Plot
As the paradox from the R-101 airship starts to unravel time and space, The Doctor and Charley, together with President Romana, go beyond the confines of our Universe to a world populated by "neverpeople", those who exist outside of time and space. It's in this Neverland that the Doctor uncovers the origins of a legend from the earliest days of Gallifrey's history that tells the story of a powerful Time Lord... and a creature from an ancient nursery rhyme, known only as Zagreus.

Notes
- One of the Gallifreyan voices at the start of the play mentions the rise to power of Mavic Chen, a character from The Daleks' Master Plan.
- The Doctor mentions having stood in the tomb of Rassilon; this was during The Five Doctors.
- Subscribers to Big finish received The Maltese Penguin free with this story.
- Following on from The Time of the Daleks, the Daleks and their Emperor are held in a time loop. But by the Dalek Empire spin-off series, the Daleks have been released, presumably by the Time Lords, to preserve causality.
- Co-ordinator Vansell previously appeared in Sirens of Time and The Apocalypse Element and returns in the Doctor Who Unbound play, He Jests at Scars...
- This is Romana's first appearance since the Sixth Doctor audio, The Apocalypse Element. Her story continues in Zagreus and the Gallifrey series.
