'''''Lungbarrow''''' is an original novel written by [[Marc Platt]] and based on the long-running [[United Kingdom|British]] science fiction television series ''[[Doctor Who]]''. Published in [[Virgin Books]]' ''[[Virgin New Adventures|New Adventures]]'' range, it was the last of that range to feature the [[Seventh Doctor]].

'''''Lungbarrow''''' was an original ''[[Doctor Who]]'' novel written by [[Marc Platt]] as an expanded adaptation of his [[Lungbarrow (unproduced TV story)|unproduced television story of the same name]]. Published in [[Virgin Books]]' ''[[Virgin New Adventures|New Adventures]]'' range, it was the last of that range to feature the [[Seventh Doctor]].


It is considered the final novel, under any banner, to feature the [[Seventh Doctor]] as the "current" Doctor, although McGann's [[Eighth Doctor]] had already made his televised appearance by the time the novel was published. Due to a publication delay, however, an earlier-commissioned novel, ''[[So Vile a Sin]]'', also featuring the Seventh Doctor, would be published later.
It is considered the final novel under any banner to feature the [[Seventh Doctor]] as the "current" Doctor, although McGann's [[Eighth Doctor]] had already made his televised appearance by the time the novel was published. Due to a publication delay, however, an earlier-commissioned novel, ''[[So Vile a Sin (novel)|So Vile a Sin]]'', also featuring the Seventh Doctor, was published later - although it takes place earlier than ''Lungbarrow'' in continuity. One additional Eighth Doctor novel would be published under the ''Virgin New Adventures'' banner before the series was handed over to [[Bernice Summerfield]].

==Plot==


== Plot ==
In a prologue, [[the Other]] stands on the Omega Memorial watching riots across [[Gallifrey]] shortly after [[Pythia's Curse]]. He contemplates suicide, but is stopped by the [[Hand of Omega]]. He decides on another plan to leave Gallifrey. Later, a young [[First Doctor|Doctor]] is up to mischief during a tutoring session with [[Badger (Lungbarrow)|Badger]]; he distracts his tutor and runs outside.


President Romana's reforms are causing political unrest on Gallifrey as she attempts to awaken the Time Lords to the role they play in the cosmos; no longer can they consider themselves to be aloof and above it all. She is currently conducting secret negotiations which she believes to be the most important thing to happen to Gallifrey in generations, but she needs to keep her enemies occupied while she does so, and therefore sends for the Doctor to send him on a secret mission. But when the TARDIS receives the recall message telling it to bring the Doctor home, it seems to interpret the message a bit too literally. Desperate to find the Doctor, Romana gives orders for Dorothée McShane to be transducted from Earth for questioning -- but her political adversaries intercept the transduction, copy Dorothée's memories into the Matrix and make a virtual copy of the younger Ace to question her. But even with her memories at their disposal they can't get to the root of what they want to know. After all she's seen and heard about the Doctor, why does she still trust him? Just who is the Doctor?
Under [[Andred]]'s command as [[Castellan]], a young captain, [[Jomdek]], is sent to Surveillance Actuary Hofwinter to send a classified transduction order. The datacube is intercepted, but Jomdek and Hofwinter report that it has been sent as instructed.


Chris awakens from an odd dream of a hate-filled harpy who guards the door to the Past, to find that the TARDIS has materialised in a cavernous attic full of gigantic, dusty sleeping furniture -- a location which seems to have singularly unnerved the Doctor. Before the Doctor can stop him, Chris sets off to explore, but he disturbs the collected dust, which catches in his throat and tugs him out of his body. In astral form, he finds himself drifting through the corridors of the once living House, where wooden servants like living furniture are preparing a celebratory feast. He sees a young woman hiding behind a curtain as her Cousin Glospin searches for the documents which she has stolen, documents he believes will clear the name of his disgraced House. Unable to find the originals, Glospin gives copies to a Chancellory guard and bribes him to take them back to the Capitol. Chris proceeds further into the House, and finds a gathering of Cousins who are here for the reading of Ordinal-General Quences' will. All expect that Glospin will inherit, since he is Housekeeper Satthralope's favourite; Quences' previous favourite has been disowned and his name is now forbidden in the House. He has even been Replaced, although his foolish Replacement Owis is not half the man his predecessor was. As Chris watches he sees a hollow-eyed ghost, Arkhew, who is watching the events as well. Arkhew fell victim to the dust while searching for Quences' lost will in the shattered clock in the Great Hall, and is now being forced to relive the terrible day, 673 years ago, when everything went horribly wrong...
[[Ace]], now living in 19th century Paris and going by Dorothée, is intercepted on her time-travelling motorbike and encounters what appears to be an exact duplicate of herself, who claims to be "Ace," not Dorothée, and is aiming a gun at her. They talk, and end up reminiscing about various identical life experiences, but "Ace" seems remarkably focused on learning more about the Doctor. Dorothée points this out, and "Ace" vanishes.


Castellan Andred receives word of the failed transduction. Occupied and worried, he does not pay attention to his lover Leela, who has grown bored and has been researching Andred's Family history with K9's help. They have uncovered a mystery; 673 years ago a Cousin named Redred was sent out to the House of Lungbarrow, but both he and the House itself have gone missing. What few records K9 has located are being deleted as he searches, suggesting that someone else is covering their tracks and investigating the disappearance of Lungbarrow -- the family home of the Doctor. Leela tries to send word to the Doctor that someone is digging up his past, but only succeeds in drawing attention to herself, and when she has K9 hack into the classified database using Andred's security codes, she is arrested by Chancellory guards and charged with treason. She is taken to the holding quarters of the Celestial Intervention Agency, and Ferain, its Director of Allegiance, questions her about the Doctor in more detail. Why does he inspire such loyalty? She cannot answer, and is proud of it; the Doctor is, and always must be, a mystery.
Andred fields questions from [[Almoner Crest]] [[Yeux]] about President [[Romana]]'s whereabouts, to which he claims she is simply unavailable. In truth, Andred does not know where Romana has gone. [[Leela]] and her [[K9]] visit Andred's office to tell him that they've found a data anomaly. Six hundred and seventy-three years ago, one of Andred's cousins, [[Redred]], was sent on a mission to the [[House of Lungbarrow]], where both he and the House itself went missing. Their conversation is interrupted by a call from Romana asking where her transduction order went, as the "guest" she was expecting never arrived. She claims that "everything" depends on the negotiations she is currently engaged in.


Chris and Arkhew witness a confrontation between Glospin and Innocet, who admits to stealing his documents; she will not let him make their House a laughingstock by taking his ridiculous accusations to the Capitol. But he insists that his findings are accurate. Their House has hatched a serpent in its midst, and all of the official histories of Gallifrey are wrong. Quences is brought in to read his will, but refuses to do so until all of the Cousins have assembled. The remaining Cousins heckle him unmercifully, knowing that the one he awaits has been forbidden to set foot in the House. But if that's what he wants, that's what he'll get, and Satthralope takes steps to ensure that nobody can leave until the will is read. Memory fragments into pieces as darkness rises past the House windows, and Chris and Arkhew catch only glimpses of what follows -- the desperate Cousins scrabbling at the door to escape, darkness and decay in the House, and an old man whom Arkhew recognises, stabbing Quences with a double-bladed knife as he works on a large, furry object in his workshop. Chris awakens back in his body, to find that the TARDIS has fallen through the rotting floor and that the Doctor has been forced to descend into the House to search for it. Chris follows him, but is unwilling to discuss his vision -- for he already suspects that the Doctor's name has been forbidden in this House, and although Arkhew did not name Quences' killer he had babbled that he'd come back to do so...
Yeux speaks to Jomdek, revealing that he is the one who intercepted the transduction order, which retrieved Dorothée.


Cousin Innocet senses a disturbance in the House, and tries to cast the future in her cards. A tremor causes her house of cards to fall down, leaving the future scattered and confused but for one card spinning in mid-air -- the Rogue. Innocet leaves Owis and Jobiska to their game of Sepulchasm -- played on a board which sometimes splits in two, dropping the pieces into the chasm in its centre -- and sets off to find the remaining Cousins, Glospin, Rynde, Maljamin, and Arkhew. Glospin has been locked in a stove by the wooden Drudges as punishment for stealing more than his ration of fungus from the kitchens, and Maljamin is becoming more distant -- soon he too will be called away, like the rest of the Cousins who have left this terrible House the only way they can. Until they are truly free, Innocet has vowed that she will not cut her hair; already 673 years of growth lie wrapped on her back, the heavy burden of her guilt and responsibility.
Back in Andred's quarters, K9 informs Leela that all record of Lungbarrow's existence has been deleted. Leela never informed Andred that Lungbarrow was the Doctor's home.


