Doctor Who: Storm Warning (#16)
|
|
|
October, 1930. His Majesty's Airship, the R101, sets off on her maiden
voyage to the fathest-flung reaches of the British Empire, carrying the
brightest lights of the Imperial fleet. Carrying the hopes and dreams of a
breathless nation.
Not to mention a ruthless spy with a top-secret mission, a mysterious
passenger who appears nowhere on the crew list, a would-be adventuress
destined for the Singapore Hilton.... and a Time Lord from the planet
Gallifrey.
There's a storm coming. There's something unspeakable, something with
wings, crawling across the stern. Thousands of feet high in the
blackening sky, the crew of the R101 brace themselves. When the storm
breaks, their lives won't be all that's at stake...
The future of the galaxy will be hanging by a thread.

Episode One:
As Rathbone tends to the mysterious passenger, he is distracted by
something outside of the airship. As he gets nearer the glass of the
window is shattered as he is attacked by the Vortisaur...
Episode Two:
Something outside the ship is getting closer. Charley can't believe how
big it is, but Tamworth is pleased as everything is on time. When she
asks the Doctor what it is, he responds by saying that you might call
it a flying saucer...
Episode Three:
The death of the lawgiver frees the Triskele from their old ways. The
Uncreator Prime is no longer bound, and the Uncreator Prime tells
Tamworth that their States are now at war, and orders the uncreators to
kill them all...
Episode Four:
Despite some misgivings, the Doctor agrees to let Charley accompany him
on his travels, and they fly back on the newly named Vortisaur, Ramsey,
back to the TARDIS...
The Doctor: 'What a terrible way to never die.'
Lord Tamworth: 'And exactly to what end have you compromised the
single most important flight yet attempted by an Englishman?'
Charley: 'For the thrill of it sir, why else?'
The Doctor: 'You're not supposed to be here, are you Charley?'
Charley: 'I'm an explorer, an Edwardian Adventuress!'
Charley: 'Doctor, does this mean there are other worlds, past the
sun?' The Doctor: 'A million planets circling a millions suns,
Charley. Where the starlight makes colours which human eyes have never
seen.'
The Doctor: 'You feel that pounding in your heart? That tightness
in the pit of your stomach? The blood rushing to your head? Do You know
what that is? That's adventure! The thrill and the fear and the joy of
stepping into the unknown. That's why we're all here, that's why we're
alive!'
Storm Warning is the first Big Finish Eighth Doctor audio, and marks
Paul McGann's return to the role he played in
the 1996 TV Movie. Also present in the cast is
Gareth Thomas, who is probably most famous
for playing freedom fighter Roj Blake in Blake's 7 and would later
go on to star in Big Finish's Dalek Empire
series.
