Renaissance of the Daleks is a Big Finish Productions audio drama based on the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who.
Plot
The Doctor leaves Nyssa on Earth, not knowing that she's in Rhodes during the Crusades, then ends up in the American Civil War. The Doctor meets General Tillington, an American general that has been spying on the TARDIS with actinoids. The Doctor finds out that The Dalek Invasion of Earth hasn't happened and a new Dalek invasion is coming very soon. The Doctor must try to put history right, but how can he convince General Tillington? The Doctor heads to the TARDIS. With the help of Tillington's nephew Wilton, can he save Nyssa and her friends Mulberry and Floyd from getting blown up? And can he escape the deadly "Toy Daleks"?

Notes
- This is the first release in Big Finish's monthly Doctor Who range to feature Big Finish's redesigned covers, a style which had previously been used for the Companion Chronicles and the BBC7 Eighth Doctor Stories. Television companions who star in the story are now credited alongside the Doctor's actor (in this case, Sarah Sutton is credited alongside Peter Davison). Audio companions are still credited alongside the guest actors.
- The name Temporal Interocitor is a reference to the movie This Island Earth. The temporal interocitor built here is a primitive communication device for contacting people in different times. The Doctor speculates that someday he may perfect the technology, and does so by the start of the new TV series.
- Christopher H. Bidmead felt that changes made during the editing process were significant enough that he could not claim to be the story's sole writer. Hence, the "from a story by" credit.
Continuity
- The Eighth Doctor give the interocitor to Lucie Miller, which she uses in her titular story.
- The Mutant Phase also features the Fifth Doctor and Nyssa trying to stop the Daleks from changing the historical circumstances of The Dalek Invasion of Earth.
- The HADS (Hostile Action Displacement System) was first used in The Krotons.