Chris and the Doctor find Glospin locked in the stove, and there is a moment of instant mutual recognition and hatred between the Doctor and Glospin, who believes that the Doctor has finally returned to gloat over the situation he left his Family in. The Doctor reluctantly releases Glospin and goes to the Great Hall, where he sees that his TARDIS has become stuck in the thick webs of dust, suspended above the Hall, out of reach. Quences is lying in stasis in the centre of the Hall, waiting for the Doctor to return so his will can be read, and the doors and windows of the House have been boarded up. When the Doctor tries to open a window he finds nothing beyond but soil; Lungbarrow has been buried beneath the surface of Gallifrey for 673 years. Innocet arrives, and even Chris can sense the hatred she holds for the Doctor. She has found Arkhew dead in the funguretum, strangled and unable to regenerate; and the Doctor, already horrified by what has happened to his home, is even more shocked to realise that Innocet -- the only one of his Cousins who was ever kind to him -- now seems to believe that he is responsible for killing Arkhew.
Meanwhile on the [[TARDIS]], [[Chris Cwej]] is experiencing nightmares. The [[Seventh Doctor]] finds him asleep in the bath. Chris tells him about his nightmare, which included a group of women reciting "[[Eighth Man Bound|eighth man bound]]", though he had not previously encountered the chant. The Doctor dismisses the dream, revealing nothing of what he might know about it.


A terrorist faction sends a singularity bomb to the Tharil embassy in a lift, but a quick-thinking guard takes it to an empty level, though it costs him his life. Since the Tharil embassy is located directly beneath her own offices, Romana suspects that the attack was a roundabout way of proving that she is not on Gallifrey. Security guards are sent to investigate the attack, leaving the Agency watchtower understaffed -- and Andred and his loyal guards raid it to rescue Leela and Dorothée. They are aided by K9 and by K9 Mark II, who has recently overcome the difficulties of transition back to N-Space. Leela and Dorothée are taken to the Presidential offices, where Romana appears to them as a hologram and inquires after their health -- particularly Leela's. She claims to be involved in negotiations which could finally bring Gallifrey out of the shadows in which it has dwelt since the death of the Pythia sent their race into matricidal shock; Gallifrey has always had a unique relationship with Time, and over the millennia of stagnation its Time has been slowing down in relationship to the rest of the Universe. Since she cannot interrupt her negotiations and Leela is too important to the future to risk, she has called Dorothée here to take a message to the Doctor, by riding her time-cycle into the House of Lungbarrow. Leela insists upon accompanying her, and they depart just in time; Ferain has escaped from the raid on the Agency and has staged a coup. The Interventionists are now in control of the Capitol, and when Romana returns, she will face impeachment and charges of unGallifreyan activities.
In the House of Lungbarrow, Cousin [[Arkhew]] climbs into the clock in an attempt to find [[Quences]]'s will. [[Owis]], looking for food, encounters [[Glospin]], who teases and scares him about the House [[Drudge|Drudges]] and skinless skulls. Owis frames Glospin for stealing food, and the Drudges take Glospin away while Owis retreats to [[Innocet]]'s room. Innocet is building a card tower, while [[Jobiska]] is waiting to play the board game [[Sepulchasm]] with Arkhew. Owis plays with her instead. The Doctor's TARDIS arrives in the House, restarting the clock and trapping Arkhew in it, as well as toppling Innocet's house of cards.


Glospin wakes Satthralope from her long sleep to warn her that the disinherited one has returned and murdered Arkhew. She refuses to let him speak of murder -- nobody has died except in her dreams -- but realises that the Doctor has in fact returned, and wakes the sleeping House. In its rage at the interloper it attempts to kill the Doctor with its living furniture, but at the last moment he is saved by Badger, the furry avatroid who was his first teacher, and who has woken for the first time in 673 years to save his life. Innocet claims Housepitality for the new arrivals, and thus the Doctor and Chris, although intruders, must be treated as honoured guests. She still believes that the Doctor killed Arkhew, but Chris believes that Arkhew was killed confronting the man they saw murder Quences. But when he identifies the man from his vision on a family portrait, Innocet identifies him as the First Doctor. Chris faints, suddenly overwhelmed by the voices in his head, and before the Doctor can get to him, Glospin takes a blood sample from Chris -- which when analysed proves his suspicion that the Doctor has brought an alien to their House. At last, the time has come to expose the Doctor for who -- and what -- he really is.
Chris and the Doctor exit the TARDIS, with Chris curious and the Doctor reluctant. Chris touches a cobweb, which sends him into a shared vision of the past with Arkhew. He sees the cousins of Lungbarrow preparing for Quences's Deathday. Two Cousins discuss who they think might inherit the House, with a leading contender being Glospin. They suspect that Glospin's job title of "cellular eugenicist" is a cover for a position in the [[Celestial Intervention Agency]]. They are confused by the presence of Owis, who is apparently the Doctor's Replacement, though the Doctor has not died. If the House has loomed more than its allotted 45 Cousins, it could mean a great scandal. Innocet confronts Glospin about documents he is intending to send to the [[Chapterhouse]] regarding the Doctor's claim to membership of the House. Quences refuses to read his will (and therefore, refuses to die) until all of his cousins are present (until the Doctor is present). [[Housekeeper (title)|Housekeeper]] [[Satthralope]], in keeping with this wish, seals the House closed with all cousins inside and buries it under [[Mount Lung]]. Chris sees the [[First Doctor]] stab Quences. Glospin regenerates, and Satthralope convinces the House and herself that Quences is not dead, but in stasis.


The Doctor realises that the psychic Chris has been augmented by the TARDIS into an auxiliary storage for the Doctor's overflowing memories, leaving him open to the Doctor's subconscious thoughts -- and to the bitterness and hatred that has built up in the House over the centuries. He still doesn't understand why Quences is in stasis if he's dead -- until he realises that, to prevent the House from reacting in a fit of rage to its Kithriarch's death and killing everyone inside itself, Satthralope has convinced both herself and the House that Quences is not dead. Which means that there will be trouble when she tries to awaken him to read the will.
Leela has K9 use Andred's security codes to access more restricted records on the Doctor, which alerts Yeux and the CIA. She is arrested. When she is questioned (mostly about the Doctor), chancellor [[Theora]] attempts to get her released, but finds the CIA's operations to be out of her and Romana's control, even when Romana apparently arrives in person. As Theora leaves, the capitol is bombed.


Innocet reads Chris' mind and relives his vision, which seems to confirm that the Doctor killed Quences, and although the Doctor proclaims his innocence he realises that he can't remember what he was really doing that day. He allows Innocet to read his mind to see the truth, and they astral-travel back to Quences' Deathday. Disowned, cast out, the Doctor is working at a lowly position in the Capitol when Glospin comes to gloat over his Replacement by Owis. Glospin claims to have found genetic anomalies in the Loom records which prove that the Doctor does not belong to the House of Lungbarrow, and when he presents this proof to the Prydonian Chapterhouse, the Doctor will be executed as a Loom-jumper and Glospin will secure his birthright. The furious Doctor attacks Glospin, and as the two men fight, the legendary Hand of Omega appears as if from nowhere and drives Glospin off, giving him a scar which even his later regeneration did not heal. The Doctor, realising that his time is running out, writes an anonymous letter to the Chapterhouse accusing Lungbarrow of generating one Cousin over quota, and steals a TARDIS -- but to his surprise, the Hand of Omega boosts power through the old Type 40 and takes it beyond the Backtime Buffers into the past of Gallifrey itself. This is the gravest crime imaginable, and although nobody can follow him, he can never return home again.
Innocet, learning about the bet between Owis, Arkhew, and Glospin to find Quences's will, sends Owis out to find Arkhew. Innocet encounters Cousin [[Rynde]], who tells her that Cousin [[Maljamin]] has "gone away" like the rest of their Cousins.


Satthralope gives orders for Badger to be disassembled, but this proves to be a mistake; normally placid and unthreatening, the avatroid becomes violent if either it or the Doctor is threatened. Thwarted again, she orders the remaining Family to assemble for Otherstide dinner, and for the reading of Quences' will at long last. The ghost of Quences appears before the Doctor, telling him to find the will, and although the Doctor has no intention of becoming trapped in the politics of the Family he left behind, he realises that he has an obligation to free them from the neglect he trapped them in. Glospin, meanwhile, continues to spread doubt and anger through the House, telling Innocet that the Doctor intends to disinherit her as the next Housekeeper, and reminding Owis that since he is an illegal Replacement, if the Doctor returns he will be terminated. Glospin then challenges the Doctor to a game of Sepulchasm; the Doctor and Quences often played the game together, and Glospin would always have been welcome to join, if only he had asked. The board splits open -- and the Doctor, looking into the chasm as none had ever done before, finds the will hidden inside. But Glospin tells the others that the Doctor had it with him all along.
Chris reawakens to the Doctor and the TARDIS missing. He finds a note telling him to stay put, but leaves to find the TARDIS anyway. He finds the Doctor in the kitchens. The Doctor claims not to know this place. Chris keeps hearing voices that the Doctor does not. They separate again, and Chris finds Glospin (wearing a different face than in the dream) imprisoned in an oven by the Drudges. Chris makes a few attempts to free him, at which point the Doctor returns and Glospin immediately recognizes him. Glospin and the Doctor argue, and Glospin reveals that it is [[Otherstide]], the holiday commemorating the banishment of the Other and the exact anniversary of Quences's Deathday. After some small amount of begging, the Doctor gets Glospin out of the oven.


