UNIT: The Wasting
Big Finish audio production
A deadly flu-like infection is sweeping the planet. Its first cases
appeared in Britain but now millions are infected worldwide and there is
no sign of a cure. The emergency services can't cope with what the
press have dubbed a plague…
Under attack from all sides, UNIT in Britain is in disarray. It faces a
stark choice - to close its doors and concede defeat, or to fight back,
whatever the cost… and the injured Colonel Emily Chaudhry knows UNIT
has never backed down from a battle…
If UNIT is to fight back, it's going to need the services of its
missing commander, Colonel Brimmicombe-Wood, and the experience of the
Brigadier, who can never refuse when duty calls…
written by Iain McLaughlin & Claire Bartlett

Notes
The Wasting went through a lot of cutting. We wrote the first draft, read it through, and thought it overran, so we trimmed it. When it went back and forth between Claire and I and producer Ian Farrinfton and director Nicola Bryant, it just kept running long. In the end, a lot of trimming and rewriting brought it down to 70 minutes, Most of the plot that was lost concerned the plague storyline.
