Embrace the Darkness is a Big Finish Productions audio drama based on the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who.

Plot

The Doctor and Charley encounter an ancient race in the Cimmerian System, whose return could prove apocalyptic. But as the Darkness envelops the station the Doctor learns that their seemingly evil acts might be more than they appear.

Cast

The Doctor — Paul McGann
Charley Pollard — India Fisher
Ferras — Lee Moone
Haliard — Mark McDonnell
Orllesnsa — Nicola Boyce
ROSM — Ian Brooker

Trivia

The name of the robotic control system, ROSM, is clearly an homage to the title character Rossum in R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots), a Czech play from 1921, which first introduced the word 'robot' to the general lexicon.
In episode 2, the Doctor quotes from Romeo and Juliet ("jocund day stands tiptoe"). This foreshadows the Shakespeare theme of the next play, The Time of the Daleks.