Dorothée and Leela arrive in the House, where they find Redred trapped in stasis in a damaged transmat, as he has been for 673 years. They are captured by Drudges and forced to attend the Otherstide dinner, a celebration of Rassilon's expulsion of his mysterious, unnamed advisor from Gallifrey. According to legend, the Other either stole the Hand of Omega when he fled, or it pursued him -- and Otherstide coincides with the Doctor's naming day. Surrounded by bitter and hostile Cousins convinced that he has come to rob them of their birthright, the Doctor watches glumly as puppets animated by the House enact a Mystery Play of the Pythia's death, and the final battle between Rassilon and the Other. At the end of the play the puppet representing the Other swoops forward, enfolds the Doctor in its clutches and then falls apart to reveal the Doctor standing alone.
Innocet finds Owis talking to Maljamin, who has climbed into a chimney in an attempt to see the sky. She tells Owis to watch Maljamin and ensure he does not leave.


Glospin takes the opportunity to accuse the Doctor of bringing aliens amongst them, and the revelation that the Doctor has been roaming the Universe and consorting with aliens while his Family was left to rot is more than Satthralope can bear. She has never forgiven the Doctor for squandering his talents on a mere Doctorate after all the effort and funding that Quences had put into his education. The Doctor, furious, challenges the House to do its worst -- and steps aside as the enraged House tries to drop the TARDIS on his head. He has tricked it into returning his ship, and all that remains now is to find his missing Cousins, read the will, and get them to safety before the House realises that Quences is dead.
The Doctor, Chris, and Glospin find the TARDIS webbed to the ceiling of the main hall. Innocet arrives and confronts the Doctor just as he discovers that it is not, in fact, nighttime, and that it is dark because the House has been buried. Innocet tells the men that Arkhew has been murdered.


Badger arrives, having repaired the transmat and released Redred, who is shocked by the changes that have happened in his "absence". Seeing that Satthralope is present, he finally delivers the edict which Glospin intercepted 673 years ago. Glospin believed that he could clear the House's name before its disgrace was made public, and thanks to him, the Cousins have never known that because they Loomed an illegal Replacement all records of their House's existence were deleted from the Matrix. The Doctor finds that Jobiska and Chris have both gone, answering the call of the whispers in his head as so many Cousins have done before. He tries to follow, but Innocet tries to stop him, determined to protect her family from him. She had sabotaged the transmat to prevent Redred from taking Glospin's insane accusations about the Doctor to the Capitol -- and the Doctor has repaid her by abandoning her and her Family to their torment, leaving Innocet to bear the crushing burden of her guilt. Just who does he think he is?
Theora and Romana, who had projected a hologram of herself earlier, call and discuss the bombing; while there was only one casualty, they determine that it was targeted at the [[Tharil]] embassy and cannot determine its source.


Badger arrives, and once again protects the Doctor from the threat -- by killing Innocet, forcing her to regenerate. The Doctor sends Badger away and continues onwards to his old room, where he finds Chris at the bottom of an impossible well where his missing Cousins lie suspended, their hate sustaining them as they wait for the Doctor's return. The combined force of their loathing and rejection is too much for him to handle, and he loses consciousness as his Cousins emerge from the pit and return to the Great Hall. There, Dorothée and Leela manage to slip away while Rynde, Owis and Glospin struggle to right the TARDIS and get in. Romana also arrives, having completed her negotiations and seeking the Doctor to restore her threatened Presidency, but the Doctor is unconscious and dying, rejected by his Family when all he ever wanted was to belong somewhere. Before Innocet can do anything, the Doctor's conscious mind shuts down -- but through Chris they can access his subconscious mind, and bring him back to them.
Andred, Romana's K9, and Leela's K9 rescue Leela and Dorothée from CIA custody. They are taken to the Presidential quarters to speak with Romana (again a projection).


The Doctor's friends follow him into his dreams, to the wall of Time, where he is presented with a robe woven of his experiences -- which catches under the advancing wall of the Present and drags him back into the Past. There, instead of the Doctor's own memories, they find themselves witnessing the final confrontation between Rassilon and the Other. Rassilon, desperate to see his reforms take effect before the end of his life, has resorted to bloodshed to purge the dissidents, despite his advisor's warning that this will lead only to eternal stagnation. Sickened and weary of the violence, and blaming himself for what is happening to Gallifrey, he intends to put an end to these games and fling himself back into the Universe, as a piece on the board rather than as a player. Knowing that Rassilon will try to use his family as a hostage to force him to remain, he bids goodbye to his grand-daughter Susan, telling her to go to safety on the planet Tersurus, and then flings himself into the central progenitive cascades of the genetic Looms and disintegrates. One year later, the First Doctor arrives, brought to his own world's past by the Hand of Omega -- to meet a strangely familiar girl who has lived on the streets for a year, having been unable to reach the spaceport and escape. She instantly recognises him as her grandfather, and somehow, he knows that her name is Susan. Together, they depart Gallifrey to explore Time and Space, knowing that neither of them can ever return home again.
Glospin goes to speak to Satthralope, who has not left her chair in decades. After being informed of the Doctor's presence, Satthralope sends the Drudges after him, but he and Chris are protected by Innocet officially inviting them as guests in accordance with the laws of Housepitality. Chris continues to have visions and nightmares of the Doctor's memories. Back in Innocet's room, Maljamin, who has been tied to a chair, attempts to escape, and Innocet eventually lets him without giving the Doctor a clear answer as to where he and the rest of their cousins have gone.


The Doctor and his companions return to their bodies, only to learn that Glospin has found them and tagged along on their astral journey. He emerges with all of his suspicions confirmed; the Doctor is a serpent from the dawn of Gallifreyan history, who has abused his Family for his own ends. The Doctor insists that he remembered none of this before, but Glospin doesn't believe him. Ferain then arrives with a squad of Chancellory guards, having planted a tracking device on Dorothée's time-cycle and allowed her to escape, and he arrests both the Doctor and Romana and marches them back to Lungbarrow's Great Hall to answer for their crimes. The Doctor manages to slip Dorothée some of her old nitro-nine which he has kept in his pocket for years, and she and Leela slip away and head for the attic, intending to blow a hole in the roof so the Cousins can escape. On the way, Dorothée realises that Leela is pregnant by Andred -- and that she will soon give birth to the first natural child to be born on Gallifrey since the Pythia's curse fell upon them.
Unrest grows in the Panopticon about Romana's absence, which [[Ferain|Lord Ferain]] and Yeux of the CIA take as an opportunity to seize power. Ferain calls for Romana's impeachment. Leela, Romana, and Dorothée talk while in a projection that looks like an impressionist painting. Romana tells the two humans that Gallifrey must change if it is to survive, and the Doctor is a key factor in this. She sends the two of them to the House of Lungbarrow to find the Doctor.


Back in the Great Hall, the Doctor enters his TARDIS and shuts down the interior to prevent his Cousins from making off with his belongings. He has fully recovered, and has jettisoned his subconscious memories to save Chris' sanity; he no longer cares about the past, and trusts his friends to keep his memories safe for him. Accused of murder, he calls forth a surprise witness -- the House of Lungbarrow itself, which speaks through Satthralope. Forced to confront its own buried memories, the House remembers seeing Quences murdered -- by an elderly Cousin with a terrible scar on his arm. Glospin had deliberately picked a fight with the Doctor in the Capitol to get a genetic sample from him, and once back in the House he regenerated not once, but twice --taking on the form of the Doctor in order to frame him for Quences' murder. Arkhew recognised him nonetheless, but Glospin had Owis kill him, telling Owis that he would be terminated as an illegal Replacement if Glospin was discredited and the Doctor inherited the House. The Doctor gives Quences' will to Badger, who then generates a ghostlike hologram of Quences. On the Doctor's naming day, Quences consulted the Bench of Matricians, who predicted both Quences' murder and that the Doctor would be the most significant influence on the future of Gallifrey. Quences therefore arranged to have his mind transferred into Badger upon his death, which is why Badger has been so protective of the Doctor -- Quences' chosen heir, and the new Kithriarch of the House of Lungbarrow.
Innocet takes Chris to see the last family portrait, confirming that the person he saw kill Quences was, in fact, the Doctor. Chris has a vision of Quences banishing the Doctor from the House and revoking his name. Satthralope and Glospin confront the Doctor in person. Satthralope wakes the house against Glospin's wishes. The Drudges try to escort the Doctor to the library for imprisonment, but encounter Rynde and Owis along the way. Innocet and Chris find the Doctor as well. The Drudges try to detain the Doctor again, but Badger appears and defends him.


