The Horror (audio story): Difference between revisions

The Doctor is missing in action. As Gallifrey and Skaro face total destruction, Time Lord and Dalek forces converge on the realm of the Barber-Surgeon. From his junkyard fortress in a lost dimension, the renegade warmonger is about to create his ultimate weapon...Who or what can possibly stop him?

Worldbuilding[[edit] | [edit source]]

The Doctor calls out to Susan, Sarah, Leela, Romana and Ace.
The Constable sings "Here we go round the prickly pear at five o’clock in the morning" which is a quotation from The Hollow Men by T.S. Eliot, the same poem which the Barber-Surgeon referenced in The Mission.
The Constable uses matches that don't go out, and claims that 'the Foreman' invented them.
The Constable refers to the Barber-Surgeon as 'the Foreman'.
The Hunter-Killer orders Daleks to consult the Pathweb.
The Dalek Emperor sends Special Weapons Daleks to destroy the Dalek Time Strategist.
The Barber-Surgeon's ultimate weapon is a temporal obliterator called 'the Unforgiving Minute' which he described as a 'trap for fools' that the Doctor must flee with 'sixty seconds' worth of distance run'; all quotes from the poem If— by Rudyard Kipling.
The Barber-Surgeon provides the War Doctor with a Time Ring to escape from his domain.
The Doctor reasons that, now that the Barber-Surgeon has been wiped from history, his campaign and the deaths he brought about have been averted as well.

The Barber-Surgeon has set up base in Totter's Yard. (TV: An Unearthly Child et al.)

The Doctor and the Barber-Surgeon discuss the Surgeon's killing of the War Master. (AUDIO: The Abyss)
The Barber-Surgeon mentions the Doctor and the Master's battles during his "UNIT days". (TV: Terror of the Autons)
The Dalek Emperor considers itself a god. (TV: The Parting of the Ways)
As he dies the Barber-Surgeon notes that "the moment has been prepared for", (TV: Logopolis) which the Doctor later ponders if it was a hint towards the end of the War. (TV: The Day of the Doctor)
