Doctor Who, "Scavenger"
Big Finish, 14 March 2014
On 14 March 2014 Big Finish released the Doctor Who audio adventure “Scavenger” featuring The 6th Doctor, Colin Baker. The synopsis reads:
“Thursday 28 May 2071: the day the Anglo-Indian Salvage 2 rocket launches. Its mission: to clean up space; to remove from Earth’s orbit over a century’s worth of man-made junk…
From the viewing window of a nearby space station, the Doctor and Flip have a unique view of Salvage 2 as it sets about its essential task – and of the disaster that unfolds when Salvage 2 encounters something it’s not been programmed to deal with. Something not of human manufacture…
Back on Earth, the Doctor fights to save Flip from becoming part of a 500-year tragedy being played out in orbit, hundreds of miles above. And millions will die if he fails.”

Big Finish is known for “producing high-quality audio drama” “based on popular TV series such as Doctor Who” and others.
Now that is the public relations view. (Ed.) In my opinion, that view is rather understated.
If you’re a Doctor Who fan, “Scavenger” is an excellent ‘listen’. As are other Big Finish products.
If you’re another type of fan, there is a nice Easter egg included in the audio drama. Salvage 2???
“I’ve been wondering. What happened to Salvage 1?” The Doctor
“Some Moon project from a hundred years ago. Nothing to do with us.” Jyoti Cutler
Well.
“Jettison Control this is Salvage 1. The Vulture has landed!”
Melanie “Mel” Slozar from the Lunar surface, Salvage (January 1979)
A very nice tribute to the 35th anniversary of the TV movie Salvage and the TV series that followed.
Thank you Big Finish.

"It's no secret that Japanese science fiction was greatly influenced by the Western sci-fi authors of the '50s. That became the foundation of Japanese sci-fi. All science-fiction writers were influenced by the "Big Three": Arthur C. Clarke, Isaac Asimov, and Robert A. Heinlein. That started with my generation. You won't find an author who wasn't touched by Clarke, Asimov, and Heinlein."