Dorothée and Leela blow a hole in the roof and evacuate the Cousins, as the Doctor rejects his inheritance and the furious House strikes out at him again. As the others flee, the Doctor stays in the House at Romana's request, to download the template of the Lungbarrow Family Loom into a data extractor. The House, sick to death with no Kithriarch at its head, crushes Satthralope to death in a fit of rage, and pulls itself up out of the ground in a suicidal frenzy. Glospin, mad with rage, attacks the monstrous Doctor who has ruined his family, only to be killed by Badger. The furious ghost of Quences also strikes out at the Doctor, who has brought ruin upon his Family when Quences intended that he should make Lungbarrow the greatest House on Gallifrey. Chris rescues the Doctor, and they escape in the TARDIS as the House of Lungbarrow flings itself over a cliff to its death.
Back in Innocet's room, she and the Doctor play Sepulchasm while Chris has more visions of the Doctor killing Quences. The Doctor and Innocet discuss how the Doctor's old room has been rendered inaccessible by a lagoon flooding that wing of the House, likely caused by an experiment left by the Doctor. The Doctor also explains to Chris that his visions are being caused by the TARDIS rerouting the Doctor's subconscious to Chris's mind, as the Doctor's mind cannot contain all of his memories anymore. He also hypothesizes that this is why they ended up at the House in the first place.


A new House will be grown for the surviving Cousins, but none of them will ever forgive the Doctor for what he did to them. Romana announces that Leela's pregnancy has finally ended the Pythia's curse, enabling her to negotiate peace with the Sisterhood of Karn and end the long rift which has existed between them and the Time Lords. At long last, Life is returning to the sterile Gallifrey, and the Doctor, pleased, tells Leela to name her son after him. Ferain agrees to let Romana keep her Presidency if she agrees to send the Doctor on the mission she had originally intended for him -- to recover the Master's remains from Skaro, a dangerous journey with only a four percent chance of survival. The Doctor accepts the assignment, and also accepts Chris' decision to remain on Gallifrey to sort out his feelings and his identity. He knows that Ferain is secretly afraid of him -- and knows that it doesn't matter, just as it doesn't matter who he once was. All that matters is who he is now -- the Doctor.
Innocet, a talented telepath, proposes that Chris allow her into his mind to access the Doctor's memories and clear his name. The first memory they view does indeed show the Doctor stabbing Quences, but the second shows the Doctor somewhere else entirely shortly before the murder. He is in an office in the Capitol when the Hand of Omega enters his office, pestering him. Then, Glospin visits, informing him of anomalies in the Doctor's genetic coding that would imply he is not from Lungbarrow's genetic material. He intends to share this information with the Prydonian Chapterhouse in hopes of having the Doctor removed from the House legally. The Doctor denies this, and drafts a letter of his own informing the Chapterhouse of Owis's looming. He then uses energy from the Hand of Omega to activate and steal a [[Type 40|Type 40 TT capsule]].


==Characters==
Innocet accepts that the Doctor couldn't have been at the House when Quences was murdered. The Doctor encounters Quences's ghost, who again expresses disapéointment that the Doctor did not follow his wishes.
*[[Seventh Doctor |The Doctor]]
**Has the nickname 'Snail' and 'Wormhole' by his cousins (because he has a bellybutton).


*[[Chris Cwej]]
The Doctor and Glospin play Sepulchasm; the Doctor finds Quences's will in the Sepulchasm board.


*[[Ace]]
Leela and Dorothée arrive in the House. They find Redred held in stasis in the House's sabotaged [[transmat]] chamber. The Drudges use Dorothée's groceries (still on her bike from before she was taken in) to make an Otherstide feast. At the feast, the House performs a puppet show reenacting the banishment of the Other. Chris, haunted by the Doctor's thoughts, has an outburst at the play, claiming it is inaccurate; Glospin again accuses the Doctor of being an infiltrator in the family. The Doctor asks for Innocet's help in finding his TARDIS. She refuses, saying that she can no longer trust him. The Doctor says he is no longer bound by Lungbarrow's rules, as he has been disinherited; Satthralope says that that cannot be confirmed until the will has been found. The Doctor procures the will and threatens to "wake Quences up." Badger releases Redred from stasis, who still believes it is the same day he arrived. Redred reveals that he had, upon arriving, delivered an edict from the Prydonian chapterhouse that Lungbarrow, having been found guilty of looming an additional cousin, has five days to appeal the decision before it is excommunicated from the chapter. This is, the Doctor suspects, why the transmat booth was sabotaged.
**The [[Celestial Intervention Agency |CIA]] kill Ace for 20 minutes and upload her memories to [[the Matrix]].


*[[Leela |Leelandredloomsagwinaechegesima (aka Leela)]]
The TARDIS falls from the ceiling. The Doctor deactivates the hologram over Quences's "stasis chamber," revealing a picked-clean skeleton to the House. Satthralope loses control of the Drudges, who begin guarding the coffin. Redred reports that the Doctor's TARDIS is the same one that had been reported stolen "last night" (the night before Quences's Deathday). Glospin, revealing his CIA status to Redred, claims that the Doctor killed Quences and is not truly a Cousin of Lungbarrow. He encourages Redred to try and get into the Doctor's TARDIS for evidence.
**Is pair bonded to Andred.
**Is pregnant.


*[[Andred |Castellan Andred]]
Jobiska follows the other missing cousins while Chris becomes overwhelmed by the Doctor's subconscious; they both go to the flooded north annex together. Innocet, overwhelmed by these events, follows them, and the Doctor tries to stop her. A creature in the water (an experiment left behind by the Doctor) attacks both of them. The Doctor manages to get them safely to the other side of the lagoon, but Innocet does not want him following her. When Badger arrives to protect the Doctor, she attempts to run, and then threatens the Doctor with a sword. Badger fatally wounds Innocet. As she dies, she tells the Doctor that she did not want the House to know where the other cousins were. She tells him that they are all waiting for him in his own room. The Doctor finds a deep pit in his room that Chris, haunted and delirious, stands over. The Doctor cuts off Innocet's hair, which she had been growing and wearing on her back since the House was buried, and uses it as a rope to get down. He finds his Cousins all in a cavern at the bottom of this well, now surrounding Chris. The Doctor takes back some of his subconscious from Chris and feels all of his Cousins' hate for him at once.
**Belongs to House of the Redlooms.


*[[Romana II|President Romana]]
At the lagoon entrance, Leela and Dorothée are discussing whether to follow the others when Romana arrives, this time in person. She is here on the run, having nowhere else to go after Ferain took over the capitol. The lost Cousins emerge from the north annex, and the House produces a bridge for them to cross the lagoon. Chris follows, carrying a beaten Doctor and enacting the Doctor's persona, Scottish accent and all. The Doctor rambles about Eighth Man Bound, saying that he could never see past his seventh regeneration and that he believes it is truly the end for him. Innocet, regenerated and weak, emerges as well. She, with the help of the Doctor's companions, attempts to enter his mind and save him, but can only successfully enter through Chris.
**Is negotiating with the [[Tharil]]s.


*[[K-9 Mark I]]
After seeing all of the Doctor's previous regenerations and an encounter with [[Time (mythology)|Time]], the companions see the Other on the Omega Memorial (the same scene from the prologue). The Other goes to the city slums, where he visits [[Mamlaurea]] and his granddaughter, [[Susan Foreman|Susan,]] telling them to leave for [[Tersurus]]. Susan says she will be waiting for him.
**Learns Andred's security codes.


*[[K-9 Mark II]]
In another flashback, the Other has a confrontation with [[Rassilon]]. The Other expresses disappointment at Rassilon's styling of himself as a god, then leaves. Rassilon orders all exits from the planet sealed. Glospin enters the vision, having found the companions. Everyone seeing the vision sees the Other enter the central progenitive chamber, dispersing his body into the loom data of Gallifrey.
**Has recently returned from [[E-Space]].


