The Marian Conspiracy (audio story)

Publisher's Summary
Tracking a nexus point in time, the Doctor meets Dr Evelyn Smythe, a history lecturer whose own history seems to be rapidly vanishing.

The Doctor must travel back to Tudor times to stabilise the nexus and save Evelyn's life. But there he meets the Queen of England and must use all his skills of diplomacy to avoid ending up on the headman's block...

Continuity

 * The Doctor does some serious name dropping during this story, mentioning meetings with Socrates(who he told to "stick to his guns" when it came to his theories), Sir Francis Drake, Henry VIII, Lady Jane Grey(who he met in the tower of London, persumably in 1554 before her execution), Sir Robert Cecil (Henry VIII's former advisor) and Queen Elizabeth I.
 * When viewing London from inside the TARDIS, Evelyn muses that it will all be burnt down in the Great Fire (of London), to which the Doctor lets out a breath - his fifth incarnation played a part in starting that fire in The Visitation.
