The Calendar Man was the first story of The Eleventh Doctor Chronicles, produced by Big Finish Productions. It was written AK Benedict, performed by Jacob Dudman and featured the Eleventh Doctor and Amy Pond.
Publisher's summary
Answering a cry for help, the Doctor and Amy arrive on a misty colony world – but nobody thinks anything is wrong. Nobody, except for one young woman, hiding in shadows and scribbling in her notebook.
Soon, Amy is on the trail of missing colonists, while the Doctor strides into the fog in search of a fairy-tale.
But time is running out, and the Calendar Man is flicking through the pages of their lives...
Plot
The Doctor and Amy return to the TARDIS after surviving an attack from a giant cephalopod and receive a message from a young woman. She asks for help as she is the only one in her colony noticing people going missing and, as a ticking from the message continues to reverberate around the console room, the Doctor and Amy agree to help.
Arriving in an unfinished and unseasonably foggy city on Rykland, the Doctor uses his sonic screwdriver to follow the now-imperceptible ticking. He and Amy meet Erla Farah and use the psychic paper to pose as agents of the Far Council and learn that Olivia Pamiac has been claiming that people's relatives have died. They continue to follow the signal to a hospital where the receptionist, Gloria, has not yet noticed that the clock behind her is moving far too fast.
The Doctor and Amy find mist covering a bedbound patient who asks them to apologise to a woman for him before hitting his flesh and passing away. The mist clears, revealing that his face and torso are charred and his chest is flattened; when Amy touches him, he crumbles away and a nurse sweeps his remains away. The Doctor and Amy protest but only they and Olivia, sat with a notebook, can remember that somebody was in the bed. She tells them that somebody has died every day for the past month and that they have to find the source of the fog.
The ever-present ticking has faded with the man's death. The Doctor continues to follow the fading signal, telling Amy to go with Olivia, to the marshlands.
Amy and Olivia go to the marketplace where Olivia tells Martina about her brother's death but, after a moment, Martina and everybody else believe that she is and has always been an only child. Olivia then takes Amy to the officers' quarters and shows her that all evidence of First Officer Alan Sigraff has been erased. They find his logbook in his cabin and learn that he led a mutiny against the innocent Captain Medina and wanted to apologise to his family.
