'''''The Shoreditch Intervention''''' was the fourth and final story in the audio anthology ''[[Susan's War (audio anthology)|Susan's War]]'', produced by [[Big Finish Productions]]. It was written by [[Alan Barnes]].

[[Earth]], [[1963]] is a nexus point in the [[Last Great Time War|Time War]], but the timelines must be negotiated carefully. Mods and rockers are not the only dangers on the streets of [[Shoreditch]].

== Plot ==

[[Susan Foreman|Susan]] arrives on a [[planet]] that she was not expecting and meets [[Lehena (Dalek duplicate)|Lehena]], who says that she does not represent the disbanded [[Celestial Intervention Agency]] and whispers one of Susan's names to her. Lehena shows her that they are in the past of [[Arcadia (city)|Arcadia]] and asks if she would avert the [[Last Great Time War|Time War]] if she could, saying that she and [[First Doctor|her grandfather]] were responsible for bringing it about in [[1963]].

Lehena tells Susan that her grandfather had returned for the [[Hand of Omega]] [[Seventh Doctor|in a later incarnation]] and used it to destroy a version of [[Skaro]], a massive escalation in the build-up to the Time War. She says that Susan could use [[Susan Foreman's Time Ring|a Time Ring]] to follow her younger self in the slipstream of [[the Doctor's TARDIS]], tricking the [[time lock]] and allowing her to go to [[Earth]].

Franco and JP taunt each other as they race and come to the attention of the [[police]], who give chase.

Susan arrives in [[London]] and is almost hit by Franco and JP, so she uses her sonic wand to make JP's scooter fall apart. She leaves to avoid the police and JP tells them that Susan had been the one riding the scooter. Franco manages to escape and returns to Alex at the café, ordering [[coffee]]s and going to play [[pinball]] to establish an [[alibi]]. Susan arrives there as well and finds that it is [[7 August]], which is later than she was hoping; she sees and confronts Franco, telling him what has happened to JP. Alex goes to see if he is alright.

* The Doctor claims he gave up his [[chameleon circuit]] to disguise the [[Hand of Omega]]'s container, which is why his TARDIS became stuck as a [[police box]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[An Unearthly Child (TV story)|An Unearthly Child]]'')

* The Doctor hid his [[Five Hundred Year Diary|secret diary]] in the lower compartment of the [[astral map]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Web Planet (TV story)|The Web Planet]]'', et al.)

* An execution party of [[Special Weapons Dalek]]s seemingly obliterates the Doctor, ([[TV]]: ''[[Remembrance of the Daleks (TV story)|Remembrance of the Daleks]]'') but he survives by teleporting at the moment he should die. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Witch's Familiar (TV story)|The Witch's Familiar]]'')

* Information obtained from the [[Dalek agent (The Uncertain Shore)|Brancheerian Dalek agent]] has revealed the Daleks have a heightened interest in Earth. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Uncertain Shore (audio story)|The Uncertain Shore]]'')
