Doctor Who: Neverland (#33)
|
|
|
The Web of Time is stretched to breaking. History is leaking like a sieve.
In the Citadel of Gallifrey, the Time Lords fear the end of everything
that is, everything that was... everything that will be.
The Doctor holds the Time Lords' only hope - but exactly what what
lengths will the Celestial Intervention Agency go to in their efforts to
retrieve something important from within his TARDIS? What has caused
Imperiatrix Romanadvoratrelundar to declare war on the rest of creation?
And can an old nursey rhyme about a monster called Zagreus really be
coming true?
The answers can only be found outside the bounds of the universe itself,
in a place that history forgot. In the wastegrounds of eternity. In the
Neverland.

Episode One:
The hologram explains that he journeyed into the Neverworld, where he
became trapped and left this message for those that followed. He
placed his body in a zero cabinet nearby, with instructions that if he
lived, he should want to be revived and returned home - to Gallifrey...
Episode Two:
Charley finds herself in the TARDIS where the Doctor tells her that
all the Anti-Time is now contained within him and that it is
appropriate he should take his title from the work of an imagination,
willed to power by the undying anger of an unreal race. He pushes
Charley away when she tries to help. He tells her he is not the
Doctor. He has become he who sits inside your head, he who lives
among the dead, he who sees you in your bed and eats you when you're
sleeping. He has become Zagreus...
The Doctor: 'I'm the Doctor, and whatever happens, whatever
the odds, I never, ever, never give up.'
Charley: 'Born on the day the Titanic sank, died on the R101.
Poor tragic, little Charlotte Pollard, her life snuffed out before it
began.'
The Doctor: 'The spider in the web of time, that old chestnut!'
The Doctor: 'Something with no past, no present, no future.
A perpetuity of meaningless chaos. A now with no beginning or end.'
Vansell: 'History is leaking like a sieve.'
Romana: 'The web of time in shreds, time collapsing in on
itself, the fall of Gallifrey, the corruption of the oldest
civilisation. Chaos and anarchy loosed upon us all. A new order, a
twisted one.'
Romana: 'His one abiding characteristic, whichever body he
wears, whatever gibberish he speaks, however erratically he acts, is
his unerring sense for what is right. I trust him absolutely, and
I always have.'
Neverland marks Alan Barnes'
second script for the Doctor Who audio range and is the final story
of Big Finish's second 'season' of Eighth Doctor audios. Featuring the
return of Lalla Ward as Romana, and
Don Warrington as Rassilon,
Neverland was billed as ending this second run of the Eighth
Doctor's adventures on "an explosive high".
It features two feature length episodes, one per CD, as opposed to the
standard four episodes with two per disc. This was due to the extremely
long length of the story.
