The Destroyer of Delights (audio story)

Publisher's summary
''“You will be always looking in the wrong place. I have searched through all of Time and I cannot find it.”''

The search for the Key to Time has stalled: the next segment does not appear to exist anywhere in the Universe. Forced into a temporary alliance with one of his greatest enemies, the Doctor suggests a course of action that is a validation of chaos itself.

Thrown at random across Space and Time, the Doctor and Amy arrive in 9th Century Sudan, where the greedy Lord Cassim is hoarding gold from the Legate of the Caliph. But why does Cassim look so familiar? What is the mysterious Djinni that lives out in the desert? And why does it need so much treasure?

Continuity

 * When the Doctor is talking to the Black Guardian at the beginning of the adventure, he mentions the pacts that the Guardian made with Turlough to kill him, and the ordeal he had put Turlough through in making such a deal. (DW: Mawdryn Undead)
 * The Black Guardian's associate, Djini, uses a targeting lure, (a jawaki, as the Black Guardian calls it) to try and destroy the White Guardian, Prince Omar and Amy. However, the Doctor realises that just as the Guardians' powers are diminishing so are his ideas. This is exactly the same tatic that Captain Wrack used to destroy other competing ships in the race for Enlightenment. (DW: Enlightenment)
 * Both items used to accomplish this task are pieces of jewellery: here it is Amy's necklace, whereas in DW: Enlightenment it is Tegan's tiara.
