The Galois Group was the sixth and final story of Volume 12 of Big Finish Productions' Short Trips series. It was written by Felicia Barker and featured the Eleventh Doctor and Valarie.

Publisher's summary

There are rules to travelling in time, rules that Valarie Lockwood thought she understood. But, when she has an opportunity to break those rules, she seizes the chance. Valarie's going to have to learn the hard way that the laws of time are there for a reason.

Plot

An hour after an argument and subsequent reconciliation over the Web of Time, the TARDIS falls into what the Doctor describes to Valarie as a temporal pothole. They find that they have landed in the attic of mathematician Évariste Galois on 29 May 1832, the day before he is shot in a duel. Valarie suggests that they distract the opponent, but the Doctor reminds her that some things have to happen.

Walking around outside, Valarie falls through a rift and arrives in Sainte-Pélagie Prison in 1830, where Galois has been imprisoned after twice threatening King Louis Philippe with a dagger. She takes Galois with her through the rift to keep him from being killed in 1832 and confesses to the Doctor what she has done. He realises that Galois is the paradox that caused the TARDIS to land here and sends him back through the rift, with Valarie accompanying Galois per his request.
