A solar tsunami sends the TARDIS hurtling towards a futuristic factory on earth where human doppelgangers are used to mine dangerous acid. A second wave hits and the “Gangers” separate. They can remember every second of their “originals” life and feel every emotion they’ve ever experienced, but are these memories stolen or have they been bequeathed? Are the Gangers merely faulty machinery that must be shut down or are they living, breathing, sentient beings? Can the Doctor convince the terrified humans to accept these “almost people” and prevent an all-out civil war before the factory explodes?
Rory Williams is Amy Pond’s husband, a straightforward sort of guy who works as a nurse. He’s known Amy since they were children, when she made him dress up as her legendary ‘raggedy Doctor’.
Josie Long is a writer and comedian who has written for the Channel 4 series ‘Skins,’ and currently presents the podcast ‘Lost Treasure of the Black Heart.’
A great deal about these robots remains a mystery, but they are not evil creatures. Automated robots who run the Twostreams Facility on Apalapucia, they are relentless and determined to carry out their pre-programmed task no matter what.