[[Rodan]]
They then see the First Doctor shortly after stealing his TARDIS. He has landed in the old days of Gallifrey, exactly a year after the Other's disappearance. The Hand of Omega leads him to Susan's place, where she immediately recognizes him as her grandfather. She was unable to leave due to Rassilon's closure of the spaceports. Though he does not know how, the Doctor knows her name. The two leave in the TARDIS, and the visions end.
* Is Leela's friend.
* Has been sent on a cross-cultural liaison course.


[[Ferain|Lord Ferain]]
When the group wakes up, Ferain and a number of CIA soldiers have them in custody and place them under "House arrest." Chris's mind has cleared, and the Doctor is healing. He says he has "jettisoned" his subconscious. The Doctor gives Dorothée canisters of [[nitro-9]] that had been in his pockets since they were travelling together. They return to the main hall, where the returned Cousins are rummaging through the Doctor's belongings from his TARDIS. The Doctor enters the TARDIS and disables it, preventing anyone else from entry.
* Is part of the [[Celestial Intervention Agency |CIA]].
* Kept a book called ''An Alternative History of Skaro: The Daleks without Davros''.


'''Flashback / In-Memory Character'''
In the commotion, Leela and Dorothée sneak away to the kitchens. They prepare to detonate the nitro-9 to unbury the House. Dorothée notices that Leela is pregnant. A Drudge attacks them, but a creature from the Doctor's room enters and fights it off. Leela paralyzes the creature with a [[janis thorn]].


[[Susan]] (appears in flashback-like sequence)
The Doctor challenges the accusations against him. Satthralope enters, now having lost control of her own mind and speaking directly for the House. She still insists that Quences is asleep, not dead. The Doctor calls the House as a witness in the impromptu trial against him. Chris testifies, describing the Quences's murder as he saw it. Glospin claims that he was regenerating at the time of the murder and that Satthralope personally nursed him through the rebirth. The House denies this, claiming that regeneration is a private process. Only the loom records regenerations, and the House reveals that Glospin regenerated two separate times on that day. In his earlier fight with the Doctor, he sampled some of his DNA, and used it to regenerate into an identical form before regenerating into his current body. After it is proven that Glospin killed Quences, Owis admits to killing Arkhew on Glospin's orders. The House begins to crumble under proof that Quences is dead. The Doctor gives Quences's will to Badger, which summons Quences's ghost. Quences reveals that his murder had been predicted to him, and he had purposefully had his mind transferred to Badger instead of the [[The Matrix|Matrix]]. Quences confirms that his chosen successor is, indeed, the Doctor. Leela and Dorothée return to the main hall just as the charges detonate.
* Her mother died as [[Pythia]] cursed Gallifrey.
* Susan's nanny was called [[Mamlaurea]].


[[The Other]]
Everyone except the Doctor, Glospin, and Satthralope are able to escape the collapsing House. Romana orders the Doctor to retrieve the House loom data and keys, which he does. Chris returns into the House to save the Doctor; they escape in the TARDIS.
* Along with [[Rassilon]] and [[Omega]] was part of the Trimuvate that ruled Gallifrey.
* Susan was The Other's granddaughter.
* Threw himself into the original Loom.


===The Doctor's Cousins===
The Doctor gives the House keys and loom data to Innocet, proclaiming her Housekeeper. Romana promises that Lungbarrow will be reinstated as a Prydonian House and that a new House will be grown from the original template. Romana reveals that the negotiations she has been preoccupied with are with the [[Sisterhood of Karn]], bringing the potential end of Pythia's Curse. Leela and Andred's child will be the first naturally born Gallifreyan child of the new era. The High Council has been calmed by Romana's return, and Ferain allows her to remain in power should she send the Doctor on the mission he intended for her: retrieving [[The Master|the Master's]] remains from [[Skaro]]. Chris decides to leave the Doctor, stating that he might return to [[Bernice Summerfield]]. The Doctor leaves everyone to their promised futures.

==Notes==
[[Image:Lungbarrow ebook cover.jpg|thumb|right|250px|The "cover" for the e-book version of ''Lungbarrow''.  (Art by [[Daryl Joyce]])]]
*''Lungbarrow'' wrapped up the last of the continuity of the New Adventures and put the Doctor on course to gather [[the Master]]'s remains from [[Skaro]], as depicted in the [[Doctor Who (1996)|1996 Doctor Who television movie]]. It is also one of a number of the New Adventures which is hard to obtain and is often seen on auction websites such as eBay at prices many times the original cover price.
*Before losing their license to [[BBC Books]], it had been announced that the [[Seventh Doctor]]'s adventures would have continued in periodic [[Virgin Missing Adventures|Missing Adventures]] releases, with the [[Eighth Doctor]] taking over the NA line. Ultimately, only one Eighth Doctor novel was published and the MA line came to an end before any Seventh Doctor releases could occur (although future Seventh Doctor novels would be released under the [[BBC Past Doctor Adventures]] line as late as 2005).
*The novel which followed ''Lungbarrow'', [[Lance Parkin]]'s ''[[The Dying Days]]'', featured the [[Eighth Doctor]]. When Virgin subsequently lost their license to print original ''Doctor Who'' fiction, they chose to focus on a character from the New Adventures which the BBC did not own, former companion [[Bernice Summerfield]]. ''Lungbarrow'' serves, in concert with ''Dying Days'', to gradually increase the standing of Summerfield's character, laying the groundwork for the later appearance of the Seventh Doctor's then-companion, [[Chris Cwej]], in Summerfield's own novels.


*Platt's novel, though, is largely concerned with concluding what was known as the "[[Cartmel Masterplan]]". In the final two seasons of the original [[1963]]-[[1989]] run of ''Doctor Who'', the then [[script editor]] [[Andrew Cartmel]] introduced new elements of mystery into the character of [[the Doctor]]. Suggestions of dark secrets that the Doctor might be more than just a [[Time Lord]] were inserted into scripts of stories such as [[Ben Aaronovitch]]'s ''[[Remembrance of the Daleks]]'' and [[Kevin Clarke]]'s ''[[Silver Nemesis]]''. Had the series not been effectively cancelled in 1989, the following season would have made some of these revelations. Elements of Platt's planned ''Lungbarrow'' instead became part of the Season 26 serial ''[[Ghost Light]]''.
=== Species ===
* President Romana is successfully negotiating with the [[Tharil]]s.
* Romana did not attend the reception for the [[Chelonian]] envoy.
* [[Fledershrew]]s are present in the House of Lungbarrow.


*Along the way to this resolution, ''Lungbarrow'' ultimately reveals much new information about the Doctor's home world and race, some of which had been hinted at ever since the first New Adventures novel. Many of the New Adventures authors migrated to the BBC Books ''Doctor Who'' line and elements of this backstory also made their way into subsequent novels. However, there have also been elements in those novels that contradict it.  
=== Relatives of the Doctor ===
* Innocet has [[telekinesis]] and [[telepathy]].


*The novel's revelations about the odd way in which Time Lords reproduce through [[Loom]]s — and the related suggestion that [[Susan Foreman|Susan]] may not have in fact been his biological granddaughter — have proven divisive in fandom. It has also been roundly rejected by the [[BBC Wales]] production of ''Doctor Who'', which has on diverse occasions depicted the Doctor as having had familial relationships close to what a Human would experience ([[DW]]: ''[[Fear Her]]'', ''[[Smith and Jones]]'', ''[[The Sound of Drums]]'').

