Winter of the Demon (audio story): Difference between revisions

[[The TARDIS]] materialises in [[Princes Street Gardens]] in [[Edinburgh]] in the [[19th century]] and [[Eighth Doctor|the Doctor]], [[Charlotte Pollard|Charley]] and [[Audacity Montague|Audacity]] learn from a [[newspaper]] of a series of inexplicable [[death]]s for which the season has been named the Winter of the Demon. The Doctor visits the [[mortuary]] and disagrees with [[Joe Coghill]]'s death being put down to [[electrocution]] rather than intense heat, believing that he might have disturbed something in the [[tunnel]]s beneath [[Calton Hill]] where he was installing cabling and found an ancient [[coin]].

Deciding to investigate Coghill's employer, Charley and Audacity go to an [[Edinburgh Power Corporation]] [[party]] with [[Archie McClellan]], [[Captain]] of the [[Scots Guard]]. Audacity meets [[Maggie MacKenzie]], an [[archaeologist]] working at [[Cramond]], and Charley manages to charm [[Donald Shaw|Sir Donald Shaw]] into allowing her and her friends to stay at the party despite them not having been invited. When the Doctor arrives at the party, he questions Sir Donald about the Edinburgh Power Corporation's connection to each of the deaths and decides that he and Audacity will investigate Maggie's dig where other [[Rome|Roman]] coins have been found.
