Publisher's summary

It's like The Village That Time Forgot! The inhabitants of the quiet seaside town of Thorington in Suffolk are living the same day over and over again. What's so special about the 1st of September 1991? Why haven't the villagers noticed that the same song has been number one for years? And just where on Earth has the sea disappeared to? The Doctor and Lucie must solve the mystery before the 'visitors' return...

Notes

This story marks the first appearance of the Nestene Consciousness and the Autons in an audio drama.
This audio drama was recorded on 14 August 2007 at The Moat Studios.
In this story, Lucie makes specific reference to not being able to read Russian. An example of the apparently inconsistently limited functionality of the translation circuit.

Continuity

Sentient Autons like the ones seen in this story next appear in TV: The Pandorica Opens.
The Doctor mentions the Auton meteorites that fell to Earth in the 1970s. (TV: Spearhead from Space)
The events of this audio are still in the Doctor's memory when he is in his tenth incarnation. (PROSE: Autonomy)

Auton stories

For the purposes of this list, an "Auton story" is one in which one living, authentic Auton plays a part within the confines of the story, outside of flashbacks to previous stories and cliffhangers that lead into the following story. For this reason, stories such as Love & Monsters are absent due to the Autons' only contribution being references to past Auton stories.