* The claim that Time Lords are born fully mature, never having a physical childhood, has been contradicted by several pieces of media.
:* In the television story ''[[The Time Monster (TV story)|The Time Monster]]'', the [[Third Doctor]] tells [[Jo Grant]] a story regarding when he was a "little boy".
:* In all versions and adaptations of ''[[Shada (TV story)|Shada]]'', [[Romana II]] recalls having owned a Gallifreyan nursery book when she was "a time tot".
:* In the television story ''[[The Sound of Drums (TV story)|The Sound of Drums]]'', [[the Master]] is shown as a child in a Time Lord ritual. The [[Tenth Doctor]] specifically mentions that before this ritual "[the c]hildren of Gallifrey [were] taken from their families [at the] age of eight to enter the [[Time Lord Academy|Academy]]". The television story ''[[The End of Time (TV story)|The End of Time]]'' reuses footage from ''Drums'' while the Master's childhood is discussed. In ''The End of Time'', the [[Chancellor (The End of Time)|Chancellor]] refers to the "simple task" of the four beats of a Time Lord's heartbeat being transmitted back in time and implanted into "the Master's mind as a child".
:* The [[Eleventh Doctor]] has a cot, seen in the television story ''[[A Good Man Goes to War (TV story)|A Good Man Goes to War]]'', which he claims to have once slept in, and an incarnation is shown as a young boy in the television story ''[[Listen (TV story)|Listen]]'', in which he is described by a [[Gallifreyan man (Listen)|Gallifreyan man]] as "that boy".
:* In the television story ''[[The Girl in the Fireplace (TV story)|The Girl in the Fireplace]]'', [[Jeanne-Antoinette Poisson|Reinette]] describes the Doctor as having a "lonely childhood" and being "[s]uch a lonely little boy" while she looks inside the Tenth Doctor's mind. In [[TV]]: ''[[The Empty Child (TV story)|The Empty Child]]'', the [[Ninth Doctor]] himself similarly remarks that he knows what it's like to be the "only child left out in the cold".
:* The Ninth Doctor agrees with [[Constantine (The Empty Child)|Doctor Constantine]]'s remark of being a "father and grandfather" in the television story ''[[The Empty Child (TV story)|The Empty Child]]'', the Tenth Doctor recounts being "a dad" or "a father" in the television story ''[[Fear Her (TV story)|Fear Her]]'' and ''[[The Doctor's Daughter (TV story)|The Doctor's Daughter]]'' and his [[Twelfth Doctor|twelfth incarnation]] mentions his "dad skills" in ''[[Listen (TV story)|Listen]]''. In the television story ''[[The Witch's Familiar (TV story)|The Witch's Familiar]]'', [[Missy]] mentions a daughter from "the olden days on Gallifrey". In the television story ''[[Hell Bent (TV story)|Hell Bent]]'', the Twelfth Doctor mentions how the Doctor "stole" the moon and the President's wife, before correcting himself to say that was a lie from the [[Shobogan]]s, and she was actually the President's daughter, and the moon was lost.
:* The television movie ''[[Doctor Who (TV story)|Doctor Who]]'' has the [[Eighth Doctor]] remember being with his father and ''The End of Time'' also has {{Simm}} asking the Tenth Doctor if he remembered the land on the slopes of [[Mount Perdition]] the Master's father owned.
:* In the television story ''[[Death in Heaven (TV story)|Death in Heaven]]'', the Twelfth Doctor recalls running together with the Master when the Doctor was "little".
:* In the television story ''[[Heaven Sent (TV story)|Heaven Sent]]'', the Twelfth Doctor recounts a memory from when he was a "very little boy" about a woman who resembled [[the Veil]], which gave him nightmares for years.
* A second edition of ''Lungbarrow'', featuring both additions to and subtractions from the original text made by the author and accompanied by author's notes and new illustrations by [[Daryl Joyce]], was released by BBCi as an e-book on the official Doctor Who website on [[22 August (releases)|22 August]] [[2003 (releases)|2003]]. It became inaccessible in 2010.
* The Houses of Gallifrey are similar to the household featured in Peake's {{wi|Gormenghast}} trilogy.

You may be looking for House of Lungbarrow or the novel as it exists within the DWU.

Lungbarrow was an original Doctor Who novel written by Marc Platt as an expanded adaptation of his unproduced television story of the same name. Published in Virgin Books' New Adventures range, it was the last of that range to feature the Seventh Doctor.

It is considered the final novel under any banner to feature the Seventh Doctor as the "current" Doctor, although McGann's Eighth Doctor had already made his televised appearance by the time the novel was published. Due to a publication delay, however, an earlier-commissioned novel, So Vile a Sin, also featuring the Seventh Doctor, was published later - although it takes place earlier than Lungbarrow in continuity. One additional Eighth Doctor novel would be published under the Virgin New Adventures banner before the series was handed over to Bernice Summerfield.

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

"Nonsense, child", retorted the Doctor. "Grandfather indeed! I've never seen you before in my life!"

All is not well on Gallifrey. Chris Cwej is having someone else's nightmares. Ace is talking to herself. So is K9. Leela has stumbled on a murderous family conspiracy. And the beleaguered Lady President, Romanadvoratrelundar, foresees one of the most tumultuous events in her planet's history.

At the root of all is an ancient and terrible place, the House of Lungbarrow in the southern mountains of Gallifrey. Something momentous is happening there. But the House has inexplicably gone missing.

673 years ago the Doctor left his family in that forgotten House. Abandoned, disgraced and resentful, they have waited. And now he's home at last.

In this, the Seventh Doctor's final New Adventure, he faces a threat that could uncover the greatest secret of them all.

Plot[[edit] | [edit source]]

In a prologue, the Other stands on the Omega Memorial watching riots across Gallifrey shortly after Pythia's Curse. He contemplates suicide, but is stopped by the Hand of Omega. He decides on another plan to leave Gallifrey. Later, a young Doctor is up to mischief during a tutoring session with Badger; he distracts his tutor and runs outside.

Under Andred's command as Castellan, a young captain, Jomdek, is sent to Surveillance Actuary Hofwinter to send a classified transduction order. The datacube is intercepted, but Jomdek and Hofwinter report that it has been sent as instructed.

Ace, now living in 19th century Paris and going by Dorothée, is intercepted on her time-travelling motorbike and encounters what appears to be an exact duplicate of herself, who claims to be "Ace," not Dorothée, and is aiming a gun at her. They talk, and end up reminiscing about various identical life experiences, but "Ace" seems remarkably focused on learning more about the Doctor. Dorothée points this out, and "Ace" vanishes.

Andred fields questions from Almoner Crest Yeux about President Romana's whereabouts, to which he claims she is simply unavailable. In truth, Andred does not know where Romana has gone. Leela and her K9 visit Andred's office to tell him that they've found a data anomaly. Six hundred and seventy-three years ago, one of Andred's cousins, Redred, was sent on a mission to the House of Lungbarrow, where both he and the House itself went missing. Their conversation is interrupted by a call from Romana asking where her transduction order went, as the "guest" she was expecting never arrived. She claims that "everything" depends on the negotiations she is currently engaged in.

Yeux speaks to Jomdek, revealing that he is the one who intercepted the transduction order, which retrieved Dorothée.

Back in Andred's quarters, K9 informs Leela that all record of Lungbarrow's existence has been deleted. Leela never informed Andred that Lungbarrow was the Doctor's home.

Meanwhile on the TARDIS, Chris Cwej is experiencing nightmares. The Seventh Doctor finds him asleep in the bath. Chris tells him about his nightmare, which included a group of women reciting "eighth man bound", though he had not previously encountered the chant. The Doctor dismisses the dream, revealing nothing of what he might know about it.

In the House of Lungbarrow, Cousin Arkhew climbs into the clock in an attempt to find Quences's will. Owis, looking for food, encounters Glospin, who teases and scares him about the House Drudges and skinless skulls. Owis frames Glospin for stealing food, and the Drudges take Glospin away while Owis retreats to Innocet's room. Innocet is building a card tower, while Jobiska is waiting to play the board game Sepulchasm with Arkhew. Owis plays with her instead. The Doctor's TARDIS arrives in the House, restarting the clock and trapping Arkhew in it, as well as toppling Innocet's house of cards.

Chris and the Doctor exit the TARDIS, with Chris curious and the Doctor reluctant. Chris touches a cobweb, which sends him into a shared vision of the past with Arkhew. He sees the cousins of Lungbarrow preparing for Quences's Deathday. Two Cousins discuss who they think might inherit the House, with a leading contender being Glospin. They suspect that Glospin's job title of "cellular eugenicist" is a cover for a position in the Celestial Intervention Agency. They are confused by the presence of Owis, who is apparently the Doctor's Replacement, though the Doctor has not died. If the House has loomed more than its allotted 45 Cousins, it could mean a great scandal. Innocet confronts Glospin about documents he is intending to send to the Chapterhouse regarding the Doctor's claim to membership of the House. Quences refuses to read his will (and therefore, refuses to die) until all of his cousins are present (until the Doctor is present). Housekeeper Satthralope, in keeping with this wish, seals the House closed with all cousins inside and buries it under Mount Lung. Chris sees the First Doctor stab Quences. Glospin regenerates, and Satthralope convinces the House and herself that Quences is not dead, but in stasis.

Leela has K9 use Andred's security codes to access more restricted records on the Doctor, which alerts Yeux and the CIA. She is arrested. When she is questioned (mostly about the Doctor), chancellor Theora attempts to get her released, but finds the CIA's operations to be out of her and Romana's control, even when Romana apparently arrives in person. As Theora leaves, the capitol is bombed.

Innocet, learning about the bet between Owis, Arkhew, and Glospin to find Quences's will, sends Owis out to find Arkhew. Innocet encounters Cousin Rynde, who tells her that Cousin Maljamin has "gone away" like the rest of their Cousins.

Chris reawakens to the Doctor and the TARDIS missing. He finds a note telling him to stay put, but leaves to find the TARDIS anyway. He finds the Doctor in the kitchens. The Doctor claims not to know this place. Chris keeps hearing voices that the Doctor does not. They separate again, and Chris finds Glospin (wearing a different face than in the dream) imprisoned in an oven by the Drudges. Chris makes a few attempts to free him, at which point the Doctor returns and Glospin immediately recognizes him. Glospin and the Doctor argue, and Glospin reveals that it is Otherstide, the holiday commemorating the banishment of the Other and the exact anniversary of Quences's Deathday. After some small amount of begging, the Doctor gets Glospin out of the oven.

