'''''{{StoryTitle}}''''' was the second story in the [[Series 2 (8DA)|second series]] of the ''[[Eighth Doctor Adventures (audio series)|Eighth Doctor Adventures]]'', produced by [[Big Finish Productions]]. It was written by [[Jonathan Morris]] and featured [[Paul McGann]] as the [[Eighth Doctor]] and [[Sheridan Smith]] as [[Lucie Miller]]. | |||
It featured a parody of ''[[Top Gear]]'' called ''[[Max Warp]]'' with [[Graeme Garden]], [[James Fleet]] and [[Duncan James]]' characters [[Geoffrey Vantage]], [[O'Reilley]] and [[Timbo]] each parodying the presenters from the post-2002 line-up of ''Top Gear''. | |||

== | == Publisher's summary == | ||
''Welcome to Max Warp! Broadcasting live from the [[Sirius Inter-G Cruiser Show]]. Hosted by outspoken columnist and media personality [[Geoffrey Vantage]], with spaceship-guru-extraordinaire [[O'Reilley]] and daredevil pilot [[Timbo]] "the Ferret".'' | |||
When a test flight of the new [[Kith Sunstorm]] ends in disaster, the [[Sirius Exhibition Station]] is plunged into a web of [[murder]] and [[intrigue]]. Someone — or something — is trying to re-ignite a war between the [[Varlon Empire]] and the [[Kith Oligarchy]]. | |||
As the fate of the galaxy hangs in the balance, only two investigators, [[Eighth Doctor|the Doctor]] and [[Lucie Miller|Lucie]], can hope to uncover the [[truth]]. | |||
So strap yourself in, engage thrust, and prepare for... [[Max Warp]]! | |||

== Notes == | |||
* This story features a musical performance by [[Barnaby Edwards]] and [[Nicholas Briggs]] of Big Finish. | |||
* Elements in this story parody the show ''[[Top Gear]]'', including the accident of {{w|Richard Hammond}} aka the Hamster. In this story, it is Timbo, a.k.a. the Ferret, who has an accident flying at high speeds, precipitating an interstellar incident. Geoffrey Vantage's sexist, racist, and anti-environmental opinions are an exaggerated version of Jeremy Clarkson's controversial remarks. O'Reilly's affinity for topics that bore other spaceship enthusiasts is similar to James May's style which his ''Top Gear'' presenters often tease him for. | |||
* An advertisement for [[Galactic Salvage Insurance]] can be heard near the beginning of the story. According to [[TV]]: ''[[Nightmare of Eden (TV story)|Nightmare of Eden]]'' the company was founded in [[2068]] and liquidated in [[2096]], placing this story some time between those years. | |||
