Singularity (audio story): Difference between revisions

Singularity was the seventy-sixth monthly Doctor Who audio story produced by Big Finish Productions. It was the third audio story to feature the Fifth Doctor and Vislor Turlough. It was released in November 2005, four years after Mark Strickson had appeared in AUDIO: Loups-Garoux. It is the last story to feature only the Doctor played by Peter Davison and Turlough played by Mark Strickson together as of 2013. However, there have been subsequent stories featuring Turlough, Nyssa and Tegan Jovanka together.

Publisher's summary

Russia, the near future.

The Somnus Foundation knows the fate of mankind; they promise a tomorrow where humanity will evolve into a godlike form of infinite power. They will lead us there, to a destiny that spans the stars. This is how the future will unfold.

The Doctor knows the fate of mankind; the human race is destined to fight and struggle for their very existence, to survive disaster and war and carve an empire from an unforgiving universe. He has seen it with his own eyes. This is how the future will unfold.

Beneath the towering headquarters of the Somnus, in the streets of Moscow a dark power is building, and a conspiracy that stretches across eternity is nearing completion.

Time is fracturing and the Doctor and Turlough are at the heart of the chaos. History is about to change and the galaxy will burn in its wake...

Plot

References

There is an Earth Empire colony on Rigel VII in 2620.
World War V takes place in the 49th century.
"Entropy Tuesday" is the name given to the day that universe ends. By that time, Xen is the last surviving human in existence.

Notes

The phrases "instrumentality of mankind" and "death and rebirth," as well as the goal of the Somnus Foundation, appear to be references to the anime Neon Genesis Evangelion and the Human Instrumentality Project from that series.
This would be the final audio drama released in the main range featuring Turlough until AUDIO: Cobwebs in July 2010. However, he appeared in AUDIO: Freakshow in March 2010.
This audio drama was recorded on 9 and 10 August 2005 at The Moat Studios.

Variant cover

In co-operation with Big Finish, 'Tenth Planet' released this audio in a limited edition with a different cover, designed by Stuart Manning, during the Dimensions convention in early November. 'Tenth Planet' also sold the limited edition CD on their website. Click on the thumbnail at right for a larger version of the alternate cover.

Continuity

Turlough suspects that another time corridor, such as the one which linked London in 1984 to the Prison Station at some point in the future, may be at work. (TV: Resurrection of the Daleks)
Pavel's conspiracy theory files include a photograph of a Yeti (TV: The Abominable Snowmen, The Web of Fear) and Tartokovsky's theory on N-Space (AUDIO: The Ghosts of N-Space).
Tired of Russia's climate, Turlough wishes to visit "somewhere tropical; sunny beaches and pretty girls. (TV: Planet of Fire)
Attempts by time travelling humans from the far future to kill their ancestors also occurred in London in the 1890s (AUDIO: The Spirit Trap) and all over Earth in 2008 (TV: The Sound of Drums).
