A Thousand Tiny Wings was a Big Finish Doctor Who audio story featuring the Seventh Doctor. It was released in January 2010.

Publisher's summary

1950s Kenya. The Mau Mau uprising. A disparate group of women lie low in a remote house in the jungle, waiting for a resolution or for rescue. Among these British imperialists is Elizabeth Klein, a refugee from a timeline that no longer exists… thanks to the Doctor.

Reunited, the Doctor and Klein are forced to set aside their differences by terrifying circumstances. People are dying in this remote place. One by one. And there's something out there, in the jungle, accompanied only by the flutter of a thousand tiny wings…

References

The Doctor

  • The Seventh Doctor is wearing his linen suit.
  • He is wistful about travelling alone.
  • Klein is fervent that the Doctor destroyed her world and that her timeline is the proper one.

TARDIS

  • The Doctor refers to his TARDIS' universal translation abilities. However, it cannot translate Esperanto.

Notes

  • Although the feather on the cover is yellow, the feathers in the story itself are repeatedly described as being blue.
  • This audio drama was recorded on 25 and 26 June 2009.

Continuity

  • Klein mentions the events of BFA: Colditz.
  • Klein’s erasure from the timeline in BFA: The Architects of History altered the events of this story somewhat. The "new" Klein briefly mentioned that the Doctor had been in Kenya in 1953; no doubt the outcome of his visit stayed the same despite Klein’s absence.
