Audio A neat bit of pure blood Eighth and Charley with the original theme, which at the time was pretty rare (2019), with India Fisher reading all the parts. Running just under forty minutes, it's a relatively complex story about the horrors of war and those who continue to live with the consequences. The TARDIS team visit a gallery to see one of the Doctor's favourite artists, who is pretty quickly revealed to be a megalomaniac who has destroyed thousands of lives because the righteousness of her ideology has become drowned out by her methods. This is Hidden Empire writer Jaine Fenn's only contribution to Doctor Who, yet she captures the two main characters perfectly, especially Charley, who has a fine moment when she uses some true/false logic straight out of Jim Henson's film Labyrinth.
Placement: Probably between seasons with the cluster of Short Trips.
