Review Click here for the Tertiary Console Room Review - May Contain Spoilers! Doctor Who Unbound: He Jests At Scars... (#04) By Gary Russell From The Back Cover... What if...the Valeyard had won? The thing about meddling with time is that one moment something is real, the next, it's been erased. Probability become just a possibility. Established truth becomes a theoretical falsehood. Like dominoes, as one timeline falls, the others come cascading down around it. You can engineer new timelines, new possibilities but before long, the distinction between what is, what was, what might be and what never can be becomes blurred. Out of this grow myths, lies and legends. The Doctor was one such legend, but no one knows whether he truly ever existed. Well, not now they don't. The Mighty One, ruling the multiverses from the eternal city of Chronopolis has made sure of that.

The Valeyard: 'What good is power if it sits around with no one making use of it.' The Valeyard: 'Rest assured my dear, I'm not the man I once was and so I'm coming to claim that power...'

It features both Bonnie Langford as a Doctor-less Mel, and Juliet Warner reprising her role as Ellie Martin from the Sarah Jane Smith audio series. Gary Russell is the director of many Doctor Who stories as well as scripting the first Big Finish online drama, Real Time.
