Doctor Who Circle of Memory

Dan Starkey reads this original adventure for the Eleventh Doctor, Amy and Rory.

“Hello, I’m the Doctor… Doctor someone… can’t remember who at the moment. Hoping it will come back to me.”

On a planet with twin suns, three people wake in the shadow of a crashed spaceship. They don’t know who they are or where they are. All they have to go on is a photograph of themselves marked ‘Amy and her boys: Rory and the Doctor’. It’s obvious who Amy is – but which of them is the Doctor?

A voice recorder in one of their pockets reveals how the TARDIS materialised some days earlier in the centre of a stone circle and the travellers met blue-skinned Sunaya, apparent sole survivor of the crashed ship.

Yet Sunaya isn’t who she claims to be, and she is also far from alone. She and her children have been waiting to feed on the memories and identities of the living.

And as their own memories fade, the Doctor, Amy and Rory are in danger of being left behind for ever…

Dan Starkey, who has played several roles in the BBC TV series, reads Bob Ayres's intriguing tale.
