The Doctor and Ruby Sunday are up against the Scream Sommelier – a villain who collects screams and is very interested in collecting the scream of a Time Lord. While the Doctor and his new ally Maria flee from the Cybermen, Ruby and the Cankaranka race of alien insects head for the Tardis, only to find that it is missing. As the Doctor and the Scream Sommelier spar in a faraway place, Ruby tries to convince the Cankaranka that they should join the other survivors upstairs in the mall.
The Scream Sommelier is another of Doctor Who’s unconventional villains who is proving to be quite scary. In this story by Dan Watters, he is tapping into what everyone fears on both the large scale and individually. It’s an interesting story as the Doctor tries to outwit the Scream Sommelier, and a suspenseful one as the stakes keep getting raised.
