Publisher's summary
There's a house across the waters at Ely where an old woman tells a strange story.
About a kind of night constable called Sara Kingdom. And her friends, the Doctor and Steven. About a journey they made to a young couple's home, and the nightmarish things that were found there. About the follies of youth and selfishness. And the terrible things even the most well-meaning of us can inflict on each other.
Hear the old woman's story. Then decide her fate.

References
- In the far future, Hollywood has been forgotten.
Notes
- This story was originally entitled Dream Home.[1]
- Dialogue within the story calls into question how trustworthy the narrator actually is. Thus, it is difficult to know just how accurately the Doctor, Sara and Steven are portrayed.
- This story has some commonality with both the comic story Funhouse and the audio story The Chimes of Midnight in that the key antagonist is an intelligent house.
- This is an unusual Companion Chronicle in that the returning actor from Doctor Who portrays the nominal villain of the piece.
- This audio drama was recorded on 8 September 2008 at the Moat Studios.
- This story is set between episodes seven and eight of The Daleks' Master Plan.
- This story is told from Sara's perspective.
Continuity
- Sara recalls being convinced the Doctor, Steven and Bret Vyon were criminals and killing Bret. (TV: The Daleks' Master Plan)
- Sara tells Robert that during her travels with the Doctor and Steven, she encountered invisible creatures, arrived in polluted Liverpool and visited Hollywood in 1921 where a film director tried to hire her to replace the leading lady, (TV: The Daleks' Master Plan) that a small boy, who was also named Robert, died in her arms on Mars (PROSE: The Little Drummer Boy) and that she encountered a withered old man who was trapped in the workings of a clock. (AUDIO: The Guardian of the Solar System)
