NEXT STOP EVERYWHERE 305: "The Nightmare Fair" Is Up!

 
"A being the Time Lords couldn't handle?"
"Oh, there are lots of them. Time Lords generally aren't very good at handling things, especially themselves. I just...the exception to the rule."
-- Peri Brown and the Sixth Doctor, Doctor Who: "The Nightmare Fair"
