Dust Breeding

Dust Breeding was the twenty-first monthly Doctor Who audio story produced by Big Finish Productions, published in 2001. It featured the Seventh Doctor and Ace. It also debuted in audio form the Master voiced by Geoffrey Beevers who had last played the role in The Keeper of Traken in 1981.

Publisher's summary Edit

On nineteenth-century Earth, artist Edvard Munch hears an infinite scream pass through nature. Centuries later, his painting of that Scream hangs in a gallery on the barren dust world Duchamp 331.

Why is there a colony of artists on a planet that is little more than a glorified garage? What is the event that the passengers of the huge, opulent pleasure cruiser 'Gallery' are hoping to see? And what is hidden in the crates that litter the cargo hold?

The Doctor's diary indicates that the painting is about to be destroyed in "mysterious circumstances", and when he and Ace arrive on Duchamp 331, those circumstances are well underway.

Plot Edit

Cast Edit

References Edit

Mr Seta is an anagram of "Master."
The Warp Core strips the Master's previous body, leaving only his original decaying Time Lord body.
The planet Duchamp is named after French-born US artist Marcel Duchamp. In 1920, Man Ray photographed the dust accumulating on the surface of Duchamp's "Large Glass" construction. The resulting image was titled Dust Breeding.
Some of the character names are derived from famous artists - Madam Salvadori (Salvador Dali), Klemp (Gustav Klimt) and Damien Pierson (Damien Hirst).

Art by Lee Sullivan featured in DWM 306.

This story marks the first appearance of the Master in an audio drama.
An illustrated preview for this story featured DWM 306 illustrated by Lee Sullivan.

The first two editions of aHistory dated this story to circa 4260, but the third edition redates it to circa 5257 in keeping with the redating of The Genocide Machine.

Continuity Edit

The Krill previously appeared in PROSE: Storm Harvest.
Bev Tarrant last appeared in AUDIO: The Genocide Machine and would later go on to appear in the Big Finish Productions Bernice Summerfield series.
The Doctor would encounter this incarnation of the Master once again on Perfugium in the far future. At that time, the Master believed himself to be a surgeon named "Doctor John Smith." (AUDIO: Master)
In his art gallery, the Doctor has a copy of the Mona Lisa. He tells Ace the one in the Louvre has "This is a fake" written in felt tip. It is implied that the Doctor has the original. (TV: City of Death)
