Klein's Story (audio story)

Publisher's summary
Elizabeth Klein is an anomaly, a renegade from an alternate future in which the Nazis won World War II. In an attempt to get to know his latest companion, the Doctor invites Klein to tell him how exactly she came to be in possession of his TARDIS and of the events that led to her trip into the past to Colditz Castle.

Cast

 * The Doctor - Sylvester McCoy
 * Elizabeth Klein - Tracey Childs
 * Johann Schmidt - Paul McGann
 * Major Jonas Faber - Rupert Wickham

Continuity

 * The TARDIS' design in this story is the same as in the DW: Doctor Who (1996), since Klein mentions that the Doctor has "redecorated" the ship since she last saw it when he was travelling with Ace.
 * The scene from DW: The Three Doctors in which the Second Doctor voices his displeasure with the new design of the TARDIS is echoed in a similar remark from Klein.
 * The Doctor mentions the TARDIS' "leopard skin" desktop theme. (DW: Time Crash)
 * In the alternative timeline, the Seventh Doctor regenerated for the same reason as in DW: Doctor Who (1996).
 * "Johann Schmidt" is a German variation of the Doctor's usual alias "John Smith". The Seventh Doctor had previously referred to himself as "Johann Schmidt" while impersonating a Nazi Reichsinspektor in May 1951 in another alternative timeline (NA: Timewyrm: Exodus). In the proper timeline, the Eighth Doctor would later use the name while posing as a German spy aboard the British airship R101 in October 1930. (BFA: Storm Warning)
 * Klein claims that she was unaware of the proper name of the TARDIS until she learned it from the Seventh Doctor in Colditz Castle in October 1944. However, she referred to it as such in BFA: Colditz before the Doctor ever used the name.
