The Nightmare Fair, written by Graham Williams, adapted by John Ainsworth, was Big Finish’s first ever Lost Story, adapted from the script originally planned for Doctor Who’s Season 23 on television. It stars Colin Baker and Nicola Bryant (as the Sixth Doctor and Peri, respectively), with guest star David Bailie as the Celestial Toymaker (a part originated by Michael Gough in the 1960s). Here’s the synopsis:
The TARDIS has been drawn to Blackpool in the year 1985, where the Doctor intends to investigate a dangerous space/time vortex… while enjoying some local attractions along the way. But an old enemy is watching from his base deep within the amusement park, a timeless being who craves revenge.
The Celestial Toymaker has returned. The game is on. And, should he lose, the Doctor will pay the ultimate forfeit…
