Revision as of 13:44, 23 January 2013
This article's constitutent stories, if titled, need to be named and articles created for each individual story. The infobox navigation would then need to be altered to take into account these individual stories. The Shadow Heart (audio story) would also be affected by this nav switch, as navigation is by story, not by release. See the way that 100 (audio anthology) is handled for reference.
These omissions are so great that the article's factual accuracy has been compromised. Check out the discussion page and revision history for further clues about what needs to be updated in this article.
1001 Nights was the December 2012 release of Big Finish Productions' Doctor Who monthly range.
Publisher's summary
A long time ago, two travellers came from far away...
In the perfumed palace of an omnipotent Sultan, a girl must tell stories to keep the man she cares about from a cruel and horrible death. She spins tales of distant lands she has visited with a mysterious traveller, of fabulous creatures and fantastic adventures – and of a blue box that can travel in time and space.
Meanwhile, in the dungeons below the throne room, there lurks a secret which will bring down the kingdom – perhaps even the universe.
Can the Doctor and Nyssa escape from this never-ending story before the final chapter spells their end?
