"Slipback" is a radio audio drama based on the long-running British science fiction television series "Doctor Who", produced by the BBC and first broadcast in six episodes on BBC Radio 4 from 25 July to 8 August 1985, as part of a children's magazine show called "Pirate Radio Four". It was later released on cassette and CD, most recently by BBC Audio.

ynopsis

The Sixth Doctor and Peri arrive on a mysterious space liner, where intergalactic policemen are investigating art thefts, a computer is suffering from a split personality and the Captain's disease threatens every living thing on the ship…

Notes

#This audio adventure was written to fill the long gap in production between Seasons 22 and 23 while the programme was on an enforced hiatus (see History of Doctor Who). It was the first full "Doctor Who" adventure to be produced for radio. (A previous production, "The Pescatons", is sometimes considered a radio play but it was actually a story record for children.) No further radio productions would be mounted until the mid-1990s when Jon Pertwee provided the voice of the Doctor in two serials.
#The end of this story, where the "Vipod Mor" is sent back to the beginning of creation and causes the Big Bang, seems to contradict the explanation for the same event in "Terminus".
#A novelisation of this serial, written by Eric Saward, was published by Target Books in April 1986. It was the first novelisation of a non-televised "Doctor Who" story. Saward's novelisation expands on the radio play greatly, with an extensive prologue running a good third of the book before the Doctor appears and the adaptation of the radio play storyline begins.
