Synopsis

On a remote human colony planet, under the cover of a protective dome, young Diana Winter summons the TARDIS. Brought to her side by the power of a mysterious calling card, the Doctor and Clara are given one of their unlikeliest assignments yet. Yet it is one that will have far-reaching consequences...

Many years later, on the homeworld of the alien Golhearn, the time travellers once again meet Diana - but this time the stakes are much higher. The Golhearn's savage madness is threatening to destroy their own civilisation, and Diana has a personal reason to call for the Doctor once again. Is he willing to assist, or must Clara go it alone? Can anyone discover the cause of the monstrous insanity that threatens them all?

And so the Winter saga from James Goss is underway! This story introduces us to Diana Winter and the overall mystery, a card that Diana Winter found with her mother that can summon the Doctor at any point from throughout time and space. At the beginning of the story, young Diana uses it in order to summon the Doctor because her cat is missing. There they discover the alien Golhearn suffering from the 'madness' that makes them feral. The Doctor saves the day, but is called back forty years later to his annoyance. The Golhearn are worse than ever, and their madness is tearing the colony apart. It's well-narrated by Claire Higgins, and has an enjoyable plot twist where the Golhearn's 'God' is an ejected toner cartridge expelling radiation. Still, the mystery of the cards remains. A good way to spend 75 minutes, and the Doctor and Clara felt true to themselves. Interested to see where this goes.
