What a nice one to start off on (what happens in it isn’t nice but I’m sure you get what I mean). This main range is an absolute gem by Paul Magrs. And that comes from a Mancunian himself. I’ll be honest, I had no idea this happened before I listened to it.

This adventure is a pure-historical (no aliens but they go back in time) where the Fifth Doctor (Peter Davison), Tegan Jovanka (Janet Fielding) and Nyssa (Sarah Sutton) crash into August 1819 after the TARDIS gets caught in the smog from the industrial revolution and falls into the garden of the house of factory owner and all-around idiot, Mr Hurley (Robbie Stevens). The usual stuff happens where Mr Hurley tries to take advantage of the TARDIS and at the end of part 1 when the Doctor realises where (or should I say when) is executed perfectly.

The way this story talks about real and horrific tragedies committed by the upper class that were overlooked at the time and also how it isn’t afraid to get real and dark is done really well and I want to thank Paul Magrs for this amazing main range installment.
