First Doctor adventure The Rescue will be available in a collectable vinyl audio adaptation for Record Store Day 2026.

The narrated TV soundtrack of the 1965 serial is presented for the first time on 140g red translucent vinyl in an illustrated outer sleeve depicting the mysterious Koquillion, plus an illustrated inner sleeve which includes full cast and credits.

Comprising two episodes, The Powerful Enemy and Desperate Measures, the story features the debut of companion Vicki, played by Maureen O’Brien who now provides newly recorded linking narration and a bonus behind-the-scenes interview.

The Doctor (William Hartnell), Ian (William Russell) and Barbara (Jacqueline Hill) discover a crashed spaceship on the planet Dido in the 25th Century. Survivors Vicki (Maureen O’Brien) and Bennett (Ray Barrett) are menaced by a terrifying native named Koquillion – or are they? The travellers risk their lives to discover the truth.

Record Store Day is an annual event where thousands of independent record shops all over the world come together to celebrate their unique culture. The Rescue will only be available from participating stores from April 18.
