History Recap / BigFinishDoctorWho040Jubilee

* FlashSideways: Happens several times to the Doctor, due to sporadic telepathic contact with his alternate self.<!-- * FlyingSaucer: The Daleks' mode of transport, as usual.-->

* FreedomFromChoice: The Dalek is so used to following orders that even after a 100 years of no orders when the gun is returned the Daleks wants it removed so it doesn't have to give orders.
* FromNobodyToNightmare: Implied in the backstory. The 1903 Doctor and Evelyn were aided by President Rochester's grandfather, who was apparently a labourer. Yet somehow he ended up the English equivalent of Kim Il-sung.

"Jubilee" was loosely adapted into the TV episode [[Recap/DoctorWhoS27E6Dalek "Dalek"]] by its author, Creator/RobertShearman. The surnames of two of the actors here, Jane Goddard and Kai Simmons, would show up as characters in that episode too. It's also considered possibly the best episode Robert Shearman, and Creator/ColinBaker, ever did.----The Sixth Doctor and Evelyn arrive in the Tower of London ([[Recap/BigFinishDoctorWho006TheMarianConspiracy again]]) in 2003. Evelyn notices that the Tower is exceptionally dusty, and before she can investigate, the TARDIS vworps off in terror. The Doctor, meanwhile, has a sudden attack of FlashSideways and starts clinging to Evelyn as though he hadn't seen her for a century.

The Doctor, somewhat disturbed that Rochester still recognized him despite the fact the altered timeline never actually happened, tells Evelyn that he wants nothing more than to just get away from the Tower and London for the time being. Later, inside the TARDIS, Evelyn complains to the Doctor that she has trouble sleeping as every time she attempts to, she dreams of the Evelyn from 1903, and how she died, as if it actually happened to herself, and the Doctor tells her that he is having the same problem too. Evelyn wonders how it is possible, seeing how everything was put back to normal in the end, and the Doctor tells her a hundred years of humanity living out the worst, most depraved sides of themselves, and all the accumulated hatred and fear resulting from it, is not going to go way that easily, but will probably linger as a shadow in peoples' mind for some time, but only as the occasional dream and strange deja vus, which will be dismissed as pure fantasy by the ones experiencing them, as most will not think themselves capable of the cruel acts did in the other timeline, but he and Evelyn will know better. "The Daleks might be gone, but the evil men do will echo on forever," concludes the Doctor. Worried, Evelyn asks him if it can ever be as bad as what they saw in the other timeline. The Doctor says that maybe, if people are willing to confront the shadows in their minds and learn from the darker sides of history, things won't ever be that bad again.----!!Tropes:<ul style="list-style-type:square;">* * ActionFilmQuietDramaScene: Though not really a film. Part of the adventure has Daleks slaughtering people en masse, and Rochester and Miriam take this moment to declare their love for each other.

* BriefAccentImitation: An American little person disguised as a Dalek impersonates a British one.--->'''Dalek''': "<img class="ymmv1 rounded" src="/images/article-hreficon-ymmv.png" title="This example contains a YMMV entry. It should be moved to the YMMV tab.">[[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments Alright lads!]]"

* ExactWords: A bloodless revolution.--->"It will be bloodless. Dalek guns don't puncture the skin."

* TooSpicyForYogSothoth: Unnervingly, the lone Dalek's experiences at the hands of humanity drive it utterly insane and make it realize just how futile its own existence, and the existence of the whole Dalek race, is in the end. The torture inflicted on Dalek made it ''saner''.

--->'''The Doctor''': That's cheating.//
