Synopsis

Professor Nightshade - tea-time terror for all the family, and the most loved show in Britain. But Professor Nightshade's days are long over, and Edmund Trevithick is now just an unemployed actor in a retirement home, fondly remembering his past. It's the same through the entire village of Crook Marsham - people are falling prey to their memories. At first harmlessly, and then, the bodies begin to turn up. The Doctor and Ace arrive on the scene - but, with the Doctor planning his retirement, it may be time for Professor Nightshade to solve one last case. Nightshade is based on the novel by Mark Gatiss from the Virgin New Adventures series of Doctor Who books. REVIEWS 'This feels very much like a Doctor Who story we could have expected had the show continued on television in the after season 26. It's dramatic, exciting, fun, well written (by both its authors) and charismatic as well, a wonderful story excellently told.' - Doctor Who Companion 'Nightshade is a great Doctor Who story that focusses more on its main characters than it does on its monsters; which is in no way a bad thing.' 9.5/10 - Gallifrey Archive 'A gripping movie length tale - different from but equally valid to the original.' 9/10 - Sci-Fi Bulletin

FCF is not enrolled in a commission programme and does not add tracking parameters. A retailer or source may supply its own referral parameters; those are controlled by the destination, not FCF.

How to read this entry: the catalogue keeps each purchasable audio part as its own link. “Part N of M” describes a split audio production, while “Book N” is the numbered series position; neither label claims that separate rows are the same text edition or a complete set.
