The Romanov Project was an exclusive-to-audio story from BBC Audio featuring the Thirteenth Doctor, Yasmin Khan, Ryan Sinclair and Graham O'Brien, written by Niel Bushnell, released on 7 December 2023.
Publisher's summary
Toby Longworth reads this original adventure for the Thirteenth Doctor and Graham, as played on TV by Jodie Whittaker and Bradley Walsh.
There is a darkness here. A darkness that feeds.
It's 1970, and record-breaking explorer Silvia Sandstrom has completed an epic lone drive to the North Pole. But as she activates her on-board experimental equipment, her vehicle is swallowed by a massive hole in the ice.
Meanwhile the TARDIS is drawn to an arid wasteland, also apparently at the North Pole. There the Doctor and Graham meet Silvia - but it's clear that she is a woman out of her own time.
Why is a nearby experimental base haunted by deranged figures? And who is the genius behind the Romanov Project, the wave of energy that now threatens to rip the Earth apart at every point in history?
Toby Longworth reads Niel Bushnell's atmospheric story about human endeavour and its consequences.
Plot
In a snowcat running low on fuel, Silvia Sandstrom finally reaches the North Pole and switches on a NASA device to make contact with the Nimbus satellite as it passes overhead. She suddenly feels as though she and the snowcat are falling and hears angry voices around the vehicle, one of which she hears warning about "the darkness that feeds".
An energy wave at the North Pole confuses the TARDIS's navigational trackers and the Doctor tasks Graham, who has started thinking about leaving the ship, with keeping an eye on the helmic regulator after they land in Sheffield. Ryan and Yaz go to buy ice creams and the TARDIS dematerialises, dragged along the path of a temporal disturbance, with the Doctor and Graham inside. They black out and, when they awaken, find that they have materialised in a wasteland which the Doctor deduces was once a seabed.
