Something is afoot in the lonely Cornish village of Merrymaid Bay. Rumours of dead men working in the tin mines have sent a chill through the community, and it's up to the Doctor and Charley to get to the bottom of the mystery.
Can the legends of the Bucca that haunts the mines be true? And just what awesome power do the Doctor's greatest enemies - the Daleks! - threaten to unleash upon the universe?

Big Finish executive producer, and voice of the Daleks, Nicholas Briggs said: "There was a real electricity in the room during these performances. The reception we got was the sort of thing that could really go to your head - proper rock star welcomes! And then from the moment the shows started, the audience were riveted, picking up on every little nuance. It made the whole thing such a joy.
"I remember, as a teenager, being delighted with live recordings of Monty Python stage shows. There's something really compelling about hearing a live performance, with audience reactions and performers pitching it up for a large, appreciative crowd. The enthusiasm in the auditorium somehow transmits through the recording, making you part of something joyous.
"I've had a listen to the live recordings of The Stuff of Legend, and that's exactly what happens here. For those who attended, it'll be a great way to relive the memories, and for those who couldn't get to see the show onstage, this will capture so much of the atmosphere and sense of occasion."
Director Barnaby Edwards added: "Directing a Doctor Who audio adventure is always fun, but it's done without any feedback from the listener. Not so The Stuff of Legend live, where the reactions of the audience dictated the pace and delivery of each performance. The live recording is a beast of a very different colour from the studio version: new cast members, new lines, new action, new live sound effects, new feel. I can't wait for people to hear it!"
