"The Target novel you never asked for, but secretly really wanted." A message on psychic paper. A thought projected across time and space. Someone wants to see the Doctor, but who? The answer will take him and Rose far into the future, to New Earth, where a posh hospital staffed by cat-nuns is hiding a dirty secret - one the vengeful stretched-skin, Lady Cassandra, is all too keen to discover. For this, she needs Rose's help... or rather, her body! A novelized retelling of Doctor Who's undervalued second series debut, originally broadcast on 15 April 2006 and now in audio form!

    Chapter 10 - The Echo of Life

    A debate with a cat: do the ends justify the means? The Doctor in full Oncoming-Storm mode against nice Novice Hame, sowing the seeds of his Waters of Mars hubris years before the fact. At least until Rose – who’s been noticeably 'meh' about all the unethical practices going on in this medical establishment – decides it’s her turn in the spotlight. And lo, the imposter reveals herself at last… Oh, wake up and smell the perfume, who else did you think it was gonna be?

    Chapter 9 - Intensive Care

    Rather intense, this one (geddit? intense?). Following on from their unexpected canoodling session in Ward 26, Rose – or is she? – gives the Doctor a crash-course in mainframe terminal hacking, and hey presto! The true horror of the hospital’s gruesome secret is revealed… About that Tomb of the Cybermen reference: I’m sorry, I’m so sorry.

    Chapter 8 - Miss Tyler, I Presume?

    Mysteries abound in Ward 26, as the Doctor and Rose investigate! Just how do the Sisters work their medical magic? Why are all the patients fine, when they should be dead or dying? What’s with Rose’s new voice? And why has she suddenly taken up tonsil-tennis? Is anything really what it seems...? Also: the Duke of Manhattan takes up flirting, Frau Clovis gets jealous, and Novice Hame reflects. Includes bad manners, brainy specs, champagne, far-future diseases, some terrible Cockney, a sleepy Face of Boe and a Carry On reference. Oh, and snogging. Ooh matron, indeed!

    It's a medical miracle! A previously petrified patient in Ward 26 has inexplicably recovered from his terminal condition, but the Sisters remain suspiciously tight-lipped on the matter. The Doctor is on the case! Downstairs, meanwhile, Cassandra-Rose – she of Wonderbra fame – readies herself for some good ol'-fashioned Time Lord seduction… Written and read by Daniel RawnsleyA VERY special thank you to ⁠THE CELESTIAL⁠⁠ MECHANIC ⁠ for composing an original musical piece for this chapter!A HUGE thank you to illustrator Amera Altahan for her marvellous artwork!Official Podcast Cover Art: Andy WalkerSound Effects: Freesounds, BBC Sounds, The Hollywood Edge Sound Effects Library and Pixabay.

    Chapter 6 - Body-Snatched

    Lonely gods and bouncy castles, oh my! Lady Cassandra, having a chav-tastic time living it up inside Rose: mind, body, and Cockney rhyming-slang. We get a peek into the Doctor’s mind as well – and there’s even a nod to The TV Movie in there somewhere. Cor blimey, guv’nah!

    Chapter 5 - The Face of Boe

    Bit special, this one. The Doctor chats to his new friend, young Novice Hame, as she tells him of the stories and secrets surrounding the Face of Boe. Some of the dialogue has been incorporated from Russell T Davies’ wonderful Doctor Who: Lockdown short, “The Secret of Novice Hame”; feels like it fleshes out the scene and the character more. Also: New Earth, new faces – down in the cellar, there’s the matter of Cassandra and the missing chav… Written and read by Daniel Rawnsley With thanks to illustrator Amera Altahan for her lovely artwork!Music used with kind permission from THE CELESTIAL MECHANICYou can view "The Secret of Novice Hame" on YouTubeOfficial Podcast Cover Art: Andy Walker Sound Effects: Pixabay, Freesound and BBC Sounds THIS AUDIO IS FAN-MADE AND A WORK OF NON-PROFIT.

    The bitchy trampoline returns! She exploded, remember? (Please don’t ask where she got her skin from). Also featuring Gollum – whoops, sorry, Chip. Cassandra watching film reels of her younger self is very “Sunset Boulevard”, and now she’s ready for her big close-up! How many callbacks to “The End of the World” can you spot?

    Chapter 2 - The Hospital

    Summoned to Ward 26, the Doctor and the dirty blonde assassin make it to their destination – a posh hospital run by vaguely-sinister cat-ladies, who call themselves the Sisters of Plenitude. No time to browse the little shop, though; cos there isn't one, and the Doctor immediately earns the staff's disfavor when he saves the life of one stone-cold Duke of Manhattan. Rose, meanwhile, isn't exactly given a warm welcome either – what with bellicose bureaucracy, disinfecting lifts and the creepy fellow waiting to escort her to a very cellar-like Ward 26, where his "Mistress" awaits...
