Synopsis

The Doctor's return to Nest Cottage lands him in trouble when a key component from the TARDIS disappears. Mrs Wibbsey is inadvertently responsible, but all she can offer in recompense is a bag containing four curious objects. It seems that each one is a clue, and the beginning of a chase through time.

In ancient Sussex they are apprehended by primitive tribesfolk, and mistaken for wizards. Can the revered goddess Wibbsentia get them out of hot water?

Who is the fearful wizard in the neighbouring village, and why is the countryside littered with bodies?

The Doctor and Mrs Wibbsey are about to discover that all is not right with history...

This is part of a series of reviews of Doctor Who in chronological timeline order.

Previous Story: Hive of Horror

I found the Doctor's characterisation a bit off here. He's weirdly rude to Mrs Wibbsey and dismisses her wanting to go back to her own time fairly easily. Other than that though it was a fairly good story, it sets up what seems to be a very interesting mystery. While I did enjoy the campfire-story format of Hornets' Nest I'm glad this one shifts to a more traditional format.

As a side note I really like the cover for this one, it has a lot of thought put into it and looks great compared to Big Finish's often generic style.

Next Story: The Demon of Paris

DOCTOR: I'm an almost perpetual traveller. I wander through the vast star-fields of the universe. I cross the bridges between dimensions. I traipse the towpaths of Time.
