The Institute of Forgotten Souls was the third story in the audio anthology The Doctor and Carnacki, produced by Big Finish Productions. It was written by Jonathan Barnes and featured Sylvester McCoy as the Seventh Doctor and Dan Starkey as Thomas Carnacki.
Publisher's summary[[edit] | [edit source]]
In the heart of England in 1936 there lies a home for wounded men. It is a strange, shadowed place, full of secrets.
Terrible beasts prowl the grounds, as if guarding something dreadful. Inmates are disappearing, picked off one by one, while a singular resident - a certain, now retired ghost finder - bravely staves off the darkness.
Yet tonight is the night when it's all going to end. For tonight is the night when the Doctor comes to call...
Plot[[edit] | [edit source]]
Part one[[edit] | [edit source]]
The Doctor exits the TARDIS without checking the scanner as part of his new endeavour to be more carefree and learns from Sergeant Price that he is in the Institute in England, 1936. Joyce Harrison, originally the matron but now the sole employee, assumes that the Doctor has come to deal with strange phenomena that has been happening at the Institute, which she explains is a facility for "invalided" soldiers of World War I such as the perpetually agitated Price. When the howling figures who have been haunting the Institute arrive, Price runs to Carnacki's room and joins him in his protective circle, soon followed by the Doctor and Joyce.
