The Stones of Venice is a Big Finish Productions audio drama based on the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who. This audio drama was broadcast on BBC 7 in four weekly parts starting on 1 October 2005, and was repeated on the same channel beginning on 22 October 2006 and on 19 September 2007. This was Michael Sheard's final appearance in Doctor Who, before his death on 31 August 2005.
Cast[edit]
- The Doctor — Paul McGann
- Charley Pollard — India Fisher

Notes[edit]
- The names of some of this play's characters are derived from romantic works of fiction. "Duke Orsino" is from Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, and Mrs. Lavish is from A Room with a View by E. M. Forster.
- The play's name is a reference to The Stones of Venice, a collection of essays by John Ruskin from the 1850s.
- Although it was the third to be released, this was the first Eighth Doctor audio drama to be recorded and therefore marked Paul McGann's return to the role for the first time since the 1996 Doctor Who TV movie and India Fisher's first performance as Charley Pollard.
Working Titles[edit]
