In 1979, 20 years after it was set up, Project Tic-Toc was shut down by the American authorities. All hope of retrieving scientists Tony Newman and Doug Phillips, lost in the Time Tunnel in 1968, has been abandoned.
In 2025, four people are brought together by a need to reopen the Arizona base and reactivate the Time Tunnel in secret. From there, they must try to find Doug or Tony because something they have done in the past has changed the present—and not for the better. The world is now under the power of Rakervia.

"Irwin Allen’s The Time Tunnel had the potential to be the most interesting and clever of all his shows, but the story never got a resolution – and that was the launchpad for this new 2025 version," said Gary Russell, producer and script editor of the new series from Big Finish. "Time travel is also dangerous – as the great writer Ray Bradbury once warned, be careful not to tread on the butterflies..."
Robert Napton, SVP & Publisher, Legendary Comics, added: "I first started listening to Big Finish's Doctor Who audios at the Gallifrey One convention 30 years ago, so it's been fun to work with Big Finish and our friends at Synthesis to bring another beloved classic series back to the modern era. I am glad producer Gary Russell, and executive producers Jason Haigh-Ellery and Nicholas Briggs, are so passionate about returning to the world of Irwin Allen's The Time Tunnel."
