The Fearmonger (audio story)

Publisher's Summary
The Doctor and Ace are on the trail of a monster that not only knows their every move but appears to be able to anticipate their actions too. The head of the far right New Britannia party survives an assassination attempt, but the Doctor suspects there is far more to the affair than the failed slaying of a politician. As he and Ace fight their way through the prejudices which blind everyone touched by a very particular monster, they face the prospect of the entire world being plunged into a bitter war of mistrust and mutual loathing...

Continuity

 * Several references are made to the Doctor's past involvement with UNIT - although his old employers disavow any knowledge of his actions as their political rammifications increase during this story. UNIT appears to have been particularly lax with the Doctor's file of late - besides a well connected source like Roderick Allingham having acess to it (see below), students Walter Jacobs and Stephen Keyser have also seen a copy (how is not explained). This perhaps indicates the problems the Doctor increasingly faced towards the beginning of the 21st century as his high profile interventions in Earth's history became progressively more difficult to hide from the public.
 * Roderick Allingham, New Britannia's media manager, worked for Department C19 for many years - hence his access to the Doctor's UNIT files. He left this position some years before this story, not for political reasons, but because Sherilyn Harper offered to pay him "a mint".
 * The Doctor has several melancholy moments during this adventure, musing at one point that he is so old he fears nothing now, apart from the fear of Ace's death - which nearly happens when she is shot by the terrorist faction, United Front.
 * Ace's old friend from Perivale, Paul Tanner, makes an appearence in this story.
