Luna Romana (audio story)

 was the seventy-fifth release in the Companion Chronicles audio range. It was the seventh story of season 8. Uniquely, it featured both televised incarnations of Romana, as well as a third, who previously appeared only in the Gallifrey audio series. It is the only example of a "multi-Romana story".

Publisher's summary
The search for the final segment of the Key to Time takes the Doctor and the First Romana to Ancient Rome. The Time Lady is appalled when her companion prefers to watch the latest Plautus comedy rather than complete their mission, and is even less delighted to meet the playwright himself.

But all is not what it seems, either onstage or behind the scenes...

In the far, far future, the Second Romana is destined to have her own encounter with a legacy of Rome, but Stoyn has been waiting. And his actions will set Romana on a collision course with her own past.

Quadrigger Stoyn wants his final revenge on the Doctor, and only Romana stands in his way.

Both of her.

Continuity

 * The Doctor mentions Henry Gordon Jago's Palace Theatre and states that he will have to make a return visit. (AUDIO: The Justice of Jalxar)
 * Stoyn refers to the Sanctuary. (AUDIO: The Dying Light)
 * Stoyn shows the Doctor and Romana images from their past adventures, including Paris in 1979 (TV: City of Death), Cornwall in 1978 (TV: The Stones of Blood) and Cambridge in 1980 (TV: Shada). Additional images are shown of the First Doctor (TV: The Reign of Terror), the Second Doctor (TV: The Web of Fear) and the Third Doctor (TV: The Sea Devils, Invasion of the Dinosaurs).
 * Stoyn also shows them an image of a future adventure in Pudding Lane on 2 September 1666 which resulted in the outbreak of the Great Fire of London (TV: The Visitation) which the Doctor previously claimed was not his fault (TV: Pyramids of Mars; PROSE: The Republican's Story).
 * Luna Romana offers them the opportunity to see a reconstruction of the Battle of Reykjavik, the first battle of World War VI in the early 51st century. (TV: The Talons of Weng-Chiang; AUDIO: The Butcher of Brisbane)
 * The sequence where Romana meets herself and instructs her to enter the vortex is similar to what happens to Amy Pond in TV: Space and Time. Romana even tells her earlier self "this is where it gets complicated" as Amy told herself.
 * The Doctor says that he has visited an alternate future in which the Roman Empire never fell but did not enjoy it very much. (COMIC: Doctor Who and the Iron Legion)
 * K-9 spent time playing games with the TARDIS computer while marooned in the TARDIS during their recent visit to Delta III. (TV: The Power of Kroll)
 * When Stoyn asks Romana II about the circumstances of her regeneration (TV: Destiny of the Daleks), she evades the question, referencing something about a wardrobe. (PROSE: The Lying Old Witch in the Wardrobe)
 * The future Romana states that Gallifrey has entered its "darkest hour again", implying that there have been Time Wars before the one she appears to be facing. Romana III faced a war in PROSE: The Shadows of Avalon; AUDIO: Renaissance establishes that the Romana portrayed by Landau is a later incarnation, not the third.
 * Romana II, when she goes back in time, notes how the Doctor's clothes have changed since then (referencing the change in costume between TV: Shada and The Leisure Hive).
 * During her brief excursion into the past, Romana II briefly meets the Fourth Doctor, but while disguised. From the Doctor's perspective, this is his first encounter with Romana's second incarnation, though he is not aware of this fact until later.
 * The future Romana consistently refers to her earlier incarnations as the First and Second Romanas, confirming that there were no previous incarnations prior to her first joining the TARDIS. (TV: The Ribos Operation)
