We’ve probably all met a teacher who disliked children in our time, but in Dark Gallifrey: Master! – Part One, the brand-new full-cast audio drama released today by Big Finish, none would be quite as nasty as the Master. In this new trilogy in the Dark Gallifrey saga, the Master disguises himself as a teacher to a group of young Gallifreyans. What could possibly go wrong?
In this chilling story, written by Lizzie Hopley, the evil Time Lord takes a group of students on a trip but when their ship crashes, the young Gallifreyans find themselves trapped on a barren, twisted version of their home planet. It goes without saying that the Master has some devious plans for the young students.
Years later, Gamara, one of the survivors of this ill-fated day trip sets out to uncover the truth about what happened to her and her fellow students during that encounter with one of the most evil minds in the universe.
