Embrace the Darkness is a Big Finish Productions audio drama based on the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who.

Contents

Plot

The Doctor and Charley encounter an ancient race in the Cimmerian System, whose return could prove apocalyptic. But as the Darkness envelops the station the Doctor learns that their seemingly evil acts might be more than they appear.

Cast

  • The Doctor — Paul McGann
  • Charley Pollard — India Fisher
  • Ferras — Lee Moone
  • Haliard — Mark McDonnell
  • Orllesnsa — Nicola Boyce
  • ROSM — Ian Brooker

    • Trivia

  • The name of the robotic control system, ROSM, is clearly an homage to the title character Rossum in R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots), a Czech play from 1921, which first introduced the word 'robot' to the general lexicon.
  • In episode 2, the Doctor quotes from Romeo and Juliet ("jocund day stands tiptoe"). This foreshadows the Shakespeare theme of the next play, The Time of the Daleks.
