Events
In 1899, the Fifth Doctor and Nyssa watched a Boxing Day mummers play in Stockbridge. The play recalled events seven centuries earlier that the Doctor and Nyssa were soon to live through: overthrowing the Rutans who inhabited Stockbridge Castle. Upon interacting with the Doctor, the actor who played the dragon recalled the experiences of his ancestor Osbert — a Rutan clone — and fell under Rutan control. After the TARDIS crew lived through the 1199 events, they returned to 1899 when the Rutan ship exploded (AUDIO: Castle of Fear [+]Loading...["Castle of Fear (audio story)"]) and they woke up in Stockbridge on 4 August 2009.
