Main Range #269: Shadow of the Daleks 1

Main Range #269

Released: 1 October 2020

Listened: 10/16/20

This one is even more abstract than the previous two, in which the Doctor ends up in a bookshop-slash-pub with a handful of customers, but he’s unable to remember his name or what he was doing. There’s a bit of a feeling of “Midnight,” in that everybody seems to have something they’re hiding, and nobody trusts one another. The same actors recur again from the previous story, except this time nobody notices the resemblance. There are indications that the Time War is raging, but the Daleks don’t really appear at all in this one.