Innocet finds Owis talking to Maljamin, who has climbed into a chimney in an attempt to see the sky. She tells Owis to watch Maljamin and ensure he does not leave.

The Doctor, Chris, and Glospin find the TARDIS webbed to the ceiling of the main hall. Innocet arrives and confronts the Doctor just as he discovers that it is not, in fact, nighttime, and that it is dark because the House has been buried. Innocet tells the men that Arkhew has been murdered.

Theora and Romana, who had projected a hologram of herself earlier, call and discuss the bombing; while there was only one casualty, they determine that it was targeted at the Tharil embassy and cannot determine its source.

Andred, Romana's K9, and Leela's K9 rescue Leela and Dorothée from CIA custody. They are taken to the Presidential quarters to speak with Romana (again a projection).

Glospin goes to speak to Satthralope, who has not left her chair in decades. After being informed of the Doctor's presence, Satthralope sends the Drudges after him, but he and Chris are protected by Innocet officially inviting them as guests in accordance with the laws of Housepitality. Chris continues to have visions and nightmares of the Doctor's memories. Back in Innocet's room, Maljamin, who has been tied to a chair, attempts to escape, and Innocet eventually lets him without giving the Doctor a clear answer as to where he and the rest of their cousins have gone.

Unrest grows in the Panopticon about Romana's absence, which Lord Ferain and Yeux of the CIA take as an opportunity to seize power. Ferain calls for Romana's impeachment. Leela, Romana, and Dorothée talk while in a projection that looks like an impressionist painting. Romana tells the two humans that Gallifrey must change if it is to survive, and the Doctor is a key factor in this. She sends the two of them to the House of Lungbarrow to find the Doctor.

Innocet takes Chris to see the last family portrait, confirming that the person he saw kill Quences was, in fact, the Doctor. Chris has a vision of Quences banishing the Doctor from the House and revoking his name. Satthralope and Glospin confront the Doctor in person. Satthralope wakes the house against Glospin's wishes. The Drudges try to escort the Doctor to the library for imprisonment, but encounter Rynde and Owis along the way. Innocet and Chris find the Doctor as well. The Drudges try to detain the Doctor again, but Badger appears and defends him.

Back in Innocet's room, she and the Doctor play Sepulchasm while Chris has more visions of the Doctor killing Quences. The Doctor and Innocet discuss how the Doctor's old room has been rendered inaccessible by a lagoon flooding that wing of the House, likely caused by an experiment left by the Doctor. The Doctor also explains to Chris that his visions are being caused by the TARDIS rerouting the Doctor's subconscious to Chris's mind, as the Doctor's mind cannot contain all of his memories anymore. He also hypothesizes that this is why they ended up at the House in the first place.

Innocet, a talented telepath, proposes that Chris allow her into his mind to access the Doctor's memories and clear his name. The first memory they view does indeed show the Doctor stabbing Quences, but the second shows the Doctor somewhere else entirely shortly before the murder. He is in an office in the Capitol when the Hand of Omega enters his office, pestering him. Then, Glospin visits, informing him of anomalies in the Doctor's genetic coding that would imply he is not from Lungbarrow's genetic material. He intends to share this information with the Prydonian Chapterhouse in hopes of having the Doctor removed from the House legally. The Doctor denies this, and drafts a letter of his own informing the Chapterhouse of Owis's looming. He then uses energy from the Hand of Omega to activate and steal a Type 40 TT capsule.

Innocet accepts that the Doctor couldn't have been at the House when Quences was murdered. The Doctor encounters Quences's ghost, who again expresses disapéointment that the Doctor did not follow his wishes.

The Doctor and Glospin play Sepulchasm; the Doctor finds Quences's will in the Sepulchasm board.

Leela and Dorothée arrive in the House. They find Redred held in stasis in the House's sabotaged transmat chamber. The Drudges use Dorothée's groceries (still on her bike from before she was taken in) to make an Otherstide feast. At the feast, the House performs a puppet show reenacting the banishment of the Other. Chris, haunted by the Doctor's thoughts, has an outburst at the play, claiming it is inaccurate; Glospin again accuses the Doctor of being an infiltrator in the family. The Doctor asks for Innocet's help in finding his TARDIS. She refuses, saying that she can no longer trust him. The Doctor says he is no longer bound by Lungbarrow's rules, as he has been disinherited; Satthralope says that that cannot be confirmed until the will has been found. The Doctor procures the will and threatens to "wake Quences up." Badger releases Redred from stasis, who still believes it is the same day he arrived. Redred reveals that he had, upon arriving, delivered an edict from the Prydonian chapterhouse that Lungbarrow, having been found guilty of looming an additional cousin, has five days to appeal the decision before it is excommunicated from the chapter. This is, the Doctor suspects, why the transmat booth was sabotaged.

The TARDIS falls from the ceiling. The Doctor deactivates the hologram over Quences's "stasis chamber," revealing a picked-clean skeleton to the House. Satthralope loses control of the Drudges, who begin guarding the coffin. Redred reports that the Doctor's TARDIS is the same one that had been reported stolen "last night" (the night before Quences's Deathday). Glospin, revealing his CIA status to Redred, claims that the Doctor killed Quences and is not truly a Cousin of Lungbarrow. He encourages Redred to try and get into the Doctor's TARDIS for evidence.

Jobiska follows the other missing cousins while Chris becomes overwhelmed by the Doctor's subconscious; they both go to the flooded north annex together. Innocet, overwhelmed by these events, follows them, and the Doctor tries to stop her. A creature in the water (an experiment left behind by the Doctor) attacks both of them. The Doctor manages to get them safely to the other side of the lagoon, but Innocet does not want him following her. When Badger arrives to protect the Doctor, she attempts to run, and then threatens the Doctor with a sword. Badger fatally wounds Innocet. As she dies, she tells the Doctor that she did not want the House to know where the other cousins were. She tells him that they are all waiting for him in his own room. The Doctor finds a deep pit in his room that Chris, haunted and delirious, stands over. The Doctor cuts off Innocet's hair, which she had been growing and wearing on her back since the House was buried, and uses it as a rope to get down. He finds his Cousins all in a cavern at the bottom of this well, now surrounding Chris. The Doctor takes back some of his subconscious from Chris and feels all of his Cousins' hate for him at once.

At the lagoon entrance, Leela and Dorothée are discussing whether to follow the others when Romana arrives, this time in person. She is here on the run, having nowhere else to go after Ferain took over the capitol. The lost Cousins emerge from the north annex, and the House produces a bridge for them to cross the lagoon. Chris follows, carrying a beaten Doctor and enacting the Doctor's persona, Scottish accent and all. The Doctor rambles about Eighth Man Bound, saying that he could never see past his seventh regeneration and that he believes it is truly the end for him. Innocet, regenerated and weak, emerges as well. She, with the help of the Doctor's companions, attempts to enter his mind and save him, but can only successfully enter through Chris.

After seeing all of the Doctor's previous regenerations and an encounter with Time, the companions see the Other on the Omega Memorial (the same scene from the prologue). The Other goes to the city slums, where he visits Mamlaurea and his granddaughter, Susan, telling them to leave for Tersurus. Susan says she will be waiting for him.

In another flashback, the Other has a confrontation with Rassilon. The Other expresses disappointment at Rassilon's styling of himself as a god, then leaves. Rassilon orders all exits from the planet sealed. Glospin enters the vision, having found the companions. Everyone seeing the vision sees the Other enter the central progenitive chamber, dispersing his body into the loom data of Gallifrey.

They then see the First Doctor shortly after stealing his TARDIS. He has landed in the old days of Gallifrey, exactly a year after the Other's disappearance. The Hand of Omega leads him to Susan's place, where she immediately recognizes him as her grandfather. She was unable to leave due to Rassilon's closure of the spaceports. Though he does not know how, the Doctor knows her name. The two leave in the TARDIS, and the visions end.

When the group wakes up, Ferain and a number of CIA soldiers have them in custody and place them under "House arrest." Chris's mind has cleared, and the Doctor is healing. He says he has "jettisoned" his subconscious. The Doctor gives Dorothée canisters of nitro-9 that had been in his pockets since they were travelling together. They return to the main hall, where the returned Cousins are rummaging through the Doctor's belongings from his TARDIS. The Doctor enters the TARDIS and disables it, preventing anyone else from entry.

