Publisher's summary
Mary had a little lamb, its fleece was white as snow
And everywhere that Mary went, that lamb was sure to go.
The TARDIS is empty. The Doctor has gone.
Jo Grant steps outside into the darkness and finds the frozen body of her friend, and the ship's log recorder. On it is attached a simple message - 'Use Me'.
As she explores this place, recording her every move, Jo discovers the horror that lies in the shadows.
But by then it is too late.

References
- Jo spent approximately two hours going through the TARDIS wardrobe trying on different outfits. She considered many of them "groovy."
- The Doctor has Venusian conkers and jelly babies.
- Jo claims that she is "pretty nifty at karate" and that she once rendered Sgt. Benton unconscious.
- The first phonograph recording ever made was Thomas Edison reciting "Mary Had a Little Lamb" in 1877.
Notes
- This story was recorded on 18 October 2012.
- In several scenes, Jo, the Doctor, and Benjamin are forced to swap bodies in order to communicate when the Doctor is rendered voiceless. Thus, by the end of the story, Damian Lynch has played all three characters and Katy Manning has played both Jo and the Doctor.
