But while one Doctor faces both his past and his future on the Frontier, another finds himself on Earth in 1996, where the seeds of the empire are only just being sown. The past is meeting the present, cause is meeting effect, and the TARDIS crew is about to be caught in the crossfire.

prose stub

Interference - Book Two (The Hour of the Geek) was the second volume of Lawrence Miles' two-part multi-Doctor novel Interference. Like the first volume, it was released by BBC Books on 2 August 1999 and featured the Eighth and Third Doctors alongside their companions Sam Jones, Fitz Kreiner, and Sarah Jane Smith.

This was the final book to feature Sam Jones as a regular companion, and it includes one of the only prose-based regenerations of the Doctor.

Publisher's summary[[edit] | [edit source]]

They call it the Dead Frontier. It's as far from home as the human race ever went, the planet where mankind dumped the waste of its thousand-year empire and left its culture out in the sun to rot.

But while one Doctor faces both his past and his future on the Frontier, another finds himself on Earth in 1996, where the seeds of the empire are only just being sown. The past is meeting the present, cause is meeting effect, and the TARDIS crew is about to be caught in the crossfire.

The Third Doctor. The Eighth Doctor. Sam. Fitz. Sarah Jane Smith. Soon, one of them will be dead; one of them will belong to the enemy; and one of them will be something less than human...

What Happened on Dust (Part Two)[[edit] | [edit source]]

Worldbuilding[[edit] | [edit source]]

Books[[edit] | [edit source]]

The Doctor[[edit] | [edit source]]

  • When the Doctor was younger, some of his friends learnt the skill of internal chronometry.
  • The Eighth Doctor spends ten days trapped in Saudi Arabia.
  • The Third Doctor is shot by Magdelana Bishop with a shotgun and regenerates on Dust. In the process, not only is his history altered, but he is infected by Faction Paradox's biodata virus.

Drugs and medicines[[edit] | [edit source]]

  • Kode smokes cigarettes while on Earth but isn't quite sure why.

Faction Paradox[[edit] | [edit source]]

  • The Justinian was the ship that originally brought the first settlers to Ordifica. It was used by the Faction Paradox to take them away from the colony prior to its destruction by the High Council.
Laura Tobin, Guest and Fitz Kreiner were all together on this ship.

Gallifrey[[edit] | [edit source]]

Gallifreyan technology[[edit] | [edit source]]

  • The Cold is the Time Lord warship's computer system. By releasing it, it detonates the ship (which is a planet-sized bomb) and therefore destroys the Earth.
  • During one of the narrative constructs Sam experiences in the Media, the Doctor mentions a time ring.

Individual Gallifreyans and Time Lords[[edit] | [edit source]]

Groups[[edit] | [edit source]]

Individuals[[edit] | [edit source]]

  • Sam mentions wanting to see Fitz, saying, "We did have sex and everything," though adding, "It was a parallel-universe-alternative-reality kind of thing."
  • The "Jane Fonda" Iris makes a brief appearance in Sarah's Seeing Eye documentary as UNIT's special scientific advisor.
  • Fitz Kreiner joins the Faction Paradox and ends up becoming Father Kreiner.
  • Kode is restored by the TARDIS using a remembrance tank to become what the TARDIS remembered Fitz to be.
  • The Doctor bought Sarah her stuffed owl at a jumble sale in Brighton in 1948.
  • Sarah can't remember the Doctor's regeneration properly.
  • Sarah isn't sure if she was on Dust.
  • Sarah reflects on the two incidents where she met the Doctor (or the things related to the Doctor) in 1983 and 1995.
  • After leaving Ordifica, Nathaniel Guest goes by the name of Guest while on Earth.
  • Laura Tobin used to crack her knuckles. She gave Fitz the nickname "code-boy".
  • Father Kreiner is who Fitz Kreiner became after a century (or more) with the Faction Paradox and the Remote.

Locations[[edit] | [edit source]]

  • The Doctor's TARDIS was left in the city of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
  • Anathema is the Remote's city, located on the side of a Time Lord warship.

Objects[[edit] | [edit source]]

Planets[[edit] | [edit source]]

  • I.M. Foreman's show once stopped off on New Mars.
  • I.M. Foreman's favourite planet is Mars.

Species[[edit] | [edit source]]

  • Sarah's memories of the Doctor are a bit fuzzy. She keeps getting her Krynoids mixed up with her Pescatons.

TARDIS[[edit] | [edit source]]

Technology[[edit] | [edit source]]

Theories and concepts[[edit] | [edit source]]

Dates[[edit] | [edit source]]

  • Anathema 1799 is out of reach by the High Council.
  • Between 1799 and 1800 the Remote build the transmission tower on Anathema.
  • By 1801 on Anathema Fitz and the rest of the Remote are sterile.
  • The 20th century is when Earth starts to turn itself into a major galactic power.
  • The events on Dust occur a thousand years after the fall of the Earth Empire.

Vehicles[[edit] | [edit source]]

Notes[[edit] | [edit source]]

  • This novel is notable for being the only novel to outright change the circumstances of one of the Doctor's regenerations, with the Third Doctor dying on Dust, instead of Earth. While it was made clear that most of the Doctor's timeline after the change proceeded as normal, the effects the change had on the events of TV: Planet of the Spiders, were not made clear. PROSE: The Ancestor Cell implies that the Doctor's involvement was averted, as the Eighth Doctor encountered spiders aboard the Edifice, and had the feeling he should fear them, but didn't know why. Fortunately, thanks to the events in The Ancestor Cell, the original timeline was restored, with the Third Doctor never being diverted to Dust. This has the effect of leaving the true version of events on the planet, involving I.M. Foreman, unknown.

For the purposes of this list, a "regeneration story" is one in which a regeneration is actually and initially depicted. For this reason The War Games is not included below, even though it is commonly thought of as a "regeneration story". It doesn't actually include a clear scene of regeneration, and the preponderance of stories in other media confirms that the Second Doctor did not regenerate at the end of it.
Additionally, immediate post-regeneration stories, like the 2005 Children in Need Special Born Again — and ones like Castrovalva, where the regeneration sequence was replayed — are not included.
v • e
Ogron stories
For the purposes of this list, an "Ogron story" is one in which one living, authentic Ogron plays a part within the confines of the story, outside of flashbacks to previous stories and cliffhangers that lead into the following story.
