Doctor Who - The Rescue | Record Store Day Exclusive
Doctor Who: The Rescue (Original BBC TV Soundtrack) brings the First Doctor’s classic 1965 adventure to vinyl for the very first time. Released as a Record Store Day 2026 exclusive, this narrated television soundtrack faithfully recreates the original BBC serial by combining the surviving television audio with newly recorded linking narration by Maureen O'Brien, who made her debut as companion Vicki in this story.
Originally broadcast as a two-part serial comprising "The Powerful Enemy" and "Desperate Measures," The Rescue follows the Doctor, Ian, and Barbara as they arrive on the planet Dido in the 25th century. There they encounter the stranded Vicki and Bennett, whose lives are overshadowed by the mysterious and terrifying Koquillion. As the Doctor uncovers the truth behind the alien menace, the story introduces one of the First Doctor era's most memorable companions.
This soundtrack features the complete narrated TV audio across both episodes, enhanced with newly recorded narration by Maureen O'Brien to bridge missing visuals from the original broadcasts. The release also includes an exclusive behind-the-scenes interview in which O'Brien reflects on her time in Doctor Who and her acting career.
Presented on 140-gram translucent "Rescue Red" vinyl, the release is housed in a beautifully illustrated outer sleeve depicting Koquillion, accompanied by a printed inner sleeve featuring the complete cast and production credits. Released sixty years after its original transmission, Doctor Who: The Rescue is an essential collectible for fans of classic Doctor Who, BBC archive releases, and television soundtrack history.
