Publisher's summary

Hello, I'm the Doctor. And, if you can hear this, then one of us is going to die.'

At the bottom of the sea, in the wreck of a floating radio station, a lost recording has been discovered. After careful restoration, it is played for the first time - to reveal something incredible. It is the voice of the Doctor, broadcasting from Radio Bravo in 1966. He has travelled to Earth in search of the Hush - a terrible weapon that kills, silences and devours anything that makes noise - and has tracked it to a boat crewed by a team of pirate DJs. With the help of feisty Liverpudlian Layla and some groovy pop music, he must trap the Hush and destroy it - before it can escape and destroy the world...

  • When Layla discovers the Doctor isn't human, the Doctor asks her if that doesn't surprise her. She replies "When you've met The Beatles nothing surprises you". The Beatles were an important part of 1960s culture.
  • The Doctor compares the destruction The Hush will leave behind to Pinky and Perky by saying "Seriously, if that thing gets transmitted, it will be worse than a Pinky and Perky B-Side".
  • Tommo figures non-stop music played on their radio station will be a success, saying the catch phrase "Thunderbirds Are Go!". Thunderbirds was a popular puppet show in England in the 1960s.
