  • Praxis gas can kill a Time Lord through an allergic reaction.

Notes[]

  • This story was recorded on 22 November 2016 at Ladbroke Audio.
  • Even though the Eighth Doctor is in the story, he travels incognito and is never directly referred to as "the Doctor" throughout the story. However, Nyssa recalls travelling with "her Doctor" and in the story the Doctor identifies himself as being three regenerations after travelling with Nyssa.
  • Performed in the style of The Companion Chronicles, this story is told from Nyssa's perspective.
