"Remember Harry Sullivan? He's back, in hashtag form!

A Fourth Doctor, Sarah-Jane, and Harry Sullivan story. Written by Eddie Robson, and read by Louise Jameson.


Attempting to respond to the Brigadier's summons, the Doctor, Sarah-Jane, and Harry find themselves trapped on a ship full of journalists, caught in a Zeno-Field. They can't land without the field being switched off, and the planet refuses to let anyone visit unless they're famous and influential. And unfortunately, there's no-one onboard like that. Except, perhaps, the newest romantic flame of Galactic Mega-Influencer Carla Collini. Just who is this mysterious man... Harry Sullivan?

#HarrySullivan contains examples of:

  • A Day in the Limelight: His name's in the title after all, and here Harry gets to save the day.
  • Celebrity Is Overrated: The original Carla Collini just disappared one day bcause she was sick of the constant exposure.
  • Immediate Sequel: In a proud Big Finish tradition, they've managed to slot a story into a gap where it looked like it wouldn't be possible! Specifically, it follows on from the end of Revenge of the Cybermen, which on TV is obviously meant to go straight into Terror of the Zygons.
  • Shout-Out: The Zeno-Field is one to Zeno's Paradox. It stretches space so the ship has to travel half the distance, then a quarter, then an eighth, etc, whilst never arriving.
