Excelis Dawns
From The Back Cover...

That terrible old reprobate and transdimensional adventuress Iris Wildthyme has gone and locked herself up in a nunnery on the savage world of Artaris. Here she is discovered by the Doctor and the reasonably brutal warlord Grayvorn. Together - with a peculiar nun they pick up en route - they must travel the forests and swamps of this ghastly world in Iris's double decker bus in order to tussle - to the death - with a horde of flesh-eating zombies for a mysterious and holy relic of unfathomable value and questionable pedigree.

But what is the Mother Superior's part in all this?

Comments

This is the first in the Excelis series.

Anthony Stewart Head is probably most famous for his role as Rupert Giles on Buffy The Vampire Slayer. Katy Manning, playing Paul Magrs' infamous creation Iris Wildthyme making her audio debut, previously appeared in Doctor Who as the Third Doctor's companion, Jo Grant during the early 1970's.

The second CD contains a bonus extra of the complete version of David Darlington's Excelis theme used during the drama.
