Publisher's summary
London, 1851.
Scene of the Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of All Nations.
Scene also of a plot to unseat the government, dethrone the monarch and start a republic.
If the Duke of Wellington himself is to be believed...
While the Doctor and Charley are drawn into the murky world of nineteenth-century politics, C'rizz struggles to maintain his dignity against growing odds.
What begins as an attempt to prevent murder quickly becomes a desperate race to avert revolution. Separated from the TARDIS, the travellers are left to wonder if they'll get their own lives back or be forever entangled with the lives of others.
And who is Mrs Georgina Marlowe? What need does she feel the Doctor can satisfy?

Notes
- This is the first of two audio dramas released in the main range to feature the Duke of Wellington as a character, the second being BFA: The Curse of Davros in January 2012 in which he was played by Granville Saxton. He does not actually meet the Doctor in either story.
- Francesca Hunt (Georgiana Marlow) is the elder sister of India Fisher (Charley Pollard) in real life.
- This audio drama was recorded on 29 and 30 April 2005.
Continuity
- The Second Doctor previously met the Duke of Wellington in September 1805 and May and June 1815. (PDA: World Game) Later in his personal timeline, the Doctor visited the Duke in 1816 and they went on a trip to Brighton, where they met the Prince Regent. (PDA: Players) As was the case with his second incarnation, the Sixth Doctor was present at the Battle of Waterloo on 18 June 1815. The same was true of Davros and the Daleks. (BFA: The Curse of Davros)
- The Fifth Doctor once attempted to take his companions Nyssa and Tegan Jovanka to the Great Exhibition but the TARDIS instead arrived at Heathrow Airport in 1982. (DW: Time-Flight)
- The Doctor once again observes that "sleep is for tortoises." (DW: The Talons of Weng-Chiang)
- Charley previously visited the Crystal Palace as a child. (BFA: The Next Life)
