The King of the Dead

Short Trips #5.5

Released: 5 May 2015

Listened: 4/19/20

I’m placing this here because it takes place in 1982, which is where Tegan says they were just before “The Lions of Trafalgar.” The TARDIS is aiming for the 2012 Olympics, but ends up in an interactive theater presentation. What’s important, though, is a combination of a disgruntled former UNIT soldier and Nyssa working through her feelings toward the Master having killed her father. Ultimately, it ends up being somewhat strange, and the Doctor not doing very much. Sarah Sutton’s impression of Janet Fielding is nearly spot-on, though.
