'''Edward Grove''' was a sentient [[Edwardian era|Edwardian]] house, alive only during the moments of the chimes of midnight. | '''Edward Grove''' was a sentient [[Edwardian era|Edwardian]] house, alive only during the moments of the chimes of midnight. When the [[Eighth Doctor]] and [[Charley Pollard]] went to the house on [[25 December]] [[1906]], they created a paradox which made the house stronger. Typically such moments of sentience were temporary events caused by traumatic events, such as a murder, but the presence of the Doctor and Charley unintentionally created a temporal paradox. Scullery maid [[Edith Thompson]] would go on to work for the Pollard family in the 1930s, but she would commit suicide after Charley's apparent death in the [[R-101]] crash, only for Charley's appearance in 1906 to essentially remove Edith's reason for killing herself. | ||
As a result, Edith Thompson's death became a focus of a two hour [[time loop]] 'inhabited' by the residents of the house, each of them trapped in a loop where some of them would die at the moment that the clock struck. At midnight, the people came to life again, and the loop started again. | |||
When the Doctor and Charley convinced Edith that her life had meaning, the paradox and the time loop were broken and Edward Grove was defeated. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Chimes of Midnight (audio story)|The Chimes of Midnight]]'') | |||
