Running Out of Time

Short Trips #1.8

Released: 5 November 2010

Listened: 10/27/21

This very short Short Trip is one of the first, read by India Fisher, although Charley isn’t in this one. There’s also nothing to indicate it should take place at this point, but also nothing to say it doesn't. This is one of those where the point-of-view character doesn’t know the Doctor, and so we see him from the outside. In this case, the protagonist has also lost his memory, which makes things awkward for the Doctor. Exactly what happened to the poor guy isn’t clear, although it seems to involve magic. It also has a bit of a downer ending, but that happens sometimes in these very short ones.
