The Eighth of March

2019

Scattered through all of space and time, there are many women whose paths have crossed that of the Doctor. Some were once fellow TARDIS travellers, some staunch allies defending the Earth, and one was the Doctor’s wife… From Victorian London, to an intergalactic convention, from the offices of UNIT, to an impossible university library – on the 8th of March, four very different adventures will unfold. 1.1 Emancipation by Lisa McMullin When River Song crashes a Galactic Heritage convention, posing as the wrong Time Lord, Leela is sent by Gallifrey to investigate. But before the canapés are cold and the champagne becomes warm, they find themselves embroiled in a royal kidnapping. 1.2 The Big Blue Book by Lizzie Hopley With the Doctor AWOL, Benny and Ace are left to their own devices, going native in a Liverpool university. Benny accepts an invitation she really shouldn’t, and Ace meets a very strange collector. An alien library is about to gain a big, blue book… but where’s the TARDIS? 1.3 Inside Every Warrior by Gemma Langford The Great Detective, Madame Vastra, aided by her resourceful spouse, Jenny Flint, and loyal valet, Strax, is looking into a series of mysterious break-ins. An eccentric scientist and his put-upon assistant are the latest victims. Evidence mounts, with animal footprints and a trail of destruction. 1.4 Narcissus by Sarah Grochala When one of their own goes missing, Kate Stewart and the two Osgoods decide to investigate. Narcissus is interested only in the most beautiful people, but as the UNIT operatives are about to discover, its true purpose is something far from desirable.

Strange Chemistry

Scattered through time and space, many women have crossed paths with the Doctor – friends, foes, and figures from history – and there can be a strange chemistry when they meet… 3.1 A Ghost of Alchemy by Louise Jameson (4 parts) When the TARDIS lands in New York in 1921 the Doctor takes the opportunity to introduce Leela to one of the foremost women of the age - the great Marie Curie, visiting America to be celebrated for her work. But the time travellers are not the only people interested in the famous scientist. Sinister forces are gathering around her and the TARDIS crew will have to work their utmost to keep her safe on her historic journey through the United States. 3.2 Fairies at the Bottom of the Garden by Karissa Hamilton-Bannis (1 part) Young Amelia Pond is used to getting into trouble. After another fight at school, she is sent back to counselling. But her new therapist is rather unconventional… Because Missy is also in trouble. Stuck on Earth, she’s targeted one of the Doctor’s best friends to get his attention - but her timing’s off. Amy’s TARDIS encounters lie years in her past and future, but there’s something strange in her garden now. As Missy sets her sights on young Pond, the fairies may be her only hope!
