Publisher's summary
Like everyone else in 2017, the Doctor is doing a podcast.

Named the 'People of St Lukes', the podcast is about the everyday lives of students at the university. Only, with the Doctor involved, the everyday is dangerous and extraordinary.

Something's lurking in the A/V department, something that is trapped in old equipment... as the Doctor quickly discovers, outdated technology does have a role in the modern world.

That role? Ending it.

 * The Doctor refers to the TARDIS' history of melting clocks, (TV: The Edge of Destruction) having Vortisaurs in the corridors, (AUDIO: Storm Warning, Sword of Orion, et al.) and middle-aged archaeologists being born to young women. (TV: The Almost People, A Good Man Goes to War)
 * The Doctor refers to his self-doubt about being a good man, (TV: Into the Dalek) and how he later learned the goal should rather be in the trying. (TV: Death in Heaven)
 * The Doctor regrets inadvertently bringing the Mandragora Helix to Italy, (TV: The Masque of Mandragora) and the Family of Blood to England. (TV: Human Nature / The Family of Blood)
