Night Thoughts (audio story): Difference between revisions

Publisher's summary

'I warn you, things could get very nasty here before they get better.'

A remote Scottish mansion. Five bickering academics are haunted by ghosts from their past. Reluctantly they offer shelter to the Doctor and his companions Ace and Hex.

Hex, already troubled by a vivid nightmare, is further disturbed by the night-time appearance of a whistling, hooded apparition.

Ace tries to befriend the young housemaid, Sue. Sue knows secrets. She knows why the academics have assembled here, and she knows why they are all so afraid. But Sue's lips are sealed -- she prefers to communicate through her disturbing toy, Happy the Rabbit.

And then the killing begins. Gruesome deaths that lead the Doctor and his friends to discover the grisly truth behind the academics' plans, and -- as the ghosts of the past become ghosts of the present -- to recognise that sometimes death can be preferable to life...

References

Ace's maternal grandmother, Kathleen Dudman, died in 1973. She remembered that her mother Audrey cried for days afterwards.
Hex was raised by his father and maternal grandmother, the mother of Cassie Scholefield whom the Sixth Doctor and Evelyn Smythe had encountered in 1999 and 2004 (BFA: Project: Twilight, BFA: Project: Lazarus). He believed that his grandmother was actually his mother until he was six years old.

Notes

Night Thoughts was originally a story that would have been part of Season 27, had Doctor Who continued beyond Survival. It would have been a three-part story.^[1]
This audio drama was recorded on 7 and 8 November 2005.

Continuity

The Doctor and Ace met her maternal grandmother Kathleen Dudman at Maiden's Point in 1943. (DW: The Curse of Fenric)
