Big Finish ♥ New Who
The Ninth Doctor episode “Dalek” was adapted by Rob Shearman from his Sixth Doctor audio Jubilee. Despite some basic similarities, though, the stories are very different (Jubilee, for example, manages to be both funnier and much, much darker).
The Whoniverse brand Jubilee Pizza (best known as the preferred pizza of Torchwood Three) was originally created as a nod to Shearman’s audio.