In the commotion, Leela and Dorothée sneak away to the kitchens. They prepare to detonate the nitro-9 to unbury the House. Dorothée notices that Leela is pregnant. A Drudge attacks them, but a creature from the Doctor's room enters and fights it off. Leela paralyzes the creature with a janis thorn.

The Doctor challenges the accusations against him. Satthralope enters, now having lost control of her own mind and speaking directly for the House. She still insists that Quences is asleep, not dead. The Doctor calls the House as a witness in the impromptu trial against him. Chris testifies, describing the Quences's murder as he saw it. Glospin claims that he was regenerating at the time of the murder and that Satthralope personally nursed him through the rebirth. The House denies this, claiming that regeneration is a private process. Only the loom records regenerations, and the House reveals that Glospin regenerated two separate times on that day. In his earlier fight with the Doctor, he sampled some of his DNA, and used it to regenerate into an identical form before regenerating into his current body. After it is proven that Glospin killed Quences, Owis admits to killing Arkhew on Glospin's orders. The House begins to crumble under proof that Quences is dead. The Doctor gives Quences's will to Badger, which summons Quences's ghost. Quences reveals that his murder had been predicted to him, and he had purposefully had his mind transferred to Badger instead of the Matrix. Quences confirms that his chosen successor is, indeed, the Doctor. Leela and Dorothée return to the main hall just as the charges detonate.

Everyone except the Doctor, Glospin, and Satthralope are able to escape the collapsing House. Romana orders the Doctor to retrieve the House loom data and keys, which he does. Chris returns into the House to save the Doctor; they escape in the TARDIS.

The Doctor gives the House keys and loom data to Innocet, proclaiming her Housekeeper. Romana promises that Lungbarrow will be reinstated as a Prydonian House and that a new House will be grown from the original template. Romana reveals that the negotiations she has been preoccupied with are with the Sisterhood of Karn, bringing the potential end of Pythia's Curse. Leela and Andred's child will be the first naturally born Gallifreyan child of the new era. The High Council has been calmed by Romana's return, and Ferain allows her to remain in power should she send the Doctor on the mission he intended for her: retrieving the Master's remains from Skaro. Chris decides to leave the Doctor, stating that he might return to Bernice Summerfield. The Doctor leaves everyone to their promised futures.

Notes[[edit] | [edit source]]

  • Lungbarrow wrapped up the last of the continuity of the New Adventures and put the Doctor on course to gather the Bruce Master's remains from Skaro, as depicted in the 1996 Doctor Who television movie. It is also one of a number of the New Adventures which is hard to obtain and is often seen on auction websites such as eBay at prices many times the original cover price.
  • Before losing their license to BBC Books, it had been announced that the Seventh Doctor's adventures would have continued in periodic Missing Adventures releases, with the Eighth Doctor taking over the NA line. Ultimately, only one Eighth Doctor novel was published and the MA line came to an end before any Seventh Doctor releases could occur. Future Seventh Doctor novels would be released under the BBC Past Doctor Adventures line.
  • The Seventh Doctor's last words in the Virgin New Adventures series are; "Dorothee! I just remembered. I haven't been Merlin yet!"
  • The novel which followed Lungbarrow, Lance Parkin's The Dying Days, featured the Eighth Doctor. When Virgin subsequently lost their license to print original Doctor Who fiction, they chose to focus on a character from the New Adventures which the BBC did not own, former companion Bernice Summerfield. Lungbarrow serves, in concert with Dying Days, to gradually increase the standing of Summerfield's character, laying the groundwork for the later appearance of the Seventh Doctor's then-companion, Chris Cwej, in Summerfield's own novels. Additionally, as part of Virgin's Black Lace erotic novels, the novel The Stranger (written by Portia Da Costa) centred around an individual called "Paul Bowman", who, by the author's own admission, was based upon the Eighth Doctor. The events of the novel were notably later mentioned in PROSE: Father Time and The Gallifrey Chronicles, thus unofficially making The Stranger a part of the DWU, albeit with a minor dating discrepancy.
  • This novel, however, was largely concerned with concluding what was known as the "Cartmel Masterplan". In the final two seasons of the original 1963-1989 run of Doctor Who, the then script editor Andrew Cartmel introduced new elements of mystery into the character of the Doctor. Suggestions of dark secrets that the Doctor might be more than just a Time Lord were inserted into scripts of stories such as Ben Aaronovitch's Remembrance of the Daleks and Kevin Clarke's Silver Nemesis. Had the series not been effectively cancelled in 1989, the following season would have made some of these revelations. Elements of Platt's planned Lungbarrow instead became part of the Season 26 serial Ghost Light.
  • Along the way to this resolution, Lungbarrow ultimately reveals much new information about the Doctor's home world and race, some of which had been hinted at ever since the first New Adventures novel. Many of the New Adventures authors migrated to the BBC Books Doctor Who line and elements of this backstory also made their way into subsequent novels. However, there have also been elements in those novels that contradict it.
  • The claim that Time Lords are born fully mature, never having a physical childhood, has been contradicted by several pieces of media.
  • In the television story The Time Monster, the Third Doctor tells Jo Grant a story regarding when he was a "little boy".
  • In all versions and adaptations of Shada, Romana II recalls having owned a Gallifreyan nursery book when she was "a time tot".
  • In the television story The Sound of Drums, the Master is shown as a child in a Time Lord ritual. The Tenth Doctor specifically mentions that before this ritual "[the c]hildren of Gallifrey [were] taken from their families [at the] age of eight to enter the Academy". The television story The End of Time reuses footage from Drums while the Master's childhood is discussed. In The End of Time, the Chancellor refers to the "simple task" of the four beats of a Time Lord's heartbeat being transmitted back in time and implanted into "the Master's mind as a child".
  • The Eleventh Doctor has a cot, seen in the television story A Good Man Goes to War, which he claims to have once slept in, and an incarnation is shown as a young boy in the television story Listen, in which he is described by a Gallifreyan man as "that boy".
  • In the television story The Girl in the Fireplace, Reinette describes the Doctor as having a "lonely childhood" and being "[s]uch a lonely little boy" while she looks inside the Tenth Doctor's mind. In TV: The Empty Child, the Ninth Doctor himself similarly remarks that he knows what it's like to be the "only child left out in the cold".
  • The Ninth Doctor agrees with Doctor Constantine's remark of being a "father and grandfather" in the television story The Empty Child, the Tenth Doctor recounts being "a dad" or "a father" in the television story Fear Her and The Doctor's Daughter and his twelfth incarnation mentions his "dad skills" in Listen. In the television story The Witch's Familiar, Missy mentions a daughter from "the olden days on Gallifrey". In the television story Hell Bent, the Twelfth Doctor mentions how the Doctor "stole" the moon and the President's wife, before correcting himself to say that was a lie from the Shobogans, and she was actually the President's daughter, and the moon was lost.
  • The television movie Doctor Who has the Eighth Doctor remember being with his father and The End of Time also has the Saxon Master asking the Tenth Doctor if he remembered the land on the slopes of Mount Perdition the Master's father owned.
  • In the television story Death in Heaven, the Twelfth Doctor recalls running together with the Master when the Doctor was "little".
  • In the television story Heaven Sent, the Twelfth Doctor recounts a memory from when he was a "very little boy" about a woman who resembled the Veil, which gave him nightmares for years.
  • A second edition of Lungbarrow, featuring both additions to and subtractions from the original text made by the author and accompanied by author's notes and new illustrations by Daryl Joyce, was released by BBCi as an e-book on the official Doctor Who website on 22 August 2003. It became inaccessible in 2010.
  • The Houses of Gallifrey are similar to the household featured in Peake's Gormenghast trilogy. Badger, a character who makes his first appearance in Lungbarrow, has much in common with a character in Peake's Gormenghast novella, Boy in Darkness, which originally appeared in the collected work Sometime, Never by Golding, Wyndham and Peake.[1]
  • Lance Parkin on an Outpost Gallifrey forum thread [2] stated in 2005 that the reason the last three books in the Virgin New Adventures range, including Lungbarrow, were so expensive on the secondary market was excessive demand, rather than an unusually low initial print run. However, he also noted that reprints of these books were not allowed, because Virgin's license expired before a second printing might otherwise have been made.
  • The numbering of this book as 60 of 61 refers to the publisher's intended order, which ultimately was not the actual order of publication. Because of chronic delays troubling Ben Aaronovitch's So Vile a Sin, eventually finished by Kate Orman, it was actually the 59th New Adventure published.
  • Marc Platt has stated that had he worked on the book today he would have done a number of things differently that it would have resulted in a drastically different novel. He had attempted to regain the rights to the novel so that Big Finish could adapt it but owed a massive sum of money in back taxes that it became impossible stating "I should have kept an original copy around since it would have more than likely have paid for the rights single-handedly."[source needed]
