Cast

Notes

  • Unlike most Companion Chronicles, this story does not feature any narration. It is full cast story with only two speaking characters.[1] The Doctor occasionally speaks through Jamie's body. Zoe Heriot is also with the Doctor. She advises, but is not heard.
  • Jamie experiences a segment of time that has been split into ten moments and rearranged, from his perspective, as well as the listener's. The listener can hear the proper sequence of events by changing the order that the CD or download tracks are played. The arrangement of the ten relevant tracks is 2, 4, 12, 9, 6, 10, 13, 5, 11 and 3.

Critical reception

Doctor Who Magazine reviewer Matt Michael strongly praised the play.[2]
