Synopsis

The Unnoticed are bound to keep themselves isolated from all history, or face a complete collapse from existence.

The Book of the Still is a lifeline for stranded time travellers — write your location, sign your name and be instantly rescued. When the Unnoticed learn that within the book someone has revealed both their existence and whereabouts they are forced into murderous intercession to find it.

Fitz knows where it is, but then he's the one who stole it. Carmodi, addicted to the energies trapped in frequent time travellers, also knows where it is. But she's the one who's stolen Fitz. Anji, alone on a doomed planet, trying to find evidence of a race that has never had the decency to exist, doesn't know where anybody is.

Embroiled in the deadly chase, the Doctor is starting to worry about how many people he can keep alive along the way...

Rhian mentally kicked herself for misreading the signals. She wasn’t very good at relationships; well, at least that’s what she said when explaining to herself why she hadn’t had any yet.
A good romp that's quite experimental. Tonally, this is basically like an adventure from the "RTD2" or "DisneyWho" era though its plot is the sort of thing Moffat would write. Though it only has like three original characters, I think they're all done pretty well. I genuienly want to see the Doctor meet Carmodi again (though I could say the same thing about Kopyion from The Pit). I don't know if its ideas and set pieces congeal together but I think they're quite good. Overall, pretty solid though maybe not the best EDA.

FITZ: I’ve been engineered to love you, Carmodi. With the Doctor... it’s the real thing.
