners of London’s metropolitan underworld. Extra-terrestrial artefacts are traded, technology is perverted, and sinister forces wait in the shadows of other dimensions…”

April 1st, 2025 - 9:08pmFor situations like this (and the recent UNIT example), I don’t understand why BF can’t introduce some kind of ‘Print On Demand’ based on pre-orders (after all the money is taken at the time of placing the order).
When Big Finish had website issues last year, I found other things to listen to (e.g. podcasts). Keeping up to date with BF’s large monthly output was always a challenge (a First World problem, I acknowledge) made ‘harder’ with competing alternative(s). The lack of physical product IMO is another reason to buy less from BF – especially as the downloads are so expensive.

March 31st, 2025 - 10:43am100% agreed. With all the emphasis BF has put on collectible physical versions in the past (The Tenth Doctor and novel adaptation book-style sets, The Worlds Of Doctor Who, Masterful, Once and Future limited sets, vinyl releases etc) this decision seems very arbitrary . I’m sure this set would prove very popular as a physical release, and would probably sell more copies than , say, ‘The Time Tunnel’ which IS getting a physical release, bad decision, I think.
