A Sting in the Tale (audio story)

A Sting in the Tale is the fourth in the Hornets' Nest arc, a series of five audio dramas featuring Tom Baker as The Doctor alongside Richard Franklin as Mike Yates.

Synopsis
The Doctor arrives in a bleak English midwinter of long ago. Plunging into the snowy landscape of the Dark Ages, he learns that wild dogs besiege the local Tilling Abbey every night. When he is given shelter by the sisters of the abbey, he begs an audience with the Mother Superior whom they fiercely protect. Something unearthly has happened here. If the Doctor is right, it's connected to his recent encounters with an ancient enemy. As night falls again, the dogs can be held off no longer and the sisters' secret is about to be revealed. Forced to draw his enemy into the depths of the TARDIS, the Doctor finds himself in a nightmarish chase through his own ship. Is he the pursuer, or the pursued? As they fight on his own ground, the hornets are determined to possess his mind.
