I'd suggested Unearthly child to Survival on the basis that Anthony Ainley
was playing The Master in Survival but Tremas in Keeper of Traken and that
this opened up a few links. Mea culpa on this one, I'm afraid.

However, if looking for a handy on-line guide to the cast and crew of the
audios try Simon Catlow's excellent review website
http://www.tertiary.consoleroom.btinternet.co.uk/castcrew.htm (for complete
listing of cast members) and
http://www.tertiary.consoleroom.btinternet.co.uk/audiotitles.htm (for
listing of audio releases). If audios are allowed we might require a
special Zagreus rule to prevent the use of Zagreus, as the anniversary story
contained a number of regulars not playing their normal characters.
