Per TRS, Talking To Himself has been disambiguated


* TalkingToHimself: Typical of Companion Chronicles, which are essentially audiobooks read by an actor. In this story, Creator/PeterPurves plays his character Steven Taylor, and Creator/JeanMarsh plays Sara Kingdom, but both also play other characters in addition to simply narrating events. Purves does a good imitation of Creator/WilliamHartnell's Doctor.

* TimeCrash: The First Doctor's TARDIS is crashed into by some human temporal scientists who had made the first ever time flight, and both groups are then left on a desert island with no time travel. The result at first appears to be this, as the order of cause and effect seems messed up and things that cannot possibly exist (a 'time sprite') begin attacking them. However, this is a subversion, as it turns out that both teams are still inside the TARDIS and it has put the crews in a repair dimension while it attempts to ''stop'' time breaking down as a result of the crash.

Role Reprisal was renamed to Role Reprise, and it's also Trivia. Moved to the Trivia page.


* RoleReprisal: Peter Purves and Jean Marsh play their Doctor Who characters from back in the 60s, during the third season of the original program. The characters are meant to be the same age now as they were then, which the actors can just about get away with because of the audio-only format.
