The script is co-written by Tim Treloar and Nicholas Briggs. Treloar said: “History is one of my passions, and particularly the history of the Second World War. Even though the Dunkirk evacuation is one of the most famous parts of the war, the rearguard – the soldiers left behind to shield the retreating British forces – is a not-often-told story. It was lovely working with Nick as a co-writer. I pitched the story to him, and he said, go on then, write something. I ended up writing all six episodes, and then giving it to him. And so Nick took my script away, shaved off a lot of my waffling, and turned it into a brilliant Doctor Who story.”
The Third Doctor Adventures: Operation Vengeance is available to pre-order now for £19.99 for the download and £24.99 for the download and limited edition Collector’s Edition box set.
