where there's smoke there's--

What's said to be the last ever DORS ends (fittingly, given the title of the release) with four stories centered around loss (specifically River losing her parents; her mother is mentioned often in the audio).

The series inspired by a pitch about placing River in situations on the “fringes” of Classic Who stories.¹ River finds herself in situations starting just before or during the Classic Who serials An Unearthly Child, The Abominable Snowmen, Carnival of Monsters, and The Talons of Weng-Chiang. Don’t worry—there are River/Doctor meetings just like the other seasons before this one. (Hint: not Four.)
