Publisher's summary

On nineteenth-century Earth, artist Edvard Munch hears an infinite scream pass through nature. Centuries later, his painting of that Scream hangs in a gallery on the barren dust world Duchamp 331.

Why is there a colony of artists on a planet that is little more than a glorified garage? What is the event that the passengers of the huge, opulent pleasure cruiser 'Gallery' are hoping to see? And what is hidden in the crates that litter the cargo hold?

The Doctor's diary indicates that the painting is about to be destroyed in "mysterious circumstances", and when he and Ace arrive on Duchamp 331, those circumstances are well underway.

References

  • Mr. Seta is an anagram of "Master."
  • The Warp Core strips the Trakenite aspects of the Master's body, leaving only the decaying Time Lord, which is a contradiction of NA: First Frontier where the Tzun cure the Master of the Cheetah Virus AND the corrupted Trakenite DNA.

Notes

  • This story marks the first appearance of the Master in an audio play.
  • Some of the character names are derived from famous artists - Madam Salvadori (Salvador Dali), Klemp (Gustav Klimt) and Damien Pierson (Damien Hurst).
  • The planet Duchamp is named after French-born US artist Marcel Duchamp. In 1920, Man Ray photographed the dust accumulating on the surface of Duchamp's "Large Glass" construction; the resulting image was titled Dust Breeding.
  • Geoffrey Beevers appeared as Private Johnson in DW: The Ambassadors of Death and as the Master in DW: The Keeper of Traken. He is the real life husband of Caroline John.

According to one account, the Master had the appearance of Roger Delgado while on Gallifrey. According to another, he had Anthony Ainley's likeness. According to another one, the one with James Dreyfus's appearance was the incarnation who ran away from Gallifrey.

Divided Loyalties, A Brief History of Time Lords and The Legions of Death feature, or otherwise acknowledge, the War Chief, but in the process contradicted the notion put forward by other stories that he was an incarnation of the Master.

One account suggests that the incarnation portrayed by Roger Delgado may be the same as the one portrayed by Peter Pratt while some others distinguish them.

According to one account, the incarnation portrayed by Gordon Tipple is the one portrayed by Anthony Ainley, while some others state that the Ainley one was already lost by then.

While fighting to extend his life at the end of his regeneration cycle, many bodies were possessed by the Beevers incarnation, but all kept somehow reverting to his real being until he finally regenerated into the MacQueen one. Hence, these sections cannot be strictly chronological
