Home Truths (audio story)

Home Truths was the fifth story of the third series in The Companion Chronicles audio range. It was produced by Big Finish Productions. It was written by Simon Guerrier. It featured Jean Marsh relating two stories: one told as a matter of historical reflection, featuring Sara Kingdom, Steven Taylor and the Doctor; and the other occurring a thousand years later, featuring a policeman named Robert and an older version of Sara.

It was the first piece of performed Doctor Who to feature Sara Kingdom since the character's death in "The Destruction of Time" in January 1966. It began a trilogy later continued in the The Drowned World and The Guardian of the Solar System.

Publisher's summary
There's a house across the waters at Ely where an old woman tells a strange story.

About a kind of night constable called Sara Kingdom. And her friends, the Doctor and Steven. About a journey they made to a young couple's home, and the nightmarish things that were found there. About the follies of youth and selfishness. And the terrible things even the most well-meaning of us can inflict on each other.

Hear the old woman's story. Then decide her fate.

Continuity

 * Sara tells Robert that during her travels with the Doctor and Steven, she visited Hollywood in 1921 where a film director tried to hire her to replace the leading lady, (TV: The Daleks' Master Plan) that a small boy, who was also named Robert, died in her arms on Mars (PROSE: The Little Drummer Boy) and that she encountered a withered old man who was trapped in the workings of a clock. (AUDIO: The Guardian of the Solar System) The latter reference is unique in that it referred to a forthcoming Companion Chronicles story.
