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...
Cast
- Tenth Doctor
- Layla
References
Races and species
- The Doctor mentions the Silurians.
Notes
- The announcement of this release in early 2010 appears to have taken some by surprise, as BBC Audio, as well as Doctor Who Magazine had promoted the preceding audio, BBCR: The Last Voyage as being the final Tenth Doctor audio adventure.
- This release is unusual as compared to the other new series audios in that it features the Doctor narrating the story in the first person. It also takes the form of a drama more than an audio book, similar to Big Finish Productions' Companion Chronicles series.
- Though never explicitly stated, it is heavily implied that the Hush was a weapon built by the Time Lords for use against the Daleks in the Last Great Time War.
