Publisher's summary

The Sixth Doctor's fortieth anniversary celebrations continue, courtesy of LudoSphere Incorporated, with the greatest adventure ever streamed...

Responding to a distress call from an old friend, the Doctor and Mel find themselves in 'Cyberia', a prison camp run by an even older foe. But this time, the Cyber Leader's machinations are just the tip of one very sinister iceberg, one that will test the Doctor to his very limit, and beyond...

We hope you're hiding behind the sofa, because 'The Trials of a Time Lord' are about to begin!

Worldbuilding

  • Davros has heard of the Master and the legends of his "incompetence".

Notes

  • Davros (Early Imperial) closer look.
    This story was recorded on 27 and 29 February, and on 1 March 2024 at the Soundhouse.
  • The Dalek renders were provided by James Johnson[1].
    • Both Sean Longmore and Johnson make a distinct connection between Davros' chair featured on this release to the one featured on the cover of 2005's The Juggernauts, even so far as to mention that this new chair has been reconstructed from the remains of the one used on Lethe. Whilst the chair seen in The Juggernauts was intended to be a regular Dalek base, this iteration is styled more like his original chair, whilst taking design cues from the Necros Daleks featured in Revelation of the Daleks, including the lower black base and cream colours, whilst also incorporation two small interface discs to the front, reminiscent of the ones featured on Davros' Emperor Dalek chair as seen in Remembrance of the Daleks. Davros is also featured with a new robotic hand, similar in design to the one see in The Juggernauts.[2]
    • Corgi die cast release with Imperial Davros toy.
      Davros in a white and gold chair is also reminiscent of a toy created by Corgi in 2004, which featured Davros in Imperial Dalek colours opposed to his traditional black and silver.
