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.

Notes[]

  • This story was originally entitled Dream Home.[1]
  • Dialogue within the story calls into question how trustworthy the narrator actually is. Thus, it is difficult to know just how accurately the Doctor, Sara and Steven are portrayed.
  • This story has some commonality with both the comic story Funhouse and the audio story The Chimes of Midnight in that the key antagonist is an intelligent house.
  • This is an unusual Companion Chronicle in that the returning actor from Doctor Who portrays the nominal villain of the piece.
  • This audio drama was recorded on 8 September 2008 at the Moat Studios.
  • This story is set between episodes seven and eight of The Daleks' Master Plan.
  • This story is told from Sara's perspective.
