09 | Rise of the Cleggaron

Listeners may be entertained by a charming vignette from a classic work for children. But then the UN wages war on the BBC, Iran is calumniated, and a New American Hero steps up to free the free world from terror. On the thirty-ninth floor of the UN building, a new dimension of terror is unfolding; meanwhile the Doctor is musing about chickens.

All this in the new and thrill-packed episode of Doctor Who and the Shadow in Eternity.

The Doctor will call

Snow is foaming across York’s slate roofs as I write this.

The world’s bones are fractured: broken into rich and poor; ice-locked and sweltering; the listeners and the listened-to; the living and the dead.

Where is the bone-setter who can heal these breaks? Can the patient be persuaded that its fever, left unchecked, will devour it?

The Doctor will call.

But – this shadow! That has fallen across our hearts – is it the shadow of humanity’s collective guilt? Or is something yet more terrible drawing close to the surface? Some kraken that will beshadow the stars themselves?

The snow has ended. But this story will shortly begin.
