M037 - The Sandman

Starting with a foreboding scene about the nightmarish "Sandman" character, a species-wide boogeyman, the story of an alien world haunted by a collective memory quickly reveals that the source of the nightmare is the Doctor himself.

Lacking some of the concrete villainy that can be required to keep an audio story engaging, the tale of how the Doctor became a millenia-old nightmare to an alien race flounders a bit. The episode has a highlight in the explanation for Colin Baker's technicolor coat, but is otherwise bland.
