Neverland is a Big Finish Productions audio drama based on the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who .
As the paradox from the R-101 airship starts to unravel time and space, The Doctor and Charley, together with President Romana, go beyond the confines of our Universe to a world populated by "neverpeople", those who exist outside of time and space. It is in this Neverland that the Doctor uncovers the origins of a legend from the earliest days of Gallifrey's history that tells the story of a powerful Time Lord and a creature from an ancient nursery rhyme known as Zagreus.
In the Whovian timeline, this story takes place between The Time of the Daleks and Zagreus
Romana, short for Romanadvoratrelundar, is a fictional character in the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who. A Time Lord from the planet Gallifrey, she is a companion to the Fourth Doctor.
Big Finish Productions is a British company that produces books and audio plays based, primarily, on science fiction properties.

Rassilon is a fictional character in the British science fiction television series Doctor Who.

Gary Russell is a British freelance writer, producer and former child actor. As a writer, he is best known for his work in connection with the television series Doctor Who and its spin-offs in other media. As an actor, he is best known for playing Dick Kirrin in the British 1978 television series The Famous Five.
K9, occasionally written K-9, is the name of several fictional robotic canines in the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who, first appearing in 1977. K9 has also been a central character in three of the series' television spin-offs: the one-off K-9 and Company (1981), The Sarah Jane Adventures (2007–2011) and K9 (2009–2010). Although not originally intended to be a recurring character in the series, K9 was kept in the show following his first appearance because he was expected to be popular with younger audiences. There have been at least four separate K9 units in the series, with the first two being companions of the Fourth Doctor. Voice actor John Leeson has provided the character's voice in most of his appearances, except during season 17 of Doctor Who, in which David Brierley temporarily did so. The character was created by Bob Baker and Dave Martin, to whom rights to the character still belong; consequently, Baker's spin-off series K9, which is not BBC-produced, could not directly reference events or characters from Doctor Who, though it attempted to be a part of that continuity.
