1816

In June 1816, the Eighth Doctor was present at Lord Byron's summer home in Switzerland where Mary Shelley came up with the story of Frankenstein. (AUDIO: Storm Warning, AUDIO: Mary's Story)

At that same time, the Doctor was travelling with Samson and Gemma Griffin; he had left them in Vienna when he'd attempt to pick them up, but instead landed in Switzerland. (AUDIO: The Silver Turk)

The Doctor later returned to this time and place in his tenth incarnation to help the cross-dimensional traveller Zzazik. Mary Shelley received the inspiration for the name of her novel. (COMIC: The Creative Spark)
